The Colombian Air Force (FAC) has announced the acquisition of the Beechcraft (Textron Aviation) T-6C Texan-II turbo-propeller trainer aircraft as part of its plan to modernize its aerial platforms. For these purposes, a total of six units would have been acquired that would arrive in the country between March 2021 and 2022, thus initiating the replacement of the current Cessna T-37B Tweet trainers.
The T-6Cs will be deployed through Combat Squadron 116. This aircraft has been offered to the Air Force since 2012, having finally been acquired by decision of the current FAC command.
