More details on the SF.260 wreck would be very welcome, like date, location etc.

nice photo’s of the MFI-15 aircraft, thanks.

Do you have any photo’s of the Siai Marchetti SF.260MZ aircraft, pre Saab Supporter ?
Or of the Aermacchi SF.260TW aircraft, post Saab Supporter ?
Inside Zambia, please, as I have seen some SF.260TW photo’s while on their testflights at airfield Venegono, Italy.

[QUOTE=Vatche;1849903]Burkina Faso Super Tucanos. It seems that these don’t have the internal 12.7 mm machine guns.

The 3 EMB-314 aircraft were on their delivery flight.
Probably easier to go international without weapons then with gun barrels coming out of the wings leading edge.

Guns being delivered in separate boxes to the customer.
But it is unknown if Burkina Faso ordered the armed version of the trainer version.

Would be great to see some post delivery photos of the EMB-314 in Burkina Faso.

strange, what kind of fuel is needed for the Grippen, mogas ?? LOL
No jet A1, JP4 or JP8 ??

Another SF.260 damaged by “in proper” canopy rigging ??

Mr Frati newest flying design is the Golden Car F.30, please have a look at the following url.

people, what ever the number of seat in the PC-12.
Remember half of them were childeren.
Take a look at your boys soccer game next Saterday.
How many boys, 10-12 years old, fit in your back seat of the car.
Take care next time you load your car with childeren and luggage
to take them to an out-game. Ad an extra 2-3 cars to transport
the team.

Lets hope the NTSB finds an answer to the cause of this accident.

May we learn from this accident.
