I'm not sure that RSW are getting 84 aircraft as there are 48 going from Linton and 23 from Shawbury of which 4 may go elsewhere ? There appears to have been around 36 Tucanos sold in the 'States when the first batch went around 2007-2009 of which some are presently for sale and showing very low flying hours compared to those going from Linton but I suspect the Shawbury aircraft will also have low flying hours too ?
For sale in the 'States ; https://www.controller.com/listings/...ullText=Tucano
