Pakistan Navy ATRs explained

摘要

The June issue includes a photo of a Pakistan Navy (PN) ATR aircraft, describing it as an ATR 42 (Pakistan Navy ATRs in Germany, p25). According to several military databases, the PN received ATR 72-212s. The photo shows ATR 72 serial 78, soon after its arrival at Moenchengladbach. I include a picture of its sister ship, serial 79, taken during an acceptance ceremony just before it was redelivered to Pakistan. The aircraft was with Rheinland Air Service (RAS) at Moenchengladbach where it underwent an extensive conversion beginning in June 2016.
