It seems that we are the first customer for the Spectre. The link also gives the route across the Atlantic for anyone interested (BXO-PIK-RKV-SFJ-YFB-YQT-BJC 6/1/18)

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostThe USAF have a grey painted version with increased surveillance avionics. Ours looks very white and jazzy for what particular role. The aircraft emanates from a 1991 design with a next generation-NG- starting about 2006/7. It's aimed at business classes with adaptability to some mil/ambulance roles.

This one is the bog standard PC12NG originally built for a private customer.
The Air Corps were offered the aircraft after said buyer cancelled the order.

Originally posted by ropebag View PostIsn't the white one leased for air and ground crew training, and then once the full fat Spectres are on line it will be given back to Pilatus? - or is this an airframe that will stay on the books as a stripped out PC-12, mainly used for training, but also available for low Viz/small size airlift?

Better range, speed, loiter time, passenger capacity, cargo capacity to name a few
