An aircraft takes off from the Buenos Aires international airport, Thursday, May 24, 2007. The Argentine capital's main airport radar hasn't worked properly since being struck by lightning in March, meaning jets must fly under manual control, causing long delays and at least two near collisions, according to air traffic controllers. Brazil's deadliest air disaster in September exposed other gaps in the continental system, from inadequate equipment to poor training.
