I went to the National Aeronautics Museum (Museo Nacional de
Aeronáutica), and I checked the roundels on the planes for the
proportions. They appeared to be three concentrics circles of radiuses
1:2:3. Inner and outer circles are light blue (traditional argentine
celeste), middle circle is white.

![[FAA fin flash]](../misc/ar^fin.gif)
Both Fuerza Aérea Argentina and
Comando de Aviación Naval Argentina
uses a square variant of the national flag as fin
flash while the sun is
replaced by a proeminent yellow/gold dot.

I checked the book [whe86]
again and also some photos of FAA planes and it sure look
like a darker shade of blue. Using a darker shade is probably
to make the symbols (roundel and fin
flash) more visible.

Well, I checked another source and it seems «The
aircraft roundel has the same colors
as the national ensign. (...)
The fin flash is a miniature of the national flag and
includes the “sun of May”
marking in the center commemorating the country’s
independence in 1810.»

Album 2000 [pay00] says
in a note that the national flag is painted on the fin.
