Interesting (but not surprising) decision on the Sao Paulo. Thanks for posting Spaz. Likely the end of South American carriers for the foreseeable future. I don't see any new build or surplus cat and trap carriers coming on the market, perhaps a STOBAR carrier but no one really would want those after the poor showing in the med this year would they? Any surplus or new build STOVL carrier would require the air wing to go with it , leaving second hand Harrier II's or the too expensive F-35B.
