| A modest air show was organized at this interesting airfield, which is home of the FAB test unit IPEV, and the cradle of Embraer’s highly successful ERJ-lineage. The show was held on the military apron, and we had full access with a press pass, which allowed for some decent shots and checking. The Embraer memorial was also visited, the Super Tucano prototype is their latest edition. More ERJs were parked at Embraer’s facilities, which could not be entered. The stored Tracker at the aero club here has gone. Fumaça flew one of their first demos since they converted to the Super Tucano. Along with Fumaça, a mock-up of the Gripen was advertised on local radio as one of the star attractions of the show... | |||
