An example of profile images of aircraft. Here the Pilatus PC-9 advanced trainer is shown in its many guises. In the top print, it is placed below a CAC Boomerang - the Milingimbi Ghost - as a tribute to No 4 Squadron, RAAF. No 4 Squadron is credited with being the first squadron to use dedicated 'fast FAC' aircraft during the New Guinea campaign of WW2 where instead of slow, often obsolete aircraft conducting spotting for artillery, the squadron used the Boomerang fighter to mark targets using tracer rounds and later, white phosperous bombs. This tactic became the standard technique for the next three decades of FAC work in allied air forces.

In the bottom image, the RAAF's various PC-9 configurations are shown. From top to bottom, they are:

1. Roulettes aerobatic team;

2. Early FAC scheme with light grey livery;

3. Later FAC scheme with darker grey livery;

4. 2 Flying Training School orange/white scheme; and

5. Former Chief of Air Force personal aircraft.

Other schemes that are available are ARDU and red/white 2 FTS scheme.

 

These aircraft can be personalised to order with different tail numbers applied and text added as well as badges, crests, etc. Perfect for presentations, gifts or mementos.  Contact the artist for details. Prices start at $66.00 ea for personalised prints. Less for bulk orders.
