Zabala Álvarez
Correction

Gerardo Zabala Álvarez is not the commander of the Bolivian Air Force; he has been reported as the (interim) commander-in-chief of Bolivia’s Armed Forces, while the Bolivian Air Force’s commander has been Juan Jesús Ballester Aguirre (interim).

Full reasoning
The article’s infobox lists **“Zabala Álvarez”** under “Commanders,” implying he is the head of the Bolivian Air Force (FAB). However, multiple sources identify **Gral. Brig. Aé. Juan Jesús Ballester Aguirre** as the (interim) **Comandante General** (Commander General) of the **Fuerza Aérea Boliviana**: - The official Bolivian Air Force website (FAB) describes a January 2025 meeting led by “**el Comandante General de la FAB, Gral. Brig. Aé. Juan Jesús Ballester Aguirre**,” explicitly naming Ballester Aguirre as FAB’s commander. - Another FAB news post (April 2025) again refers to “**el Comandante General a.i. de la Fuerza Aérea Boliviana, Gral. Brig. Aé. Juan Jesús Ballester Aguirre**.” By contrast, reporting about Gerardo Zabala Álvarez indicates he was appointed **(interim) Comandante en Jefe de las Fuerzas Armadas** (Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces), which is a different role than commander of the Air Force. Therefore, listing “Zabala Álvarez” as the FAB commander is incorrect based on these sources.
