Photo Comment

A total of 12 CN-295M were delivered new to the Brazilian AF between 2006 and 2009, of which "2800" (of the "ARARA" squadron) shown here was the first one. Desginated the C-105A "Amazonas" in Brazilian service, 11 remain in service with either the 1°/9°GAv "Arara" squadron at Manaus-Ponta Pelada or the 1°/15°GAv "Onca" squadron at Campo Grande. "2808" was written off after a landing accident at Surucucu (SWUQ) on February 27, 2016. An additional three SC-105 Amazonas (C-295MPA), specialized for SAR flights, joined the fleet between 2016 and 2020 (serialled 6550, 6551 & 6552).
