@xevnoc Hopefully some day. Bush flying in Alaska sounds fun to me.

@calltipv2 buy a husky and go do some real flying :)

Urgh I miss the days of real flying, going to a small airport, having a hamburger, taking friends along. Turning it into a career, being an airline pilot has destroyed my love for flying. It ain't the same :(

I'd rather have 2 engines

Speaking as an experienced psychologist, I can tell you that one of the greatest selling points of this plane is the square wave sound which becomes considerably louder during take-off. Many PC12's are owner flown, and the sound emitted draws attention to the plane; it's akin to the owner / pilot symbolically "farting" down the runway.
I'm not really a psychologist; I just made that up!!
Where were you departing from for Orlando?

Great aircraft.
do you bring back the power to a climb setting after takeoff as with other props, and is overheating at full power/slow speeds an issue as with the baron 58s etc?

Thats correct. After takeoff we bring back power to 36.9 trq. Overheating on the PC12 was never an issue. Out off the mountains we often had high power settings and low speeds. The PT6-67 Series Turbine does a amazing job in pretty much all configurations. I used to fly the 58s in Florida. I can sing you a song about overheating :). cheers
