The first of a new Royal Thai Air Force order for eight aircraft was delivered to Bangkok this week to bring the Thai Air Force's fleet of the Hamilton-designed and manufactured trainer to 52 since 1973.
PAC managing director Brian Hare said he expected to sign contracts for another eight CT-4s within the next few weeks.
The rugged and simple aircraft has been a steady money-maker for PAC since it was produced to meet a RAAF requirement for a basic trainer in 1972. About 150 have been manufactured for private and military clients, including the RNZAF.
The two-seat, all-metal CT-4 is powered by a Lycoming AE10 engine for a cruising speed of 278kph and range of 836 km.
Meanwhile, PAC has delivered its first 750 XL utility aircraft to Swiss sky-diving operator Paravia AG and expects to have the versatile turbo-prop in seven markets, including Australia, the US and Africa, by the end of this year.
