Odd choice of types

Why the disparity of manufacturers (apart from EFT which continues to be given no choice but modified white plastic private pilot light aircraft with poor egress options now the EJ seats cannot be fitted).

If you're going to purchase BFT and multi engine trainers surely it is better to source them from the same firm. E.g Beechcraft T6 plus King Air or Embraer Super Tucano plus Phenom?

Back to EFT, the Flight "pocket rocket" article was written by someone employed by Grob who presents their TP sales video so naturally it was positive!

The tried and tested SF260TP has the same Alison 250, 15000h design life, can be painted any colour, has a much clearer canopy and lower coming design, and can carry hard points for fuel/ electronic training pods.

What did the Indian Air Force buy instead of the 120TP?
