The main training aircraft operated by RSAF are the basic Mushak Trainer from Pakistan and the PC-9 built by Pilatus in Switzerland..Both aircraft are being replaced within 2 years in total by the order of 55 PC-21 to replace the PC-9 and 25 Cirrus SR22T which have already been delivered and will eventually phase out all the Pakistan AF Mushak,s of which 20 are in operation.
To determin the new scheme for the PC-21,yours truly was tasked to re-paint 2 PC-9,s into first a overall deep Blue scheme with various stripes in 3 colours and a Light Green in the same scheme.After various flight sorties and inspections by senior RSAF Officers ,the blue was excepted as the future colour scheme for the new PC-21.The first 3 are arriving in early June followed by 3 every month over a 2 year period.
