Pilatus Aircraft belatedly acknowledged Australia’s choice last September of the PC-21 for basic and advanced flight training. Together with Hawker Pacific, the Swiss company was part of the Lockheed Martin-led team that won a 25-year contract for a full training service, including simulators and tuition. The other contender for the project was BAE Systems with partners CAE and Beechcraft, which would have provided the latter’s T-6C Texan II.
