The Aermacchi MB326M Impala is a versatile trainer and light attack aircraft which has seen service in Australia, Bolivia, Italy, Togo, Tunisia and many other countries. Our aircraft came from South Africa and were built there by Atlas Aircraft under license. With three universal hardpoints under each wing, the Impala can carry up to 4,000 lbs of stores. This makes the aircraft ideal for both captive-carriage and air drop of developmental weapons and sensor packages. With a maximum speed of 539 mph and a max ceiling of 47,000 feet, the Impala is an economical choice for when supersonic performance isn't required in the test program.
