In 2004, the Swiss AF became launch customer for the PC-21, and initially ordered six units (serials A-101 through A-106), which for the first few years carried this special red / white livery, before they received an almost complete red paint scheme with only a thin white cheatline. In December of 2010, an additional two PC-21 were ordered, they became A-107 (c/n 153) and A-108 (c/n 154). Pictured here is the first Swiss AF PC-21, still carrying it's civilian test registration HB-HYA before entering service as A-101 with the pilot school at Emmen AB.
