Oborožene sile Angole (FAA) so 1. februarja razkrile, da so kupile pomožno letalo kodiak 100, ki je bilo spremenjeno v nadzorno letalo, ko so objavile videoposnetek, v katerem poudarjajo vlogo žensk v posadki.

Angola’s National Air Force (FAN) already had one Kodiak 100 that was unveiled in May 2021, when the FAA’s official magazine reported that the aircraft had been equipped to carry out cartographic surveys to produce digital maps for the Ministry of Interior’s Integrated Public Security Center (CISP). The aircraft was described as the first in a planned fleet of six that would be operated by the FAN’s new Special Air Patrol and Surveillance Unit.

This aircraft was previously photographed in Germany with the FAN serial R-756 and the temporary registration D-FSST. The German company SST Flugtechnik has photographs of D-FSST on its website to illustrate a project that involved installing a stabilised cartography scanner above a sliding hatch in the floor of the aircraft’s cabin.
