Isn't It Time for the Pilatus Porter PC-6

We start where other's stop

[@indridcold8433]

The PC-6 is the plane so aesthetically unusual it transcends the conventional definitions of ugly and beautiful. I love them.

[@asthalis]

its long nose is only due to the lighter turbine engine compared to the original piston engine : to keep the CG right, it had to be stretched. Can't say the PC-6 is a beautiful plane but it is very distinctive and I like it this way.

[@gordslater]

hey - it's *ALWAYS* time for a Porter

[@mtkoslowski]

And now this year Pilates is discontinuing the production line. How very sad. Fortunately there are about 300 still flying. Long live the Porter!

[@icefangofcoldfire]

i love my Porter best plane i have ever flown and i have taken it too 6 continents

[@ZhihengCao]

At just 130kt cruising speed and limited range isn't it harder than even an average piston GA plane?

[@aaronthomas8834]

Its ALWAYS time for the Porter... There's nothing like this bird, only Pilatus could engineer such an amazing plane

[@SaratogaontheAT]

I can't believe Pilatus stopped production of this aircraft.

[@mikeupton5406]

It's always time for a Porter.

[@Flightstar]

YES YES Im ready for one of these. Now quite teasing and hand one over pronto!!

[@pedalingyak]

Great video, inspirational to me as I love this airplane so much. I should do something to make some serious money so I can purchase and operate one myself. You can make money with this plane, you can save people, animals, do some real good. The Turbo Porter is up to the task!

[@77Avadon77]

It's a great plane on wheels, on floats it's a god!! :D

[@IHaulBoxes]

Outstandingly nice video!

[@mohdsaifulizannasordin3834]

[@RomanKozlov007]

Amazing

[@konturger]

initally the porter was designed to be a military utility aircraft for the rough swiss valleys, later on they also released it to civilian operation.

[@juan-ac2713]

anywhere anytime, this plane is awesome for stol operations

Nice!

[@DarienSeminoff]

YES it's time!! Give it too me NOW!!!

[@redbearrc6706]

Flying beside the pilot of a PC6 making the dive after dropping para's is my last wish.

[@reggierico]

This is my favorite turbine single. How long has this aircraft been in production? I remember a Pilatus demo team came to Hurlburt Field in the late 80's and this was an amazing aircraft. I believe they were around during the Vietnam conflict as well.

[@DerkNL]

Jeffrey Collier Produced since 1959 :)

[@reggierico]

Dreek NL Thanks for the info! A great year for aircraft, cars and me! (my birth year! lol)

[@DerkNL]

Jeffrey Collier Found some info about the ones flying during the Vietnam war. ''The Fairchild AU-23A Peacemaker was an American armed gunship, counter-insurgency, utility transport version of the Pilatus PC-6 Porter for the U.S. Air Force. A total of 15 were built under license in the USA by Fairchild Industries, for use during the Vietnam War in the early 1970s''

[@jameskelly8506]

+Jeffrey Collier We had three PC6's at Intermountain Aviation with the Garrette TPE331 engine, in the late sixties. Tremendous aircraft.

La jeep ou land rover du ciel !

[@jaredcampuzano7386]

Can I capture this video and put it on my Facebook Page?

[@bicobello]

+Jared Campuzano yes

[@lumberjak5010]

This aircraft has probably done more spooky work than any other single aircraft. I mean, a civilian aircraft that comes with hardpoints? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@jrgb9945]

lumberjak5010 It’s probably been used by many spooks as well.

[@rolabout]

Fun to fly! Are you related to Walter?

[@vallmiller476]

So, the bottom line; regular guy can't afford .

[@duh123jump]

One just crashed last week in Belgium. 11 people dead.

[@dennism103]

Well I think its funny!

[@tripacer8259]

Check out the Quest Kodiak.....

[@DarienSeminoff]

Tri Pacer Useless, It's a tricycle gear runway only machine. It simply does not compare to the Porter.

[@user-ol1qm9ey7g]

เป็นเครื่องบินที่หน้าเป็นเจ้าของมันดูไม่เหมือนใครมันมีถังน้ำมันสำรองมันเหมือนหน่วยปฏิบัติการพิเศษ

[@xlenau]

nice plane and music but the visuals don't keep up with it.
