Exhibit 99.1


Tactical Air Defense Services’ Super Tucano Aircraft on Contract at Oshkosh Air Show


Carson City, NV- July 27, 2012 - Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc. (OTCQB: TADF), an Aerospace/Defense Services contractor that offers tactical aviation services, aircraft maintenance, and other Aerospace/Defense services to the United States and Foreign militaries and agencies, is pleased to announce that the Embraer Super Tucano aircraft (the “Super Tucano”) in which it has an interest through a Services Agreement with Tactical Air Support, Inc., is currently on contract at the Oshkosh Air Show.


The Super Tucano has been contracted to support Embraer, the Brazilian manufacturer of the Super Tucano, in order to showcase its aircraft to both U.S. and foreign militaries. Embraer’s Super Tucano was recently selected by the USAF for its Light Air Support program to provide light attack, armed reconnaissance, and training capabilities to the Afghanistan military, as well as provide the U.S. and other partner nations with critical capabilities for agile, flexible, economical, new generation multi-role airpower.  Due to a formal protest by Hawker Beechcraft, which was also contending for the award of the USAF contract, the award to the Super Tucano was cancelled, and the bidding process has been restarted and is expected to be awarded by January.


The TADF/Tac-Air Super Tucano is the only one of its kind offered in the U.S. through a commercial Aerospace/Defense services contractor, and is a specialty military aircraft renowned for its capabilities in counter-insurgency and air-to-ground bombing.


Alexis C. Korybut, Chief Executive Officer of TADF, stated, “We are pleased that the Super Tucano is again on contract after the scheduled maintenance delay, and that it was selected by its manufacturer, Embraer, to represent it at the renowned Oshkosh Air Show.  We believe that the attention received by the Super Tucano from both the press corps and visiting military representatives will only further enhance the demand for this unique military aircraft.”
