Engine Run hangar adjacent to Service centre

R-2109 Mirage IIIRS is preserved in here in excellent condition and has regular engine runs! This cannot normally be seen as the run pen is completely 'spotter proof' but some of the guys who look after this were in and invited us to take a look in the hangar.

Just seen dep here 14.45LT on ADSB:
IRL282 PC-12 IAC (282)

Is it possible to spot a/c in blue maintenance hangar in weekends? I am only interested in mil Pilatus, so guess only this hangar is an option. Wooden main hall is not possible when no lights on inside...

It is possible, but very very difficult. The aircraft near the doors can often be read off (while still light), bu th ones further in the back will form a problem.

Seen April 22 in service hangar:
Position 15 (most right) PC-9 IAC with s/c tail. No serial on tail; should be 260 which matches with picture on the net.
POS.14 PC-9M 665 Bulgarian AF
ca POS 10 (middle part) 1x red PC-21 swiss AF
Rest seems civil PC-12/24

Pres outside here were:
Mirage 3S J-2313 and PC-24 P01 prototype
On the south side between highway and the PC-24 hangar was a Black PC-7 Seen on pole.

Anyone for the red PC-21?

Seen here at 24 April around 15:00:

PC-12 283 of Ireland, performing eng test runs.

In the service hangar besides the Bulgarian 665 and the red PC-21 were what looks like another at least 2 PC-7's left of it in primer c/s being build.

Position 11- 15 in the hangar had their door windows covered

Hi,

Seen last monday at Stans was a PC-9 from Oman outside doing engine runs. It had a "fake" serial of 648 on it, and should become 431.

Cheers,

That’s not a fake serial, it’s the construction number.
