Can't wait to see these beauties in Canadian skies next year!

[SkyAlyne @SkyAlyne]

IN PHOTOS: Earlier this month, a major manufacturing milestone took place at the @PilatusAircraft facility: the first @RCAF_ARC CT-157 Siskin II (Pilatus PC-21) got its wings. See the gallery: https://t.co/ZXFvvK6aGn

[Harrison Ruess @HarrisonRuess]

@steffanwatkins @SkyAlyne @steffanwatkins In fact it was just announced a couple days ago that the RCAF has accepted delivery of the first four CT-102Bs, and the 5th should be transferred to the RCAF in the coming days/weeks.

Hope this helps!

@steffanwatkins @SkyAlyne @steffanwatkins Hello again 👋🏻. No guessing required on this topic. As previously explained, the FAcT program aircraft will be DND-owned and registered. This does differ from the Allied Wings approach at the CT-102As. You will not see the RCAF CT-102Bs on the CCAR lists.

[Pilatus Aircraft Ltd @PilatusAircraft]

Another milestone achieved! The first PC-21 fuselage for Canada has officially been joined with it's wing, marking a special moment for everyone involved in this exciting project.

The RCAF is excited to announce the names, designations and liveries of the Future Aircrew Training program aircraft. Stay tuned as we showcase the paint schemes for the future training aircraft of Canada’s Air Force.

[Harrison Ruess @HarrisonRuess]

@steffanwatkins @steffanwatkins factually false. These aircraft will be delivered to, and then owned by, DND.
