Copperstate Fly-In 2010 - Page 7

I need to do a little research but I think the black bird below is a Tacano. Probably used as a trainer and/or light attack aircraft. I didn't get close enough to learn more about the aircraft but the markings appear to be British.

Ok, here is the scoop. The Tucano T1 is a modified version of the Brazilian Embraer EMB-312 Tucano aircraft, and is built under licence by Shorts of Belfast. The Tucano is operated primarily from No 1 Flying Training School, at RAF Linton-on-Ouse, to provide basic fastjet flying training to RAF and RN student pilots, and basic WSO training to all potential RAF WSOs. Student pilots fly around 130 hours during their training course on the Tucano before progressing to the Hawk T1 aircraft at RAF Valley.

Don't know how this aircraft came to be at the fly-in but it was impressive.
