Go for it Todd. I definitely think you should buy it. Get me one too. ;-) Seriously, I think it would look great with the Dreamfleet touch.

There was a PC12 at my home airport (may still be there in a hanger), but the owner is/was selling it for a King Air. I got to sit in the cockpit once. It was magnificent.

Todd, great plane you have there, even if I personally like the TBM-700 more ;) But still I would suggest you to sell MPP and buy this one ;)

Blimey, replacing a PC with a KA..?

Shurely shome mishtake..?

The PC12 has greater cabin volume, equal load-carrying capacity, higher cruise and altitude capabilities and infinitely better field performance than the KA. It's also safer, (yes really..!)

And that's without mentioning the operating economies...

..And I'd like mine in blue, thanks. Don't bother to wrap it, just leave it on the doorstep and I'll take it as it is, ta...

The TBM is too small, like the Meridian it does not have the payload capacity. Yes, the TBM and Meridian may look nicer, but looks aren't everything. ;-)

The PC-12 has ALWAYS proved popular with FS users in the past. :-)

Watch out, Mikko, you might be building this PC-12! ;-)

Todd: What exactly is the "deal"? Perhaps you will want to call me / e-mail about this.

If I can get my hands on this ship to photograph, we must get it arranged soon, and also discuss it at our end, so we can fit it into the schedule after the -310.

Thanks, my friend. :-)

That was my thinking as well. The guy who owns it apparently wants the safety of a twin. At least that is the word at the FBO. I suggested he buy the King Air that is parked on the ramp. It is currently fitted with sprayers and is used as a crop duster. I kid you not. It isn't old or worn out either. It has a nice paint job, and looks to be well appointed inside. I just don't get it. It is very amusing every time I taxi by it.

Anyway, I'd prefer the PC12 any day, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a KA. So anyone want to contribute to the "Let's buy Ken a nice turboprop" campaign? ;-)

..And best of all, it is free of all weeds and bugs. :-) I just wouldn't suggest eating off the belly, due to the 1/2" of caked-on pesticides. :-lol

Yeah, I understand that. But it's just my oppinion of real planes. TBM would come before PC-12. Or of course I would take PC-12, sell it and buy TBM 700 and keep the rest of the money for gas ;-)

ps. I wouldn't mind building a PC-12 :)...

Of course with the PC-12 you would have to do "executive", "commuter" and "air abulance" cabin models! :-eek

Maybe. ;-)
