The Pilatus P-2 was a trainer aircraft designed by Swiss manufacturer Pilatus in 1942 and first flown on April 27 1945. It was used by the Swiss Air Force from 1946 until 1981. The P-2 was a low-wing monoplane of mixed construction (metal wood and canvas) with a fully retractable tail wheel undercarriage and dual control tandem seating. To save cost several parts came from older Swiss AF machines for example landing gear parts from their Messerschmitt Bf 109s.
