AerMacchi MB339
Italians fit out flying machines for our magnificent menIvan Gale
Last Updated: Feb 13, 2011
An Italian aerospace company is fitting out the UAE's first aerobatic team to create a troupe of flying aces similar to Britain's Red Arrows, the US Blue Angels and Italy's Frecce Tricolori.
Alenia Aermacchi, a unit of the Italian defence giant Finmeccanica, has retrofitted 10 jets, with features such as dye and smoke tanks, for the Emirates to launch its aerobatics team. Emirati pilots are also being trained in Italy through a joint programme with the Italian air force's Frecce Tricolori.
The work comes as the UAE seeks to boost the flying abilities of its air force pilots and have its team, called Al Fursan, or The Knights, serve as unofficial country ambassadors. The team is expected to become operational this summer.
With black and gold livery featuring red leading edges and green, black, red and white chevrons under the wings, the 10 Alenia MB-339As were upgraded at the company's factory in Venegono, Italy. They include six planes that were already in the UAE Air Force and Air Defence fleet, and four jets that used to be owned by the Italian Air Force.
MB 339A kita masih beroperasi ker? Kalau boleh buat macam UAE ni bagus juga, have our own aerobatic team.
_______________________________ err.. dulu ada taming sari kan? Taming Sari guna propeller planes, guna jet ni lagi bagus as proven by the Italian Frecce Tricolori. Gini la, pesawat pun tak cukup...tak perlu la ada dedicated aerobatic team ni... Reply 4# alphawolf

Dulu dulu ada la, sekarang banyak planes dok dalam ward jer... Tiada harapan utk upgrade MB339A RMAF. Sebab utama : mereka yg pandai pandai sudah masuk MB339A ke muzium kat Sg Besi. Jatuh air muka kalau keluar dari muzium utk apa-apa tujuan murni pun. Tiada harapan utk upgrade MB339A RMAF. Sebab utama : mereka yg pandai pandai sudah masuk MB339A ke m ...

What the #$&*&* !!!
Rugi betul. Itu la, dulu dah elok elok runding nak beli banyak lagi dari NZAF ( sebab dia org dah bubarkan airforce dia org ) , ada pulak jerung perkasa dok lobby kata cheaper beli airframe baru, pasang engine yg dah ada, lepas tu, found out belanja lagi besar. Last last yang NZ punya tu terlepas kat orang lain.
Kalau tak boleh la juga buat macam Frecce Tricolorri ker, at least tak la melepak jer pilot2 TUDM, tak ada plane nak terbang. What the #$&*&* !!!

Antara sebab bukan hanya geng2 pembangkang sahaja yang sabotaj pemerolehan ATM, tapi geng pemerintah yang ada kawtim JP Inc.
Mana kita tak haru ...

Jangan marah/sedih. Inilah keadaan sekarang sektor pertahanan. Tanya sikit , "Rahsia negara" , "keselamatan negara" , "pengkianat " segera dilemparkan. Macam mana nak bina keyakinan and bergerak maju ? perkara macam ini masih dan sedang berlangsung di depan mata kita. Wa boleh quote AV 8, pembelian Vamtac etc. kat philipine sudah mampu merakit aermachi nih la..
