A batch of disassembled A-37Bs were donated by the US Govt. to the Colombian AF.

These airplabes are being refurbished and assembled at the FAC's maintenance base. After two test flights to ensure all ststems are go, they are placed on operational status.

It takes them approximately 11 months to complete one airplane, at an estimated cost of $900,000

The Dragonflies are used for armed recon, CAS, drug interdiction. Have been equipped with modenr avionics and lights for night ops.

That is the gist if the report.


Saludos!
