Indonesian AF Super Tucanos

Post by Le Addeur noir »

The Tentera Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara(Indonesian Air Force) received the first four of sixteen Embraer Super Tucanos at the maunfacturer's plant at Sao Jose dos Campos on the 6th August.

These four airplanes are due to arrive in Indonesia on 2nd Spetember.A further tranche of four airplanes are due for delivery by the end of 2012.

If(as seems likely) these airplanes are air delivered,they should pass through Europe.

Would anyone care to elaborate on their routing on their(assumed) delivery flight?.

The base for these Super Tucanos will be Malang.
