 Angola: SAAF Bushwacks Six Helicopters
The Angolan Air Force was — especially for African circumstances — a modern, battle-proven and actually a self-sufficient force, with 7.000 personnel and some 180 aircraft and helicopters, organized in six regiments, of which three were to participate in the operation, including two equipped with fighter-bombers and one with combat helicopters.
The SAAF commanders determined that the most suitable aircraft at hand was the Impala: it was a small and highly manoeuvrable aircraft, with good and reliable cannon armament and the endurance needed for an intercept of this kind.
SAAF Impalas were camouflaged in the standard Dark Earth and Dark Olive Green colours used also on SAAF SA.316 Alouette III and SA.330 Puma helicopters, as well as some other aircraft.
