A story on Flight Global attracts attention. Hard on the heels of Embraer's success at launching its e-jets and rising interest in its VLJ line, the company appears to be looking further afield.
Many have dreamed of building a better tactical airlifter than the C130. So of course we asked Embraer about this. The response is interesting "I just checked with Brazil and that interview was given during a stop in Paris. What he said in the interview is all we can say at this point." Note the interview was from last year. The interviewee, Mauricio Botelho, is on his way out.
So where is the story here? Seems like there isn't one. Not that Lockheed was worried in the first place.
