Lebanon/USAF A-29 Super Tucano's

Post by martinkelly94 »

Seen passing through Prestwick on delivery to the Lebanon AF were 2 A-29 Super Tucanos. They were in USAF colours as they had been built and training pilots in the states.

I think they look pretty cool, and certainly a lot easier on the eye than the original Tucano :hide:

At least they'll be the same size as each other, not like the Tucanos that were built for the RAF. :grin:
