The Clone Air Force has made a rare foray into importing aircraft with an order for 35 Cherrybee CBH-90 helicopters, a type also operated by the DDS and UNP. The helicopters, to be known as the Z90 Cherry in CAF service, will perform in the liaison and reconnaissance roles in areas where the larger Z26 Halogen is considered overkill.
It is likely more CBH-90s will be ordered once the initial batch is delivered as the Clones have a requirement for several hundred of the type. The CAF is currently exploring licence build options. The first Cherrys are expected to be delivered later this year.
