Since 1989 the Royal Netherlands Air Force operates thirteen Pilatus PC-7 Turbo Trainers for the flying training at Woensdrecht at the EMVO (Elementary Military Flying School). At first ten aircraft were bought, since 1997 three additional aircraft were bought added.
Since 1995 a standard Pilatus PC-7 is used for display purposes at several events both in the Netherlands and abroad. The team uses two smoke pods under the wings.
It uses two aircraft, one operational demonstration aircraft plus one spare.

In 2006 the aircraft had a new paint scheme overall gloss black with yellow markings applied. The black colour was because of an improved visibility in the air.
