I am looking for confirmation that two or three Pilatus PC-7 were once in service with the Surinam Air Force, between 1986 and 1997.
Two PC-7’s were reported on a delivery flight October 22, 1986, flying from Bern – Stansted – Prestwick – Stornoway en route to the USA. Both returned March 11, 1987 via Reykjavik – Prestwick – Bern.
These two might have been delivered later in 1987 as air-cargo to Surinam, but can someone confirm this.
Does someone have pictures of both PC-7s in Surinam colours or while en-route during their fuelstops in October 1986 or March 1987.
PC-7’s involved are believed to be:
PC-7 s/n. 479 HB-HMN
PC-7 s/n. 481 HB-HMQ
and also
PC-7 s/n. 480 HB-HMP
Or were the PC-7’s never in service with the Surinam Air Force ?
