Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

PC-21's at Payerne

Post by E. Schoonderwoerd »

I allready posted a topic about the ex-australian tigers at Payerne in which I stated it was a 'slow' day concerning flight activity. What I forgot to mention is a visit (touch and go's) of two PC-21.

According to the official website

they are brand new, and new in service. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, enclosed a couple of pictures. Enjoy.

Nice planes to replace the RNLAF F-16s, due to the delays with the F-35A.
Who needs "stealth" to fight the taliban and its friends.

Ad some rocketpods, gunpods and Mk.82s and you have an nice anti-terrorist fighter plane.

*not serious* Yes very nice, especially when you meet a Sukhoi Flanker in the air or some new russian made anti-air-defense. I think the pilatus would kick its ass. It is also very comparable to a jet fighter. We are also lucky that we only have to fight taliban in the future and that we don't have to do anything else. *not serious*

Nice images. It's hard to judge but maybe you have to decrease you shutterspeed a little bit. By doing this you get more prop-blur. Anyway it's a nice aircraft.

Hi,

I wonder if our airforce has plans to replace the PC-7's with this new one. There was a PC-21 at our air show last year.

cheers,

I recall reading about a possible deal for PC-21's, don't know if it was to replace the PC-7 or an addition. But I think I read that indeed that was the reason a PC-21 visited the Open Days..
