The IA-63A is a simple yet
effective trainer with good export prospects. Argentina ordered 100 and,
in partnership with LTV, the type was also offered for the US Air
Force/US Navy Joint Primary Aircraft Training System requirement. Though
not the first Argentine jet powered aircraft the IA-63A Pampa was the
first to enter production. Deliveries of the IA-63A to the Argentina air
force began in may 1988. |
