The Chilean Air Force (FACH) need to update his training structure due the introduction in service of advance fighters (F 16 Block 50 and MLU´s), the force apparently are trying to develop a training scheme like this:

T 35 Pillán (Basic training) - Super Tucano (Advance training) - M 346 (Tactical training) - OCU (F 5 or F 16 Fighter Squadrons)

With this new training structure the T/A 36 Halcón (C -101 BB /CC) of Grupo 1 and OA 37 Dragonflyes of Grupo 12 will be deactivated ...

Cheers!!

Well as you probably know Chile has just acquired Super Tucanos so that structure is looking on the money
