The following is a list in chronological order of acquisition of the aircraft that were used by the aviation of the National Army of Uruguay since the origin of military aviation in the country in 1913, and through the different organizations that developed within it, such as the Military Aviation School or the Military Aeronautics until 1953, the year of the creation of the independent Fuerza Aérea Militar (Military Air Force), current Uruguayan Air Force.[1] However, in some cases the service periods shown for the aircraft below exceed the existence of the uniformed service in which they served, due to the fact that some of the aircraft continued their service beyond the existence of the organization and remained operating in the immediately following. The total number of aircraft that made up the fleets of each of the models is not included, so they should not be taken as unique airframes.
