MSFS Embraer EMB 110 "Bandeirante"

The Bandeirante was the first aircraft of the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer, which sold well outside of Brazil in significant numbers. A regional commercial aircraft without pressurized cabin and powered by PTL engines, it certainly fulfils a number of roles. Even today, they are quite useful as cargoes, fire-fighting aircraft and in military roles.

I cannot say anything about the manufacturer of the model ... But since it is in a sense a historically valuable aircraft, I am interested.

Yes many of these flew around NZ skies for Eagle Airways based out of Hamilton.

Up to 4 of them ended up with Air Rarotonga.

A lot of NZ pilots "cut their teeth" on this mini airliner.

Looks OK based on the screenies, I'm also interested, esp as we never really had a decent Banderirante in the past for FSX/FS9 etc.
I see there's even an Air NZ Link blue skin out of the box, bonus !!!
