The Iraqi AF was among the first customer of the PC-9 and ordered 20 airframes around 1986, with deliveries starting in 1987. The assigned construction numbers were 144 through 163, while the serials were 5801 through 5820. The airframe pictured here in this stunning three tone camo taxies out from the Pilatus factory for a pre-delivery testflight. Already carrying the external fuel tanks needed for the ferry flight, it became 5818 / ٥٨١٨ in Iraqi service. Fate is not exactly known but it was probably rather short lived, as most Iraqi AF assets were destroyed during the 1st Gulf War in 1991.
