Hi all,

A visit on 16 August produced the first two Jordanian PC-21s on the production line. A full log (military related only):

Hall 10 (maintenance):
PC-7 HB-HMX civil, ex Botswana Defence Force (OD-1)
PC-7 (L-01) 131 (EMVO) sqn
PC-12 020 16.TrAB
PC-21 A-106 Pilotenschule
The Dutch PC-7 was identified based on its black/yellow colours.

Flight Test Hangar:
PC-21 HB-HZC Pilatus

Wooden Hangar:
PC-21 A54-001 (HB-HWA) for RAAF
PC-21 A54-002 HB-HWB for RAAF
PC-21 (A54-003) (HB-HWC) for RAAF

PC-21 Final Assembly Line:
PC-21 A54-004 for RAAF
PC-21 c/n 238 for RAAF, in primer c/s
PC-21 c/n 239 for RAAF, in primer c/s
PC-21 1170 for RJAF
PC-21 c/n 284 for RJAF, in primer c/s
The construction numbers were read on the paperwork attached to the aircraft. The RAAF a/c have white papers with the c/n written on them, while the RJAF a/c have blue papers. PC-21 1170 was already painted in full RJAF colours, and it is believed to be c/n 283. This was however not read but based on the known RAAF examples and the fact that Australia purchased 49 a/c, 283 should be the first Jordanian one. Reading c/n 284 on one of the primer a/c seems to confirm this.

I also wrote down Armasuisse PC-6/B1-H2 HB-FCF in the wooden hangar, plus noted overflying were PC-7 A-938 and AS332M1 T-313.
For the record, PC-24 HB-VXA (P01) was also present and performed a test flight in the afternoon.

Noted the following PC-21's last Monday (September 26th) at the Pilatus plant;

(A54-0)01 HB-HWA RAAF Wooden Hall
(A54-0)02 HB-HWB RAAF Wooden Hall
(A54-0)03 HB-HWC RAAF Wooden Hall
(A54-0)04 HB-HWD RAAF Wooden Hall
(A54-0)05 RAAF Assembly line
1170 Jor.AF Wooden Hall
(1171) Jor.AF Assembly line

Full serials of the Aussies in the Wooden Hall have now been completely (stickered) over and only the last two can be read on the nose. The RJAF PC-21 had it's full serial.

Spotting here as taking good photo's is getting harder with the new PC-21 assembly hall been built.

Regards,
Charles
