Even more inaccuracies! I suspect the writers only looked at a few screenshots that circulated a day ago and did not look at the entire presentation, which provided a more accurate figure. It coincides with what I've been saying all along.
Errors? Here are one or two:
/1 Total fleet numbers incorrect (always double check sources!) There are a lot more than 6 aircraft flying.
Just yesterday I posted pics of 3 A109 and an Oryx flying.
1 Oryx in DRC (+ another unserviceable), two Oryx were flown to Entebbe. There are ~5 Oryx serviceable.
