Chilean Navy and UAE Air Force PC-7 added

We’ve added two new PC-7’s to our site. First up is the Chilean trainer with s/n 211. The Pilatus is still in active service with the Chilean Navy today. The second one is the United Arab Air Force’s 917. Although seven are in active service today with the UAEAF, it’s going to be outnumbered by the newer PC-21 for which deliveries started 2010.

The book details the creation of the US Navy Top Gun school, made famous by the movie staring Tom Cruise but more importantly the F-14 Tomcat.

Major update: PC-7 added to profiles page

We’re delighted to report that we’ve added a new section to our profiles page! It features the PC-7 Pilatus training aircraft. The Swiss-manufactured PC-7 is a turbo prop, tandem seat plane utilized by many nations around the world. As a starter, we’ve added two RNLAF trainers and we’ll be adding more from different nations in the upcoming weeks. For now, enjoy these two beauts!

Italian and German update

I am back from vacation with a new update of the profile section;

First is a Luftwaffe special, 2036 painted in a special paintscheme for the retirement of the F-104 from JBG-32.

If you built scale models in the 90’s you very likely built a Revell 1/32 version of this one! The quite well known cat and mouse paintscheme was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 51st Stormo.

This machine was painted in the Bugatti colours for the occasion of a race against a motorcycle of the firm, the end result was a 1 – 1 draw!

Spillone!
