Spanish Air Force PC-21 Delivered

The Spanish Air and Space Force's test and experimentation centre, CLAEX, received two Pilatus PC-21 aircraft in early February 2026, Infodefensa reported. Delivered under Phase II of the PC-21 programme and fitted with flight-test instrumentation, they will serve mainly as chase aircraft in test campaigns for other air systems, complementing the veteran C-101s the centre still flies for the task, and will support test pilot and flight test engineer training. The rest of the fleet serves with the General Air Academy.
