PC-21 to enter Swiss service this month

Switzerland's selection of six PC-21s (first example pictured above) represented the first success for the new model. Assembly is now complete, and the air force has almost finished training syllabus development and qualified flying instructor conversion work at Pilatus's Stans production facility near Lucerne. Operations will shift next month to support training activities from the service's Emmen and Sion air bases.
