摘要

Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) has unveiled the second of three Embraer A-29B Super Tucano aircraft for US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) in a heritage color scheme. SNC released images of the aircraft, serial number 20-2102, on March 29, showing it in similar colors to those worn by the P-51 Mustangs and P-47 Thunderbolts flown by US Army Air Forces during World War Two combat operations in the China, Burma, and India campaigns around 1944. The aircraft had arrived at SNC's modification facilities in Centennial, Colorado, on February 23 from the Embraer Defense & Security final assembly line in Jacksonville, Florida.
