Provider
The FAA has completed final certification for Embraer's 314
Super Tucano aircraft, paving the way for the airplane to be placed
on contract with Tactical Air Defense Servicesc (TADF). The company
had acquired the airplane through a joint-venture Services
Agreement with Tactical Air Support ("TacAir").

TADF offers tactical aviation services, aerial refueling,
aircraft maintenance, and other Aerospace/Defense services to the
United States and Foreign militaries and agencies. The company says
the Super Tucano has already generated significant interest from
potential military and commercial customers of the aircraft, and
will depart shortly on a capabilities demonstration of the west
coast military bases. Prior to receiving FAA certification, the
Super Tucano was presented at the Reno Air Races in the military
display section.
The Embraer 314 Super Tucano is a specialty military aircraft
with capabilities in counter-insurgency and air-to-ground bombing,
and is the only one of its kind offered in the U.S. Additionally,
this is the only Super Tucano in the world being offered through a
commercial Aerospace/Defense services contractor.
TactAir was founded by a group of former Navy, Marine, and Air
Force Weapon's School Instructors to provide the military and
commercial sectors with the highest possible quality of aviation,
maintenance and consulting support. "We are pleased to announce
that the Super Tucano has successfully received FAA certification,"
said Alexis C. Korybut, Chief Executive Officer of TADF. "Due to
it's exceptional capabilities, we have already seen demand for the
Super Tucano from both military and commercial users that we
believe will quickly translate into revenue-generating
opportunities to deploy the aircraft on contract."
