Ex-BDF aircraft to land in Congo-Brazzaville

According to Air International Magazine, the aircraft was spotted undergoing a test flight at Lanseria International Airport in Johannesburg earlier this year. The authoritative aviation publication adds that the aircraft will soon be delivered to the Congolese Air Force.

This is one of two ex-Botswana Defence Force Air Wing CN235s, which were retired after being replaced by new production CN235M-300s from December 2009. The Togolese Air Force bought other ex-BDF CN 235 last year from a company that bought them from the BDF, reports which were confirmed by BDF in an interview in September last year.
