Historical Background – MB 326K Impala

The MB 326 was designed in Italy by the company Aermacchi as a light trainer and light fighter aircraft. The K version (Impala) was developed specifically for the needs of the South African Air Force, and was also exported to several other countries including Argentina, Dubai, Ghana, Paraguay, and Zambia. Impala aircraft were especially important during the Cold War era, from the late 1960s to the early 21st century. In the South African Air Force, they were widely used for combat support and pilot training, and also took part in border conflicts in southern Africa.
