Swiss PC-7 in new coat !

Dutch Aviation Support visited Meiringen - march 2007
 
   
 
23rd of mai preceeding the Open Day the weather was quite acceptable for the PC-7.......
..... to see how the plane looks like in it's new coat ! Fine sight with mountains in the background!
 
Here the PC-7 at meiringen 24 march on a rainy, windy, cold Open Day.
 
If the PC-9's will be re-painted was not known. Right the old orange colour of the PC-7
After years having flown in orange, the Swiss military authorities thought it was time for a new colour schedule on the PC-7 trainers. It's obvious why they choose for red & white, the national colours. If the visibility really has improved is the question. Though it shows the lands-colours which feels good to the chauvinists amongst the Swiss. The planes really looks nice, that's a fact !
