At last, after just over two years I've gone solo again in one of these beasties...

Its fun when you have 1050hp to play with! Grin

I'd be proud, too- if I weren't so envious. I hate you...
but you're OK, I guess.

Hey Charlie, Do you mind if I ask what you do?

I have been trying to figure it for a while now.

That's a Tucano. It's an RAF advanced trainer, used just before the pilots go onto the Hawk. Wink

Thanks guys. As Whitey says its a Tucano, a license built version of the original Embraer design, with a better engine and modified to become more similar to the Hawk...

Its a very nice aeroplane to fly - its nice to be able to tootle along at 240kts (the fastest I've had it solo so far!) Cheesy
