angryelf 0 #1 October 28, 2017 Which DZ's are still regularly flying loads with a Pilatus PC-6? Seems like Caravans and PAC's have filled the single engine turbine niche for awhile, guessing a few are still flying. Where?"Sometimes you eat the bar, and well-sometimes the bar eats you..."

CrashProne 4 #2 October 28, 2017 Kapowsin is rockin a Porter when there aren't enough jumpers to fill a Caravan or Twin Otter load. Great plane!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkhayes 348 #3 October 28, 2017 not many. The Caravan is a far better choice for pilots, parts, maintenance, insurance and a host of other reasons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #4 October 28, 2017 Abbottsford, B.C., Canada still has a Porter. It is ex-Australian Army and has the ugliest desert camouflage paint job I have ever seen! Abby's Porter is assisted by a Quest Kodiak and a gaggle of piston-pounding Cessnas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JChez1017 0 #5 November 7, 2017 Skydive The Ranch in NY still breaks out the Porter occasionally. Just hung upside from the struts the other day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
