Embraer C-390 at AFB Waterkloof

On Friday morning (24 Nov 2023) a Brazilian Air Force C-390 (PT ZNG) arrived at AFB Waterkloof for demonstration flights to the South African Air Force (SAAF) and other government departments as the SAAF investigates future replacement or augmentation of its ageing C-130BZ Hercules fleet. After landing at Waterkloof, the C-390 was met by senior Department of Defence (DoD) leadership, including Chief of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF), General Rudzani Maphwanya; Chief of the SAAF, Lieutenant General Wiseman Mbambo and Chief of the SA Navy, Vice Admiral Monde Lobese. Following a media briefing, the aircraft took off for a demonstration flight with SANDF members and various representatives from government departments. The full feature with photographs and a video will be published in the December edition of African Pilot. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AFRICAN PILOT MAGAZINE Website: https://www.africanpilot.africa Linkedin -   / africanpilot   Instagram -   / africanpilot.africa   X / Twitter - https://x.com/africanpilot Facebook -   / africanpilot   Email - Editor: [email protected] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
