That does not look like Blackwater’s machine. The antenna setup is completely different from their N314TG and equals to Colombian Super Tucanos.

Is it a pre-delivery testflight of a Colombian EMB-314 ?
More info about this photo welcome, and may be a larger size.
Interested in the writing on the fuselage, either serial number or registration ?

the difference between western and russian demands for a jet trainer lead to a split up between Aermacchi en Yak, leading to eventually two versions.
The western model M-346 and the russian model Yak-130.

‘QAB was lost (it was the one wearing sand and brown camouflage) there are a couple pics of the wreckage on the net.
‘AAX wears a nice 2-tone grey camo… hendriksf260 posted a few pics of it on a previous Small Air Forces thread

contrailjj, Sir, could you direct me to an url for those pictures of the wreckage, please.
I have not seen those of PC-7 QAB.
The pictures is not a mixe-up with those of SF.260 334/TT-QAL, I hope. Which was shoot down in November 2006.

PC-7 TT-AAX, was bought in the USA on the second hand market.

mr Tipsy,

thanks, I just receive word earlier today about PC-7 s/n. 520 returning to the Dutch Register.

regards,
Hendrik

Pilatus PC-7, N520WA, s/n. 520 is former HB-HDF, PH-JWF, HB-HDF, F-GMEB, HB-HMB.
It started live as one of a three ship PC-7s being operated by the Martini Racing aerobatic team from France. Later renamed Ecco team, Adecco team, Les Apaches team.
It replaced the Siai Marchetti SF.260 with Martini Racing. The PC-7 on it’s turn was replaced by the Aero L-39. The name changed once more to the Brindling team (spelling might be wrong) flying a fleet of L-39 aircraft.

I love to know where it going to.

Paraguay and Pakistan did not operate the Northrop F-5.

Pakistani may have flown and maintained F-5s as ‘mercenaries’ for other countries.

hey, I see a lot of russian (sowjet) equipment on this thread from various African countries, it is nice.
But I wonder if people, who are in countries like Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Uganda take a break sometimes from the russian stuff in order to take a photo of Italian equipment.
In other words, are there any recent photos of Siai Marchetti / Agusta / Aermacchi SF.260’s made in the countries like Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and Uganda ?
Any info about the Zimbabwe F.260F’s delivered in 1998 ?

Hendrik
