Pilotasso Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Took these shots at work this week before the plane went to Farnborough. Sorry for the grainy shots (2 megapixel) but this is something Im addressing next week with a new Smartphone camera combo (16 megapixel). :) Edited July 9, 2016 by Pilotasso 2 .

RNeves Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Yep, only a few parts are produced in Portugal, but there was alot more involvement in terms of development from portuguese universities and engineering companies... http://www.jornaldenegocios.pt/empresas/industria/detalhe/kc_390_maior_projecto_aeronautico_portugues_e_apresentado_hoje.html Anyway, can't wait to see it flying here in Portugal... Assuming that Portugal actually acquires any of them....
