Thanks for the nice log Charles! This way I'm able to guess what would be the best moment to visit Pilatus again. Interesting to see the 2201 and 2202 have emerged. Any information on their c/ns?

BR,
Jeroen

[falcx]

Sorry Jeroen,

Both aircraft were obscured by other stuff. I couldn't find a right spot to view this.
But I haven't seen any other report with Saudi's above 922 (c/n 176) noted by myself
in January.

Charles

That's the same conclusion I've made also. 922 was put into the storage Caverne if I'm right. A bit strange that the new 2201 was in the shed and not put into storage also.
