Finnish Air Force Pilatus PC-12NG

Hi guys, long time no see. I've been training to become a locomotive engineer with Canadian National Railway, so I haven't had much time for painting. I did manage to find something new and interesting to paint, though. I looked at Avsim and didn't see these guys anywhere, so I went ahead and painted them. There's six aircraft in total; all having been delivered this year (I believe); PI-01 through PI-06.

Those look very nice, what model did you use for them?

It's the Alpha India "raked winglet" model.

Good model. That would make a real neat little package.

Not sure if you know this but AIG has a military version of the PC12 also. Don't know which model would most closely match the real plane though.

The U-28A model, which you're speaking of, has various bulges and panels that the real model doesn't have. Here's a pic of the real deal: http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=977756 ...and here's a U-28A. Note the junk behind the cargo door and underneath the fuselage: http://images3.jetphotos.net/img/2/4/5/ ... 068854.jpg

I'm also looking for callsigns for the following squadrons. Right now, I have them all listed as FINNFORCE, but I'm not sure if that is correct. Any help will be appreciated.

Satakunnan Lennosto / HävLLv 21 @ Tampere
Transport Squadron / TukiLLv 1 @ Jyväskylä
Lapin Lennosto / HävLLv 11 @ Rovaniemi
Karjalan Lennosto / HävLLv 31 @ Kuopio

Looks nice Jason!

Are you going to release this with some flightplans or paints only?

[Angry_Anderson]

EDIT

I've made some plans for all six aircraft. I've included some flights to neighboring Sweden and Estonia....just because.

Taxiing for departure at Kuopio (EFKU)

Thanks! I'll be looking out for this one.

I just uploaded it to Avsim; Finnish_AF_PC-12NG.zip
