Yesterday I flew with an instructor that I do my flight reviews with. I want to start my IR soon, so I asked him to let me know when he's flying his boss' plane and wants someone to go with him. He texted me Monday and said that he had to take the new Pilatus PC-12 NG for some minor maintenance to NH yesterday. We went from KRME to KMHT in 1 hour. This plane is unreal and the only thing really IR that I learned was communications because everything was so automated. It was a fantastic experience in this plane.

That is badazz...would love a ride in a PC-12. Heck I would love a ride in a new Cirrus!
 
Awesome! We’ve got a beautiful red/silver/black PC-12 at my home airport and I’m always drooling over it.
 
So how does it fly? Did you land it? :p
 
My favorite airplane!! I got in one at the AOPA fly in. I sat in the left seat sat in the back. There is a private bathroom too.

Depends on how you define private lol
Thankfully our had that removed.


Awsome aircraft however, I'd love to play with a NG, all my experience has been in /45s, still a aircraft that leaves very little to be desired, just well thought out through and through.

He asked if I wanted to be in the left seat on the way back. Not sure if he was serious but I just chuckled. The thing practically landed itself. I think I drove him nuts asking what switches and buttons were for the entire ride. The part where things became nuts is that he didn't know the answers to some, so he looked them up in the POH. Just an amazing plane.
 
WOW that is nice!!
That is the plane I will buy when I win the Lotto!!! :)
 
Maybe the DEA bought it??

Mulligan is flying his little one to the naval academy for the weekend for a code breaking class. Heard the Blue Angels we’re putting on a show there so hope to see some cool stuff this weekend

Blue's homecoming show at Navy Pensacola always one of the best. You might want to visit the Naval Air Museum while you're there instead of eating oysters and drinking beer while watching skimpy clad women on the beach.

How amazing is the stall speed for a plane of that size the stall speed is in the 60's (67knots..I believe)

Now, now, you can't fool us. This is PoA. We know the wheels on that thing hang down, not go up. ;)

Great to hear you're making the most of the good weather.

But...:needpics:
