It just rolled out of it is Manufacturing facilities in Switzerland, it is customary to paint the aircraft with the Nation's flag prior to delivery after a delivery ceremony of a sort.

This is not training, it is flight testing. Please read the full article.

Mosmania told it correctly

That was the first Pilatus PC 7 for the Indian air force and it is in the customary colours.

And one batch is trained always in the main country as the aircraft systems are new.

I still wish that Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan and Oman will do JV with EU or USA over the development of:
Basic, Intermediate and Advance Trainers as well as on Electrical and Electronics along with Chemical and Material science that can help them.

The RSAF is working as hard as they possibly could. Hopefully, in near future, this will come true, but with our friend and ally Pakistan
