Jan-Pieter,

Could you confirm if the Spanish PC-21's were complete frames or just fuselages?

Kind Regards.

Jan-Pieter,

Kind Regards.
The 27 was in front close to the windows and sideways parked with wings. This a/c was partly blocking the sight on the other four that are parked in the back facing nose on. Also low racks are blocking the sight in the back.
But by walking around the fence we could see them and as far as I remember the 28, 29 and 31 had wings as well. All 5 were in the Spanish c/s.
It looks that what they did previously in the Weisshorn halle is now done in the maintenance hangar. Not sure where they do the so-called final assembly that was done in the wooden hall. Could not see any PC-21 in Weisshorn halle and the wooden hall. Also not in the old production hall (Jungfrau).
Up till now only the first one (25) is in the civil register (HB-HWB). It did engine running last week but still not a test flight yet.

Noted on Monday 20 January 2025 early in the evening was:

In the blue PC-21 final assembly hangar (which formally was the overhaul hangar): Fully marked Spanish E.27-27, 28, 29, 31.
Behind that hangar was a fuselage section of an Omani PC-9.

Over on the other side of the airfield in what nowadays seems to the the overhaul hangar:
Irish PC-9 266 plus another one with markings taped over (should be 261 according to earlier posts).
Swiss PC-7 A-932 and A-941.
An unidentified primer PC-7/9 fuselage on the extreme left hand side of this hangar. Any help with this one ist highly appreciated.

All other hangars on the factory and airfield side contained PC-12's and PC-24's. Either new build ones or on overhaul.

Regards, Woelfie
