Pilatus PC-7 Basic Trainer Aircraft Of The Indian Air Force [IAF] [Photographs]

112 of these Swiss-built aircrafts would eventually be in service with the Indian Air Force [IAF], serving as the Stage-I aircraft to train its cadets, replacing the current HPT-32 Deepak aircraft.

These hi-res pictures were taken at Switzerland's Buochs Airport in January, prior to its departure for India. They, subsequently, took part in the IAF's 'Iron Fist 2013' aerial exercise.
