The Brazilian Navy is in the process of receiving its seventh and final modernised Skyhawk fighter jet.
The acceptance of the AF-1B jet, tail number N-1004, was initiated on 7 March and is expected to take three to four weeks, the navy told Janes on 21 March. Five AF-1 single-seat and two AF-1A twin-seat aircraft from Squadron Falcão based at the Naval Air Base of São Pedro da Aldeia were modernised to the AF-1B and AF-1C standard, respectively, since 2015. One AF-1B crashed in July 2016. [...]
Brazil's Skyhawk modernisation programme (sometimes called AF-1M) included overhauling the airframe and engine, as well as installing an AEL Sistemas glass cockpit, an ELTA Systems ELM-2032 radar, onboard oxygen-generation system, Rohde & Schwarz radios, navigation equipment, Elbit Systems radar warning receiver, and mission computer.
