Swiss Air Force PC-7 aerobatic team

The PC-7 Team is one of the Swiss Air Force's two aerobatic teams, the other being the Patrouille Suisse with its F-5E Tiger IIs. It flies, as its name suggests, the Swiss-built Pilatus PC-7 Turbotrainer, a single-turboprop basic trainer used by the air force for pilot selection and training purposes. The version operated is designated as the NCPC-7, having undergone a major cockpit upgrade in 2008-09. A nine-ship formation is mounted, all the pilots practicing for and performing the team's displays in their spare time - in their 'day jobs', they are front-line F/A-18 Hornet fighter pilots from the Swiss Air Force's three squadrons operating the type.
