“Not exactly. What was removed was Air Base designation (now you can’t say for sure – unless you have a good database -, for example, if a given F-5E is based in Canoas or in Rio de Janeiro).

Anyway, I still have no idea what the tail codes for this 3 AT-29’s will be.”

Primer55,

So, there are no tail codes, right? We can identify that the F5s in grey paint scheme are the ones from Canoas and the camo ones are from Santa Cruz. As we have one type of Mirage, it´s esy to identify them. But the AMXs, Tucanos fleets is a bit difficult.

“I think Super Tucanos have chaff/flares launcher as well as RWR but Im not sure .”
F5M – Yes, the Super Tucano is fitted with these equipments.

“……in FAP’s experience its almost routine shuting down or attacking drug related positions, i’m not sure but i think our FAB’s brothers have “talked a bit” with FAP’s dudes, it wouldnt be first time they help each other.
Camaro.”
Hy Camaro, well FAB officials are in contact with Grupo 51 pilots (Tucano) as well as the Grups that operates the Dragonfly and even the Frogfoot as our Peruvian brothers know how to do this job. The same applies for Colombians.
“HEY A-29 I WANNA GO TO THE “CARNAVAL DE RIO… “
AS BELLAS GAROTTAS DU BRASIL “
The Carnaval in Rio is the most famous, but, only for the parade. If you want to have a lot of fun with party 24 hours aday during almos seven days, go to Bahia. The Carnival there is on the streets, people from all over the country go there and is really enjoyable. If you wanna see beautiful people, go there. 😀

In fact Super Tucano is a turboprop aircraft, although it is fast, it cannot follow a jet, even carrying AAM (due to range). In this case AF jets will sent, as the reason why Brazilian fighter jets are regularly deployed to the Amazon region. For light transports, it fits perfectly.

“In any case I must agree this is quite an impressive deal for Embraer. I’m glad they are having some military success outside the AMX. I’d like to see the AMX get some more orders though….I like that little plane.”

Phantom II, don´t forget that Embraer´s major military success was the T-27 Tucano turboprop trainer sold to ten countries including France and UK (license built by Shorts). The sales for the AMX did not materialize as expected with exception of 08 jets that Venezuela got but not delivered yet.
The ERJ-145 is a very good looking airplane. I saw, last year, FAB R-99B and it is impressive.

I guess the F-16 is coming to equip FAB either a brand new or a used one, but, the chances are great and with Embraer on the deal.
