BTW - I LOVE the PC-12, sexy plane. Just was curious.

Ugly plane, looks like a platypus

@wobano

300+ MPH at 54 gallons per hour and a 2300+ nautical mile range at 28,000 feet for less than half the cost of a CJ3.

It fills a niche and is not hard on the eyes either.

I guess that is why there are other planes out there for people like yourself.

[SlamDuncDrummer]

Not trying to be rude but what does this offer over something like a CJ? They are priced not too far apart and there is a fairly significant performance differential.

@SlamDuncDrummer you'll find a CJ even though it is a great aircraft hasnt got the same load carrying capability as the PC-12 (or B200) and wont get into the smaller strips that the tubo prop can do. Also i think a CJ1 (which only has 4 seats in the back) isnt that much faster than a PC-12.

Könnte man sich den PC-12 in einer ISR Ausführung vorstellen, ein bischen wie der Beechcraft King Air 350?

I have heard the NG cockpit is always crashing like windows. There seems to be a software problem.

We took a PC-12 in 60 days around the world, very nice plane, even for crossing the pacific. It was a little risky though. :-) I look for PC-12 owners doing another worldtrip. See my slideshow.

Flat panels finally! Plus 15% more power.
