Hey Frank, thanks for those, they're stunning photo's! The scenery in the background looks great too!

id say the instructors had a ball flying those! the boys up in baldonnel said they are too fast for a trainer aircraft!!

[Ronan]

why does it say "260" on the side?

Air Corps Serial Number
Check any photo of air corps aircraft.

Is it intentional that the type it replaces is the SF260W? or just a coincidence?

[Frank]

The last aircraft on the register before the first PC-9M was "258", the Learjet. Serial 259 was skipped and the PC-9M's will be starting at 260 more by coincidence than anything else.


Regards,

Frank.

the air corps will probally be the first military organisation to use a pc-9 as a primary trainer. the comment of it being to fast is quite true. the students are going to spend about 50 hours chasing the thing around the sky.

Excellent pics Frank !

How long are student pilots expected to train in the simulator, before a 'real' flight in the PC-9's ?
