Embraer carried out the transfer flight of the first A-29N Super Tucano to OGMA, in Portugal. The first three aircraft, which landed at the facilities in Alverca do Ribatejo, district of Lisbon, will now receive the necessary equipment to operate in accordance with the operational requirements of NATO and Portugal.

The first three airplanes have landed in Portugal just eight months after the contract signature between the State of Portugal and Embraer (see for details AVIONEWS).

The A-29 Super Tucano is the global reference in its category with more than 600,000 flight hours (see for details AVIONEWS). Currently, 22 air forces have selected it and other Nations have already shown their interest in this model.

The Super Tucano offers a wide range of missions such as Advanced Pilot Training, CAS, Air Patrol, Air Interdiction, JTAC Training, Armed ISR, Border Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Air Escort.
