    I used to fly a Bandeirante. Wonder what the "modernizing" consist of?

    According to Google Translate from the link above...

    Prepared by the Brazilian Air Force and executed by Embraer and other companies associated with the project, the modernization process includes altogether 50 cells, 42 copies of the C-95 Bandeirante model (dedicated to transport missions) and 08 P-95 Bandeirante version patrol, all of the P-95B model. The main common changes to the two versions are the adoption of a panel of digital instruments with multifunction displays within the concept called "glass cockpit" and to replace the analog stick, new communication system and a complete revitalization and reinforcement of the structure aircraft. In the specific case of P-95 in addition to these improvements, the inclusion of a new search radar, SeaSpray 5000E, capable of detecting large ships up to 370 miles away and the incorporation of a new navigation system and sensors dedicated to the maritime patrol mission, bringing the aircraft to the standard P-95BM. In addition to the new paint in a similar shade of gray when used by P-3AM Orion, which draws the most attention outside the P-95BM is the presence of the bubble-shaped window, which facilitates the observers' work on search missions sea ​​or land.
    'Replace the analog stick" is a mistranslation as they were replacing the analog panel, not the control system.
