Photos & Videos of Lebanese AF A-29 Super Tucano on Training Flights at Moody AFB

A YouTube channel has been releasing videos from all around Moody AFB. Along side, the channel seems affiliated with a Flicker account that is also showing photos from there. On their latest are some photos & videos showing Lebanese Air Force A-29 Super Tucano on training sorties.

The Lebanese Air Force pilots commenced their training at Moody AFB earlier this year. Photos from US AF showed a Lebanese pilot on an A-29 identified by Construction Number 15-2022. Moreover, Embraer confirmed delivering 2 Lebanese A-29 to USAF in their Q1 2017 results; but seems the number might be 4 by now. 

There are much more photos on the Flicker account, also the YouTube channel has multiple videos, but here are few photos & videos showing Lebanese A-29 identified by Construction Numbers 15-2021, 15-2022, and 15-2024. Check the links below to access the remaining media.

Looking forward to seeing these aircraft flying in Lebanon's sky.

First training sortie for Lebanese pilot onboard of A-29 Super Tucano at Moody AFB

The first Lebanese Air Force pilot conducted the first flight on-board of an A-29 Super Tucano at Moody AFB on March 22, 2017. This is considered a milestone toward acquiring the A-29s.
Moody AFB was chosen (ref) to host the training of the 12 Lebanese pilots and 22 maintenance staff which started earlier in February 2017 and is expected to end in 2018.

The photos by the US Air Force show an A-29 Super Tucano identified with Construction Number 15-2022 and does not feature a FLIR. It is not clear whether the FLIR will be installed at a later stage given that all Lebanese A-29 is are expected to feature this.
