| Designed by Ermanno Bazzocchi and first flown on 10 December 1957, the Aermacchi MB.326 light attack and training aircraft was one of the most
effective examples of its type ever built and was produced in many different variants, depending on the customer's requirements. The potential of the basic MB.326 as a
light ground-attack aircraft was first realised in the 326A, which was fitted with underwing hardpoints. The MB.326G variant was fitted with a more powerful Viper 20 engine. The most important version was the MB.326K single-seater of 1970, which was used in the advanced and close support roles.

Astrogildo Nodari, e-mail, 12.01.2011 04:51 Airmach 326 foi produzido pela Embraer, no Brasil, sob licen�a da italiana Aeromachi. Voei esse avi�o, explorei e extrapolei todos os seus limites de desempenho previstos pelo fabricante e aprovados pelos �rg�os homologadores. Tenho o record mundial de altitude num desses avi�es, em janeiro de 1975, no rota do Rio de janeiro para An�polis, subi at� 53 mil p�s de altitude QNH. Noutra ocasi�o voei sem pouso intermedi�rio, desde Santa Maria /RS at� Caravelas /Ba. Fui reconhecido pela Embraer e pelo Ministro da AEron�utica quando completei o pouso da mil�sima hora de v�o nessa aeronave, em 1981, Santa Maria /RS. reply |
