Talk:Basler BT-67

USAF Usage?

I've not been able to find that there is any usage of the BT-67 in the USAF. Am I wrong, and simply not looking in the right places? If no one can find a citation for it, I'm taking it off.

The USAF has a single BT-67 (in the Gunship configuration) assigned to the 6th Special Operations Squadron (6 SOS), at Hurlburt Field, FL. The 6 SOS "is a combat aviation advisory unit. Its mission is to assess, train, advise and assist foreign aviation forces in airpower employment, sustainment and force integration."

A suitable citation would be the Official USAF Fact Sheet for the 6 SOS (quoted above) which can be found at [1]. The reference to the BT-67 is in a paragraph about half-way down the page that says:

"The unit was upgraded to squadron status in October 1994 to reflect its growth in mission and personnel. The squadron received its first two aircraft, UH-1N Hueys, on Oct. 11, 1996, and marked its first flight in 27 years on Dec. 20, 1996. Advisors are tactically qualified in a variety of aircraft, including the Russian An-2, An-26, and An-32 transport aircraft, the Russian Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters, the Spanish CASA 212 transport, the Chinese Y-12 transport, the French AS-332 Super Puma, the Canadian DHC-6 Twin Otter, the Basler BT-67, all models of the US Huey helicopter and several USAF C-130 variants." (emphasis added)

Gunship version

Both Salvadorian and Colombian Air forces seem to be operating the gunship version - AC-47TP Fantasma - at least according to their websites. I'm not sure how actual these sites are, though.-2A00:1028:83BE:4392:E427:946D:6F76:74C3 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:11, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 4 September 2019

This page substancially oversells this aircraft use. The DC-3 was flown by the USA, El Salvador and Guatemala and those are the only sources provided. These countries have not paid for the BT-67 modifications and this article seems to suggest otherwise. LaCheeseWhiz (talk) 17:44, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 20:09, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Deal with Douglas/Boeing?

Is Basler allowed to produce fresh airframes if not enough inventory of DC3/C47 is available on the open market? knoodelhed (talk) 19:47, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Probably not, unless they own the production type certificates. BilCat (talk) 20:12, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
