Description
A large unidentified Contra helicopter flies over El Porvenir Farm, located two kilometers from the Honduras-Nicaragua border with three passengers. Below the helicopter, there are two houses and several villagers stand idly next to a peach-colored house. In the background, the mountains of the Nicaraguan countryside are visible. The helicopter and its crew are part of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN in Spanish), whose members are known informally as "Contras." Un helicóptero grande no identificado de los contras vuela sobre la granja El Porvenir, localizada a dos kilómetros de la frontera entre Honduras y Nicaragua. Debajo del helicóptero hay dos casas y varios aldeanos de pie ociosamente al lado de una casa. Al fondo de la imagen se observan las montañas del campo nicaragüense. El helicóptero y sus tripulantes forman parte de la Fuerza Demócratica Nicaragüense (FDN), cuyos miembros son conocidos informalmente como la contra.
