PC-21 s/n. A-101 + to Switzerland

did you take any photos of the pilatus aircraft ?

[Sleegertje]

Isn't the HB-HYD the A-104 for the Swiss Air Force.

[Patrick Moonen]

HB-HYD is not a PC.21

They have at this moment :
HB-HZA, HB-HZB, HB-HZC (crashed), HB-HZD.
HB-HYA (A-101), HB-HYB (A-102), A-103, A-104, A-105, A-106.
9101 t/m 9106.
9107 t/m 9119 didn't have there first flight yet.

HB-HYD is not a PC.21

HB-HYD is very much a PC-21 (cn 116) probably (as in not sure) to become A-104 (as mentioned by Rene). PC-21 HB-HYC (cn115) is on the Swiss register (to become A-103 I guess)
Edit: I see also A-104 was mentioned in the log (any one for a cn?) so I guess we will have to wait and see were cn 115 and 116 end up.

HB-FND

Is a factory new PC-6/B2-H4 (cn 959), could not imagine it will have a mil future but who knows

N7995D

Is an old (1999) PC-6/B2-H4 (cn 931) probably in for service No military past

Hope that helps, Michael

Hi,

I will check pictures again (took pictures of every a/c logged).
The 9107 was outside on march 6th. Also have pictures of this one.

Regards,
Oscar

[Patrick Moonen]

A-103 has c/n 105 and A-104 106. It is possible they are on the swiss register as HB-HYC and HB-HYD but the civil numbers are not on the aircraft (anymore). Saw the A-103 myself last month and have photoproof.

c/n 115 & 116 will probably become 9107 & 9108 but this needs confomation.

Patrick.

[vanderveen]

PC-21 c/n. 115 and 116 are now HB-HYC and HB-HYD resp., it may indicate that these two PC-21's are going to be used for an demonstration somewhere in the world.
Another option is that these two aircraft are going to be delivered to Singapore on its own power.

Any photos of these aircraft on the internet somewhere ?
Or mail me off-group, please

Hendrik van der Veen

Oscar,
didn't you check the colourscheme, so you now if it will be Singapore AF or Swiss AF?

Regards, Rene

[Oscar01]

Hi,

I can (and will) do that this weekend. Today and tomorrow not possible (due to work). I will put it behind the numbers in the first post of this topic then.

For sure I know the SingAF (I liked them the most ) and of course the FAF I know for sure....

Regards,
Oscar
