HISTORY:

This is first Bandeirante delivered to an airline, PT-TBA, delivered to Trans 
Brasil in 1973. The delivery #1 in its history!  
Trans Brasil started taking delivery of their 1st Bandeirante's in 1973, to use
them in small roues in the South/Center South of Brazil. They operated until
1976 when in conjunct with the government of the state of Bahia, Trans Brasil
and this state governmet formed Nordeste Airlines. The colorful livery was a
caractheristic of Trans Brasil in the 70's. Many colors like pink, yellow, red,
orange, blue and green were seen as Trans Brasil liveries for their BAC-1-11,
Boeing 727-100, Handley Page Herald, and EMB-110 in the 70's.

TRANS BRASIL ANNOUNCES ITS BANDEIRANTE: (1973 ad, integral text)

"Trans Brasil Bandeirante. The Pioneer"

"The Bandeirante is a Brazilian plane, made on the size for Brazil. And Trans
Brasil was the first airline which believed on it and on his pioneer destine.
Today, Trans Brasil Bandeirante, honoring the name which it was baptized by
Embraer, goes opening new routes and linking this enourmous country. You already
can go, 4 times a day from Viracorpos to Rio de Janeiro and vice versa. And you
already can go to Fernando de Noronha Island in a comfortable, fast and nice trip.
But Trans Brasil Bandeirante isn't going to stop there. It is a plane destined
to go very away. Pretty like the country which built it."
"Trans Brasil, thinks on you"

FINAL NOTES: 

This plane is dedicated to the ones who love commuter aviation and remeber the
good old days of pioneerism of our airlines. PT-TBA, was painted in yellow, brown
and orange, as the Bandeirante #1 for delivery. Every time I ask my father of his
old times of flight, it come good images like these planes. My father was one of
the much passengers who flew the Bandeirante's of Trans Brasil and RIO-SUL in the
commuter routes of the south of Brazil in the 70's and early 80's. Who remeber either
the ads of the Bandeirante's? "Mais uma vez, os bandeirantes integrando o paˇs"
"Bandeirante Transbrasil, o pioneiro". These were all good times, which deserve to
be remebered in our Flight Sims. These plane was made of love, the same love
all of us have for the history of Brazilian aviation. Esse aviĆo ‚ pra gente
pessoal! 

Have a nice flight, and happy landings!!
