After the T-34, students of the Ecole de Pilotage flew the T-37B, of which 14 were delivered in 1996 as replacements for the ageing CM.170s. The aircraft were around 50+ years old and retained the livery of their previous operator, the USAF's 64th FTW at Reese AFB, TX. This one under maintenance had an FY 60 serial, the one behind is ever older (57-304, c/n 40237)

This Hercules was open for inspection of the fitted MAFFS system, which carries up to 2,700 gallons of pressurised fire retardant. It appears that transports of the Force Aérienne Royal Marocaine are gradually loosing the old CNA- prefixes in favour of a more conventional civil-style CN- presentation

While most of the aircraft displayed by Morocco's FAR (Royal Armed Forces) at Aeroexpo had an emphasis on the humanitarian mission, this Gazelle clearly has offensive capability and can launch anti-tank missiles. From the Escadre Hélicoptère at Rabat-Salé. Morocco had 24 and exhibited one in the show halls fully stripped to a shell. Another was placed in the static park by French company Aerotech in "Gazelle Modernisée" guise

For me, easily the highlight of Aeroexpo Marrakech were the daily low-level demonstrations by Herks, the first a tanker with a pair of F-5s, the second a locust sprayer and this one in MAFFS firebomber mode. The view from the show area was straight into the sun and I was determined to find a vantage point on the other side. This involved a challenging trek to a spot beyond the civil terminal but I arrived just in the nick of time and was rewarded by a whole sequence of shots like this

Another good example of the attractive camouflage schemes worn by Moroccan military aircraft, so much nicer to see than the currently ubiquitous grey or olive drab. Italy supplied Morocco with 12 of these licence-built heavylifters, six in 1979 and six in 1982, of which nine are said now to be in operation with the Rabat-Salé based Escadre Hélicoptère

Out on the operational flightline, with Islander CN-TWR (qv) alongside. Traditionally, Moroccan military transports have often carried civil-style registrations but with a CNA- prefix. They are now quite mixed and an example of more conventional presentation was the CN.235 displayed in static at Aeroexpo, CN-AME. Seven were delivered by CASA in 1990

One of 24 Alpha Jets delivered from France in the Eighties which gradually took over from the Fouga Magister fleet, this example is unusual in that it is modified as a rain-maker, named "Al Ghait" accordingly. Weather radar is fitted in the nose with seeding dispensers at the rear
