The Austrian PC-7 Turbo Trainer returns to NATO Days

Visitors to this year's NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days can again look forward to a dynamic demonstration of the training aircraft PC-7 of the Austrian Air Force. Austria also becomes the fifth foreign participant.

Since its premiere in 2010, Austria has not missed a single NATO Days, and will not miss it even this year when it will present its PC-7 training aircraft for the third time. Visitors can look forward to the impressive aerobatics of this machine.

"Thanks to excellent bilateral relations with the Czech Republic, Austria presents its military capabilities at our event regularly, and as a non-NATO country contributes to the presentation of the North Atlantic Alliance partnership," recalls Zbyněk Pavlačík, chairman of Jagello 2000. "Austria will send two aircraft, one for the dynamic demonstration and one as a spare, but it could be placed on the static display. If so, visitors will have the opportunity to compare both PC-7s and their successors PC-9, presented by Slovenia, in both forms."

The training aircraft PC-7 Turbo Trainer comes from the production of the Swiss company Pilatus Aircraft. The PC-7 is being used for pilot training in the Austrian Air Force since 1983. It can also be deployed as a patrol aircraft and can be equipped with machine guns and missiles. Thanks to this, it also played the role of a light combat aircraft, especially in African and Central American anti-insurgency operations.
