Air Force Base visit part IV

[ToneGunsRevisited]

Here is another great work that Embraer put out, and we call it T-27 Tucano (toucan). It's used like a small weight fighter to hunt illegal aireplanes on brazilian airspace and like a trainer for the begginer pilots. He is in use in many countries around the world.

This particulary plane is from our Air Demonstration Squad that we call Esquadrilha da Fumaça (Smoke Squad).

Hope you like it and learned something about my country.

Thanks for the tour (and the great pics) TG! A lot of those aircraft I have never seen before. The Aussie air force mostly runs US planes, so you see the F18's/F111's/C130's/Blackhawks etc that you see everywhere (not that those aircraft aren't cool!). It was good to see some different stuff for a change. There's a former air force base not too far (30 or 40km) from my home that is now a museum with aircraft (and tanks) all the way back to WWI. The last time I went there was quite a few years ago, but after reading your posts it's made me want to visit again! I might even take some Joes with me, like you did! :D

There is a lot of inspiration! Thanks for lookin'.

Muy Bueno (that's all the Spanish I remember from Grade 10)
but I agree with you Toneguns there is a lot of inspiration there
it makes me wish I knew how to build model airplanes in that scale
cause that would be really sweet. My makeshift BlackHawk was
so awful I don't even want to get into it. I crafted it from cardboard
and the container from a restaurant that I got a doggy bag from.
It sounds bad I know. My boss makes model airplanes in larger scales
which makes me think that there must be model airplanes in our 3 and 3/4
inch scale. I looked at the pictures wondering when ordance was coming
and was very pleased when I came to this last one which showed the
ordance that I was waiting for. Great shot of that twenty millimeter cannon
that was really sweet. I hope to see more shots.

Now i can say with out a doubt the USAF could wipe Brazil off the map in a heart beat! (Just kidding) I've got an Air National Guard base near me. it's got A-10s and C-130Js. the only base i've really been on is andrews and it was for an open house. (this was pre 9-11) they still have it, so maybe in may if i beg and plead ic can go and take some pics. (and i'd bring my thunderwing because in some pictures i saw of this year's they show off the F-22!)

There is always a possibility, but don't forgot that you were defeated at Vietnam and are going to the same way in Iraq and Afeghanistan :p . And they 3 togethe,r aren't a 3rd part from Brazil, being so... Maybe you should ask where your soldiers came to learn fight in jungle enviroments ;) And don't forget that we don't teach all our tricks. ;)
