As a retired turbine engine mechanic I must say I still get excited when I hear one starting up.
It's all in the sound.
-27 pt6 , 11 yrs of that sound at 20 loads a day , loving memories of Porter , Fairchild version at that
A small present for you : ua-cam.com/video/C_BWFxhbWc4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=padtango
Such a cool aircraft and the Porter along with the Otter and Beaver did a lot
to open up many remote places in the world.
What would have been impressive is for him to take off backwards.
Now that would have been impressive!
Love the 6 👍
one of the most glorious sounds I've ever heard is a PC-6 startup. one of the most impressive sights is a PC diving to and straightening for a runway landing at 200ft . Irish Parachute Club, Edenderry, Eire
marksandsparks1 Blue Skies from DeLand. So happy to have jumped from one for a few weeks here. Our DZ-owned Porter crashed on take-off some time back but we borrowed one for a short time later on.
I love the sound of turboprops in the morning. :D
And the smell of the kerosene or Jet A1 fuel!
@@ctwentysevenj6531 i love the jumps out of that bloody amazing plane , more thaen 200
and the short take off!!
There is a great turbine startup on UA-cam in Mosquito “XET STARTUP.”
My uncle told me the reason for the long nose was because the engine was so light compared to a combustion engine it had to be moved further forward to get the correct cg for the wing.. It also allowed a better usable range of the cg for loading of goods and moving things around.. I actually always wondered why it had such a disproportionately long nose, well I guess I know now lol...
Yes, that's right. Same thing with some piston engine Cessnas converted into props, you can't miss their long nose !
Also improves over-the-nose visibility!
@@richardpark3054
Explain to me how you can improve the visibility with a longer nose ??
@@asthalis It's 'sarcasm'! I owned a half-scale Corsair a few decades ago and I couldn't see anything over the nose! I'd s-turn while taxiing, periodically dip the nose on climb out. But landing and take off was accomplished by looking out the side for runway orientation. After a while, I learned to land without a final approach: a descending turn and roll out on the runway.
The switch from reverse to forward, impressive! The plane masterful.....
I know l am going to sound naive but l never knew airplanes could go into reverse.
It almost literally just hopped off the ground. It flies so softly. I've never seen a plane like that
I've never seen anything like this a plane with reverse and the shortest takeoff ever!
Draco?
Is that reverse done with prop pitch or actual wheel motor? Cool and watching it makes me dizzy alittle. Up up and away.
@Todd m Maybe he was somehow referring to this Draco:
ua-cam.com/video/PqhI4MeCn1c/v-deo.html
@@60viking its prop pitch that allows them to reverse.
She's a beauty. Planes were never allowed to park in the city because they couldn't back up. This beauty changes everything LOL...Frank
Beautiful paint scheme.
I didn't know you could get a backup camera......
Needs one of those backup alarms they put on commercial trucks. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
You showoff! That's incredible!
Seven seconds to take off! incredible.
Fantastic ! This plane is a pure dream to fly ..
no, the stick is hard as a closing a medieval gate
i was once at the factory and they make test runs from the parking lot.
If you we're there in the 60's.
Such scene is a part of Pilatus promo video.
I absolutely love the ability to back up! I have a Seabee with reversing prop. But 'Mermaide of the Skye' will never take off like that!
Formidable avion ! C'est un véritable ADAC ! Bravo les Suisses !
Air America flew porters during Vietnam war. They required little more that postage stamp to take off and land. Impressive.
Yo volé una Pilatus PC6 turbo porter el año 1975 y me quedé asombrado de sus despegues y aterrizajes STOL.
Between the silver blue and green absolutely beautiful thank you for that
Nice helicopter you got there lol And the backing up.. now that's a fancy trick. I wonder if there's any mirror or way to look behind you for the pilot. He did it with such confidence.
He used a hairstylist mirror lol
We had two with the Police in Oman. (A40-AK & A40-AL I think in 1975/6) Great aircraft! When we were at the factory they demonstrated their 'steam rocket' for even shorter take-off. Magic!
Please tell us what the "steam rocket" was.
@@mikeh2520 HI Mike. The 'steam rocket' was a tubular device below the fuselage where the water was super heated by the engine and then released at high pressure to produce added power which made the Porter almost virtually leap into the air without pollution.
@@timcarrington1311 Thanks! I never would have imagined such a thing.
Totally incredible plane and the color of it. Just amazing flying and the take off too great turns too..you did an excellent job on this video too..Thank you so so much for your videos too..
So what, I have one of these for every day of the week and two 12's for the weekend (Then I woke up) ! Sweet video, sweet ship !
fantastic short takeoff!
Bring new meaning to "---back taxi on runway--".
This is amongst my favourite looking aircraft.
That fugly tail tho. Would look better with a C152/172 swept tail, instead of the door for a rudder
Pretty don't get you off a mountain in one piece....
So ugly it's cute kind of thing?
Made that way. If you have two spare parts (fixed surface and control panel), you can replace left or right hor. stabilizer and elevator or ver. stabilizer and rudder!
Telegram for Mongo.
It's a very unappealing aircraft on the outside, but nothing beats their capabilities and speed.
I'll always want one.
I've finally seen everything now that I've seen an airplane back up.
Enough headwind and a good pilot can make it fly backward!
Loved watching them take-off and land back in Thailand. Air America used them quite a bit.
I almost got hit crossing a rice paddy by one of them.
james cottrell Still do.
impressive. i bet it's a thrill landing in a crosswind.
One of my favourite aircraft of all time, the other is also a Pilatus
Looks and sounds as well as it performs. What a great plane!
The crickets 🦗 really add to the excitement... lol great video; awesome plane !
What heck kind of take-off was that? What do you call that kind of taking take-off? "The invisible parking space catapult"?
Wow!
Beautiful airplane!
If I had the ability I would have one , it's one of my favorites.
I thought for a moment that the music I heard in the background was just how smooth and well-tuned that turboprop was.
Such a cool paint scheme!
That plane is badass!!😀
Great plane for skydiving!
Actually it sucks to fit 10 people in there.... Better to have something bigger and more professinal such as a caravan twin otter or a beechcraft
Ah... The wonders of variable pitch propellers. What will we dream up next?
I never knew prop planes could be jet powered😂
I miss flying with Dad and flew a lot with him as a kid. Dad is bedridden now.
The most beautiful airplane.
Great jump ship 😃
Wow! Didn’t know it cut back up👍👍
Pilatus PC6: Amazing!!
Awesome video!!! I’ve never seen a Porter back up like that. 👍🏼
keep watching pilatus porters on you tube, some go backwrds, just by reversing the blades.
This is one awesome airplane, and the Swiss have it right!
What a fantastic aircraft!
Kature airplane. Beautiful. This airplane can land on a rough surface on top of mountain.
What a *hell* of a motor.
All it needs now is rear parking sensors and very swiss
Love P&W. Awesome Wing on that bird
Had a ride in an older Courier quite a few years ago! Unbelievable11111 PPL
6-7 seconds to lift off... amazing!
More like 2 seconds
That's the shortest takeoffs I've ever seen
This is dracos grandfather
Reverse in any aircraft is FTW
There is an outstanding turbine start up in MOSQUITO XET STARTUP.
Wow no plug in external power? Strong battery!
E S P E C T A C U L A R. . . Que nave, por Dios, maravillosa.
Maan that was short! Must've been zero payload and very little fuel though... That said, I think Porter has the shortest ground roll of all turbine bush planes. Pilatus Porter, Quest Kodiak, PAC-750 XSTOL and GippsAero GA10 Airvan are basically your choices when it comes to turbine single bush planes. My choice would be Kodiak, which (to me) is the best bush turbine, all things considered. For example, floats must be an option....which rules out PAC and GA10...at least for now. On the piston side Murphy Moose (with M-14PF) and GippsAero GA8 Airvan are the first bush workhorses that come to mind. Twin turbines there is Twin Otter and PZL Mielec M28 Skytruck, of which I would choose M28 (An-28 with PT6).
Wait until Mike Patey finishes his Turbo Prop Wilga project. THAT will be a short takeoff..
That was cool! Reverse? ... and such a short take off!
Legendary Aircraft!
Super vidéo 👍 Pilatus pc6 ❤️🇨🇭❤️
Single engine back up don't see that every day!
Amazing Swiss made!
"ugly" gets a new picture next to its definition.
The sticker on the back says "When I grow up I want to be a C-130"

Love your work 🙂
It's got a German registration :)
Greetings from germany or
Viele Grüße
6 second t/o run... amazing.
I swear to god, if I win the lottery, if it's the last thing I do, I'm buying a turbine aircraft, prop or jet, that can reverse thrust-it out of a parking spot...
My son Porter is named after it:-)
Solamente le falta que haga cafè para todos es super extraordinario
Loving the green and blue livery ! That's what I call a hi-performance aircraft !!! Do they still build them ??
It's gotta be the worlds only taildragging turboprop.
Maule make a turbine version of their STOL taildragger
Helio stallion is a turboprop taildragger
Rather slow in the air. We were flying from Kerang Victoria To Broken hil NSWl in a cherokee and heard voice traffic of one coming down from Golldburn NSW. Wind was inconsequential and yet we beat him in by a good margin. I think he said that they cruise at about 90 kts.
Andrew Nielsen Well it's a porter.. not a jet
Thick wings and square airframe create a slow cruise. It's a specialized airplane and it does it's short-field, short-haul role, unimproved airstrip(road, field, backyard) role to perfection.
Should have a periscope; so the pilot can see the runway during taxiing, takeoffs, and three point landings. Nobody can see over that long nose. 🙂
I didn't think planes could back up!
Das war sicher Bernd. Der benutzt gerne den Rückwärtsgang :-)
I want one now!

Yes sir! That's a real rocket, there--but, I bet you can't run all day 120 knots on 3.5 gallons per hour...
Nice powerback
Runway....Runway? We don't need no stinking runway...
Love this airplane! Good video.
Oh dear Lord! Short takeoff anyone? 😅. Does the propeller reverse direction to backup, or just blade pitch? (What a great plane!)
Reversible pitch props are handy things.
Very interesting looking plane; noisy sucker though!
Wow that paint job tho
Green plane on a green lawn,a praying mantis could've been named
Impressive.
what a neat plane!!!
BEAST!!
Wow almost as good a DRACO.
But the Draco is grounded right now.🤨
@@Joewylie3 eh, not really. It's doesn't have wings, landing gear, a tail, or a prop. And the engine is getting torn apart for inspection. It's got a long way to go before it'll fly again
@@ChevTecGroup You are correct. I was wrong. It'll be a while before Draco flies again.
I dont think I've ever seen somebody put thier plane in reverse before...
Hell Yeah!
My only trip in a Porter was very short. The pilot said one of two fuel pumps wasn't working and we made a quick turn and landed again. The question arose later about why a plane with fuel in its overhead wings needed pumps, but perhaps this had to do with the type of engine(?) Enlightenment would be appreciated.
I believe fuel supply by gravity would not suffice as it would not be adequate when G forces would pull the fuel away from the engine. In addition that turbine is a very thirsty beast and would require more fuel than gravity feed could supply.
Turbines need a certain level of delivery pressure.
Not sure for the porter but for the caravan there is a fuel reservoir below engine level that gets fed from the wing tanks by gravity and then feeds the engine with pumps. Guess thats an extra measure of safety that the engine will always have fuel provided avoiding flameouts and hot restarts for the PT6.
