It's the fat girls and mopeds joke .Both are fun to ride so long as your friends do not see.
But really ,you would only want to take home The 200 or the 350 ,anything less is just that LESS .Less safety ,less options ,less ways out of trouble ,Less.Less is less you could argue more but you know it is still less.
If you have been to greece you have been on a moped .If you have been up north long enough you have been on a ..........

As has been stated earlier, nothing really does compare directly with either the 12 or the 200/350. The 12 is a fantastic airplane, never flown one, but wouldn't mind. The problem in the charter world is that a lot of businesses and gov't corporations will not fly on one for insurance reasons. So your faced with buying a new/used 200 for 1.5+ or a 12 for what 3? That difference in purchase price will go along way toward the increased operating costs of the twin.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I just can't wait for some rich prick with more money than sense get hold of one of those VLJs and carve up a zone before he calls in because he's about 30 seconds behind what the jet is doing.ch135146 wrote:Seen the Piper Jet?

That's because they want multi time, not exactly a tough call there. Also funny to read that some people don't think the PC-12 has "real" EFIS. Last time I checked EFIS stood for Electronic Flight Instrumentation System, which is what the Pilatus has. Try telling a 757/767 driver that they don't have EFIS, because they have pretty much the same setup as the PC-12, with the addition of an FMS for navigating in lieu of just a GPS (which is a pretty mute point considering you don't need EFIS to go with an FMS and vice versa). Anyway, just another penny or two. I hope everyone is spending lots of time with family these days.2R wrote:I have met a lot of PC-12 pilots who would give up flying the PC-12 to go fly a King Air.
