Scramble 467

... o/o PT-ZZF reserved 31400238 oct17
... o/o PT-ZZG reserved 31400239 oct17

... o/o PT-ZZJ reserved 31400241 oct17
As posted on our immensely popular Facebook page, we have
identified the six previous identities of the follow-up Super
Tucano deal that was kept under wraps. The first two have
been delivered as PT-ZZB/ZZD to Grupo 1 at Iquique on 10
March. Although some websites tie 464 to 31400236 , we think
it far more realistic that this one is tied to 31400237. Time
will tell...

Pitts S-2S
... pres Santiago ex pres MNAE 3003? feb18
This was ‘lost’ from the MNAE after an outing to the 2010
FIDAE. However, as it turns out, it was transferred to the
Museo Jedimar de Automóviles antiguos, S33.46502°, W70.68110°,
barely 3 kilometres North of Los Cerillos on 6 September 2010
already... Jedimar is an acronym for Jesús Diez Martínez, the
founder. The aircraft has been hanging from the ceiling since
the opening of the museum. Its identity is surmised and
requires confirmation. They also have a DH60G Gipsy Moth
replica. See http://www.museojedimar.cl.

Mexico

Armada de México – Fuerza Aeronaval (NY)
The navy has ordered a single Cessna 208EX Grand Caravan
to replace its Cessna 402 in use for logistic support duties.
The latter is probably AMT-240.

The first CASA 212 reported as preserved, this is a 400-model
by upgrade, with the short nose of the 200-model but with
winglets. The identity given with the picture makes this ex
MP-510, however, confirmation is required.

Both are preserved at BAN Las Bajadas, reregistration to the
ANX-series probably never happened.

PNP-311 wfu tail Avon Park, FL mar18
As its tail is at Avon Park, we assume it is withdrawn.

Uruguay

Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya (AF)
In February, a member of the National Defence Committee of
the House of Representatives revealed that talks with Hongdu
Aviation Industry Corporation (HAIG) are still underway for
at least eight L-15s. As always, it depends on financial and
political green light. After all, such talks have stranded
with Venezuela and Bolivia before, so Uruguay could be the
LATAM launch customer.

The days of the T-41D with the air force of the Dominican Republic are long gone. Late 2015, fice Cessna 172S were acquired for basic training
duties with the Escuela de Aviacion. (FARD1511, Ce172S, Escuela de Aviacion, San Isidro, 11 February 2018, Johnny Rod)
