[JJD]

Hi Guys,

Some Pilatus PC-21's from the Pilotenschule will visit Valley for training in this period

Go and get them!

Interestingly the RSAF are receiving the PC21 along with the hawk Mk165 and their pilots are going thro training at Valley (plus coningsby on typhoons) at the moment
I wonder if its connected with this or a RAF/training provider evaluation for future ops with this type from Valley (as already rumoured?)

I've been to Ayrshire many times and I assure you it is not full of "amazing scenery" !

[Skoshi]

Any more news on this one? cant find any other reference on net (Scramble SiS has nothing either) bar the original article and quite fancy the 8hr round trip if this is defo going ahead (apart from op/weather reasons of course).

Evening, just to say that I'm pretty sure this is going ahead! All us aircrew at Valley have been briefed this week on their imminent arrival.

Cheers,

I Have on SBSand FR24 in Mildenhall and they are plotting:-

A-102 (4B7FAD) SUI11
A-104 (4B7FAB) SUI22
A-106 (4B7FA9) SUI33
A-107 (4B7F5B) SUI44

I Suppose they may be flights of two as same callsign but different aircraft.

Also I read in an earlier post from tombsrip about the RAF evaluating PC21, This is not

so as the Accent group have chosen T-6 TEXAN II, They will also get Grob120TP and Embraer Phenoms

that is why they were parked together at RIAT15.

A-104 (4B7FAB) SUI22
A-106 (4B7FA9) SUI33
A-107 (4B7F5B) SUI44

There should be 7 in total. 3 flights of 2 and a singleton bringing up the rear.

[arch]

From mil-spotters only 7 aircraft so A-108 is the one not coming.

[arch]

A-101 and A-102 SUI11

A-103 and A-104 SUI22

A-105 and A-106 SUI33

A-107 SUI44
