Exciting news from EHC! After thoughtful discussions among our team, we are thrilled to announce the addition of a second aircraft to our fleet. This isn’t just any plane; we wanted something completely different from a fighter jet to enhance our formation flying skills and focus on energy management. We sought an aircraft that offers a unique flying experience without the sheer power of a fighter.

After careful consideration between the T-45 and the MB339-A, we proudly chose the Italian masterpiece—the Aermacchi MB-339A. What captivated us were its dual smoke capabilities, the option to carry a passenger in each aircraft, and its exceptional flying characteristics. But what truly stood out were its analog features and the exhilarating sensation of flight it provides. Unlike our F-18, which remains our primary jet, this aircraft allows for an incredible slow-motion flying experience that puts visual observation at the forefront of group flying.

We are confident that this new addition will cultivate new skills among our pilots and enrich our repertoire of maneuvers. With great enthusiasm and anticipation, we look forward to working with this remarkable plane—hoping to occasionally invite guests aboard during training sessions or performances.

The Aermacchi MB-339A has been captivating aviators since its production in the 1970s, with this particular version taking flight in 1978. Fast forward 46 years, and our talented artist Spotter has poured his heart into creating stunning original liveries for our acrobatic squadron. He skillfully painted ten planes—nine for our squadron and one for a VIP—working tirelessly to craft a beautiful set of paintings.

Spotter’s attention to detail shines through; each livery contains hidden elements inspired by real-life pilots. While we won’t reveal all the secrets behind these designs, we want to honor Spotter’s incredible work. Thank you so much! If you happen upon any hidden gems within the liveries, don’t hesitate to explore further—you might discover real life elements.
