On Sunday night a Brazilian air force Embraer EMB-145 ANEW&C landed at the Dubai airshow to make the type’s first appearance outside South America, at the start of Operação Guardião–a demonstration tour that will also take the aircraft to December’s LIMA show in Malaysia. The aircraft flew from Brazil with six stops along the way. It is carrying all the spares needed for this extended deployment, and is accompanied by a sizable contingent from the Brazilian operating unit 2/6 GAv, led by the squadron commander Lt. Col. Barbacovi. Immediately after the show the aircraft will be demonstrated to the United Arab Emirates air force, which is assessing various surveillance options.
