SC-105 Amazonas Aircraft supposed to accompany the PAF Super Tucanos landed in Cape Verde in Sep. 4, 2020

The SC-105 Amazonas Aircraft of the Brazilian Air Force with the Aircraft Registration Code FAB6551 that was supposed to accompany the A-29 Super Tucanos of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) actually only made its flight from Fernando de Noronha in Brazil to Cape Verde in Africa yesterday, September 4, 2020 as per Aircraft Tracking Websites like FlightAware. 

The Aircraft took off from Fernando de Noronha at 7:01 am and landed in Cape Verde at 1:32 pm, a flight of 5 hours and 31 minutes. If it had accompanied the PAF Super Tucanos during the flight, then those aircraft would’ve already landed in Cape Verde also.

Their next stops are reportedly as follows:

PAF Super Tucano Delivery delayed

A bit of bad news as the delivery of the A-29 Super Tucano aircraft of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) has been delayed by at least two months.

Previous news reports said that deliveries were supposed to start by December 2019 and completed by February 2020, but the new schedule says that the deliveries will instead start around the end of February 2020. No reason has been given for the delay in schedule.

Embraer has a good product with their Super Tucanos, but their delivery of the aircraft to Indonesia also suffered some delays as reported back in 2014.

I just wanted to show everyone a view of the Glass Cockpit of the latest version of the A-29 Super Tucano Aircraft. It seems to me that the main Multi-Function Displays (MFD) of the A-29 is even bigger than those found on our FA-50PH Fighting Eagle Aircraft.
