Who would have thought Embraer would go on and build the E120, ERJ135/145 and the ERJ170/190.
The Bandit was only the very successful "tip of the iceberg" seen in Australia. Embraer started life building Piper aircraft under license. By the time the Bandit arrived in Australia, they had produced a number of Piper aircraft plus a range of Embraer aircraft that never came to Australia. One interesting aircraft was a military variant Bandeirante with wing tip tanks and a MTOW around 14,000 pounds, another Bandit derivative was a shortened, pressurised executive aircraft.

In the mid 1970s Embraer were already well down the track with their EMB120 design philosophy and the stretched, jet derivatives, the EMB135, 154 etc.
