Hi when it says top gun only the person you have this can fly that specific plane or some body else can? Beside this once that top gun move on to another duty that insignia still attached to that plane ?
Thx in advance if you can answer the query

I'm not sure but these aircraft may be subordinated to CCS and thus the Topgun motif.

Correct.....the CCS stamps in the logbooks would normally have the No.9 OC and Flight Commander stamps.

So paf did started replacing aullote iii with aw139 for sar mission?? Which is medium weight vs French light weight heli

Perhaps these will be used for sar plus vvip transport ??

Also 4th mi171 sqn being raised so 8/9 heli sqn will have 3-4 heli each with mi171 or aw139 about same price though but 171 can carry 5k kg with sling and 4K kg internally aw139 can carry about half


At one time it was decided for all 3 services to choose same platform for heli af and army seems to selected mi171 and aw139 navy is different story as they need specialised version
And long ranged so sticking to sea king for now and not sure will go for m171

Mil version for sar aw139 https://www.google.com/search?q=paf...0#imgdii=Wnt9QsYASHOoSM:&imgrc=NGaONoRlh9q47M:
