    Absolutely huge Pilatus fan! Fell in love with the PC-12 and the capability when I was young. Still hands down my favorite plane

  • @jeffherndon
    @jeffherndon 12 днів тому +54

    Everyone talks about the PC-12 but to me the PC-24 is the most amazing. Its ability to operate on dirt strips and takeoff in 3000 feet to blows away everything else on the market. The TBM is my favorite TP but the PC-24 is my favorite jet. I love the factory tours since I started as a machinist and am now a mechanical engineer. Thank you for making this video!

    Oh Steveo,
    If I had known you are in Switzerland, I would have made a lot to meet you on a drink. I suffer from some kind of multiple sclerosis and therefore my radius has decreased at lot. I imagined 1000 times sitting on the right seat next to you and flying into a sunset somewhere in Florida. Now that you have visited Pilatus, I want to say not more but thank you for making your flying accessible to me.
    Take care, fly safe!

    PC24 is an amazing aircraft - the Australian Royal Flying Doctor Service were a launch customer, ability to land on dirt strips and then get patients back to hospital over long distances at jet speeds is a game changer.

      I love the RFDS... they're fantastic. I was invited to their opening day for their new facility at YPAD... unfortunately COVID hit and that was the end of that. A few years back I did some deliveries to their old base at YPAD and someone took me through for a quick look around. Big respect to what they do. :)

      It was heavily designed around the needs of the RFDS, there are very few operators who take plans into the conditions the flydocs do especially purposely landing on something that isn’t intended to be a landing strip!

    Thank you for this amazing and awe inspiring video! Over decades, I worked with both Swissair and Crossair, and was an independent airline technical representative to Douglas and Boeing. Daily, I watched how aircraft were built on production and delivery lines, and Pilatus was always renown for its supreme quality. Visiting industrial mechanical shops and watchmaking facilities, I have long admired what I term "The Swiss Culture of Quality". It's everywhere! Take a look at the Pilatus facilities; extremely clean, well organized and you can instantly tell the quality and drive of its people. The same is true throughout the country in countless ways, inspired by unique beauty and a deep desire to create only the very best that can be obtained. Bravo gentlemen! Your example continues to inspire me to do better! I only wish we in America could come close to this level of craftsmanship and quality!

    I've been on 3 aircraft plant tours. Twice to Cirrus in Duluth Minnesota just before their Cirrus Jet went into production. The other time was at Cessna in Wichita Kansas. At Cessna they were certifying the Cessna Citation X and they were working on the JPATS Trainer entry which wasn't selected. At Cessna I saw the Caravan line as well as one of the Citation lines. It's cool seeing how the plane starts with one part and grows to a fully built plane.
    In the Twin Cities I've also been to the Ballistic Recovery Systems plant at Fleming Field in South St Paul. They make the Airplane parachute for Cirrus planes, as well as parachutes for supply drops for the US Military.
