Isn't the HB-HYD the A-104 for the Swiss Air Force.

HB-HYD is very much a PC-21 (cn 116) probably (as in not sure) to become A-104 (as mentioned by Rene). PC-21 HB-HYC (cn115) is on the Swiss register (to become A-103 I guess)
Edit: I see also A-104 was mentioned in the log (any one for a cn?) so I guess we will have to wait and see were cn 115 and 116 end up.

Is a factory new PC-6/B2-H4 (cn 959), could not imagine it will have a mil future but who knows

Is an old (1999) PC-6/B2-H4 (cn 931) probably in for service :?: No military past :!:

Hope that helps, Michael

A-103 has c/n 105 and A-104 106. It is possible they are on the swiss register as HB-HYC and HB-HYD but the civil numbers are not on the aircraft (anymore). Saw the A-103 myself last month and have photoproof.

c/n 115 & 116 will probably become 9107 & 9108 but this needs confomation.

PC-21 c/n. 115 and 116 are now HB-HYC and HB-HYD resp., it may indicate that these two PC-21's are going to be used for an demonstration somewhere in the world.
Another option is that these two aircraft are going to be delivered to Singapore on its own power.

Any photos of these aircraft on the internet somewhere ?
Or mail me off-group, please

Hi,

I can (and will) do that this weekend. Today and tomorrow not possible (due to work). I will put it behind the numbers in the first post of this topic then.

For sure I know the SingAF (I liked them the most :lol: ) and of course the FAF I know for sure....
