I’ve always liked how the Tucano looked. It’s a handsome aircraft...in the same category of aesthetics as the P-51 or P-38...at least for me...

Can you imagine a P-51 with a turbo prop?...the Tucano is pretty close!

It’s always seemed to me that a plane like the Super Tucano would serve many of the defense needs of smaller, less-developed nations quite well. The ST has a nice balance of affordability and sophistication, with a pretty impressive weapons loadout and good defensive protection.
