The sudden death of former Argentine President Nestor Kirchner on October 27, 2010 brought many heads of state and dignitaries to Buenos Aires for his wake at the Casa Rosada Presidential Palace the following day.   With Aeroparque located only about seven kilometers from the palace most of the visitors flew into this airport with the most important officials continuing by helicopter to the Casa Rosada. 

Some of the more interesting aircraft to visit AEP on October 28 and 29 were:
