I remember a picture of a PC-9 from the Botswane ADF with the AIM-9 Sidewinder underneath the wings.

The armament is very much along the lines of the marchetti, from what I remember reading on this MB a while ago. As you can imagine Air-to-air is very much a secondary concern seeing as this is a turboprop trainer, so I think it consists of two machine gun pods. If you go back through the posts I'm sure you'll find the one which goes into this topic in greater depth
