Argentinean aircraft company Fábrica Argentina de Aviones “Brig. San Martin”—better known as FAdeA—received a boost for its new Pampa III advanced trainer late last week when the country’s Cabinet of Ministers finally approved a contract to acquire three of the aircraft for $30.3 million. As well as the aircraft, FAdeA will provide two mobile mission-planning stations, ground control mission-planning systems, and support equipment.
