And...not meaning to be glib. But according to a recent report, reported by a reporter from a drop zone south of Milwaukee, "If you hit a skydiver on the port side of a porter, don't don't report the base leg, just land straight ahead."

Similar reports had been reported by the porter pilot, who's name shall remain vague for his protectection and not to be little his importance. "Any port, in a storm!" he said, as he portaged his way back to the drop zone.

Anyone have any feedback on how hard / easy they are to fly?

It's been reported by a porter who was on port, that they are one of the easiest to get flying while sitting on a conveyor going in the opposite direction at exactly the same speed ........ that's important. :nuts:

I think the ease of landing is all based on what you bring in your.. report--waahh.. :)
 
Pc12-44

Great aircraft!! Very easy to fly, lands like a charm and awesome useful load. Excellent instrument platform and yes, you can see the ground! The shaker and pusher test switch is in a awkward position, but other than that, the panel and switches are easy to get to. Very low maintenance. Flew it SNA to CUN, great flight.
