Tucano ZF145, seen at the RAF Finningley air display, 15th September 1990. This was the 7FTS display aircraft, as can be seen by the blue fuselage stripe, "7FTS" markings above the exhausts, the display pilot's name near the cockpit, and the large Toucan logo on the tail. This aircraft is now part of the 1FTS fleet based at RAF Linton-on-Ouse, and is now in the standard gloss black training scheme common to almost all Tucanos these days. |
