Rene,

Thanks for the log. Nice one the PC-6 of Mauritania! It was produced in 2012 and delivered that year. Most probably some overhaul, or modifications?
The Saudis are most probably parked in one of the caverns. Deliveries should start soon. Which ones you've seen?

Didn't you see the Qatari PC-21s in production?
Btw the rest of the Saudis is locked away in caverns awaiting delivery.

How do you know about the caverns??Or is this wishful thinking.
One qatari in full coulours, titles and markings and one in production.
