In early 2008, the Swiss AF started to get its first PC-21's of which six units (serials A-101 through A-106) were initially ordered. A-103 is seen here wearing the original red / white livery, which was later traded for an overall red paint scheme with just a thin white cheatline. In December of 2010, two additional PC-21's were ordered, which became A-107 (c/n 153) and A-108 (c/n 154). The 1st and so far only mishap the Swiss AF encountered with a PC-21 occured on November 28, 2023, when A-105 (c/n 107) suffered a landing accident at Emmen AB, with both pilots ejecting safely.
