I just went over to KOJC/OJC (part of my initials) in Olathe, KS & there are 5 PC12’s flying in & out of there - truck country for sure. I have never seen so many PC12’s in one little town before - reckon they are all country boys drivin them thangs… 8) ➡ I like the Pilatus - you can make her a cargo/passenger plane pretty easy & she can land on grass strips (farmers runway) - makes her very verstile just like a flatbed pickup!!! 😃 ---

I used to base out of KOJC a long time ago. KCAC (west side of the airport) is a Pilatus dealer and a Pilatus Service Center, and have 2 or 3 on their 135 cert. Ever since they started selling them, they have done well. They have a good sales staff up there as well, not to mention an excellent charter department. Chris ---

But thanks to you - I now know the “rest of the story” for sure. I’m humbled that you have helped alleviate my ignorance. I learned something today about aviation that I didn’t know & I love doing that or having that done to me - learning!!! 😃 ---

You’re welcome, and I try to do the same thing every day – learn something new. 🙂 Chris ---

Since you made me curious, the top two airports for PC12 activity are CYQT and CYXL; inside the US it’s KTEB and KMHT. KOJC has about half as many daily PC12 ops as KTEB or KMHT. ---

MHT is going to be seeing a lot fewer PC12s in two or three weeks. Alpha is moving to Pease (PSM). ---
