Air Force
The Malawi Air Force was established with German help in 1976 with the delivery of six single engined Dornier Do 27's and eight Do 28 light twins in 1976-1980. Also in the same era the air force received an Alouette III, an AS 350 and an AS 355 Ecureuil, as well as three SA 330 H/L Puma Helicopters from France. A single BAE 125-800 was delivered in 1986. Four Dornier Do 228 light twin turbo props were acquired between 1986 and 1989 in part to dispose of the older Dornier products. In 1990 two Douglas C-47's and PT6A turboprops were delivered from the US.
