The Brazilian Air Force has issued a tender to upgrade the avionics on its Embraer T-27 Tucano aircraft. The aircraft are used by the Air Force Academy to train pilots. Although Brazil currently operates 60 of the aircraft, the tender only calls for 50 to be upgraded. It is not clear what will happen to the remaining 10 aircraft.
