Pilatus PC-24 twin jet, who's first in line????

[TFaudree_ERAU]

Ah. Well of course it's 'shopped. They haven't even built the thing yet.

At least they didn't go Flight Sim 2004.

Love the advertisement! Can't afford one however.

God that is sexy!

Insurance allowing you to operate your jet on a dirt runway is a completely different story.

We fly our jets(lears) and t-props from unimproved runways daily.

Where do you do that?

KYIP doesn't count

I had those guys and an operator who uses the callsign "Gotham" on frequency at the same time...

Robin?

I'm not sure I'd be able to handle so much AWESOME at once!

Had worked them individually many many times, having both on at the same time... was awesome.

I'm sure other pilots on frequency were thinking "Is this some sort of a prank?"

 

[z987k]

Where do you do that?

Wherever required... but mostly in Alaska.
These might be the ticket. IMO the lears need replaced.

Just the photoshop photo.... It seems legit

It could be a shopped photo but it looks way nicer than the Accord jet, sorry Honda Jet..............

Some of the Citations have unimproved runway capability but you don't see them "off road" very often

Falcons can be off roaded too.

Yes, they even have an optional nose wheel spin up system. There is a blank circuit breaker slot on the captain's side for "nose wheel rpm" on several of our citations. I'll take a picture of it next time I'm in the airplane. I'm not sure how many other aircraft have this option but I always thought it was neat.

One thing is landing/t/o on an unimproved runway, an other is doing it short

It`s in Swiss German

The best of all is that it will bring a ton of jobs, they are expecting over 250 engineering positions, it will be made step by step in Switzerland and hopefully the govt will allow all the testing to be done there too.

That only counts in the US, where insurance companies are insane, my boss` plane with Australian Insurance had no restriction whatsoever..

Some of the companies they have in mind as costumers are Flying Doctors, UN,....don`t think they have those type of insurance issues

Really, the question is how do I fly one?

Honestly, Pilatus makes good stuff, the PC-12 is probably the "best" airplane I've ever flown in terms of quality engineering, and capability. I imagine that the PC-24 will only do better.

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

But seriously FJ44s with transfomer flaps and a practical platform for a of golf bags...
