I was wondering if you have any information
about the Royal Saudi Air Force Pilatus PC-9
trainer that crashed in Riyadh last month
due to reported engine problems. I note that
it is not yet in your database for RSAF, but
perhaps the website is yet to be updated. As
usual there is nothing in the local media.
The good news is that the pilot ejected
safely.
