Aermacchi MB-326 Middle Eastern Users

Today we bring you the history of the Aermacchi MB-326 serving with the Dubai Defence Force Air Wing first and the United Arab Emirates Air Force later.
The, back then, independent state of Dubai, bought three of them in 1974 to equip their Defence Force Air Wing with a further three of them in 1978. They were MB-326KD which was basically a version of the MB-326K. They also bought some MB-326LD which was a training version of the MB-326KD. Them all were passed on to United Arab Emirates Air Force in 1999 when the Dubai Defence Force Air Wing was disbanded. They still remain in active service today.
