Malaysia likely to boost PC-7 fleet with new order

Seeking to boost its trainer fleet, Malaysia is likely to buy 12 additional Pilatus PC-7 Mk II primary trainers in April 2011 when the country's next five-year plan is released. The Royal Malaysian Air Force operates 17 PC-7 Mk IIs out of an original fleet of 19 and 31 early-model PC-7s.
