    They’re a pretty cool thing.
    RFDS Central actually seriously considered those a decade or so ago as they are almost as quick as a jet and have a pretty big cabin but ultimately rejected them I think because of runway requirements and lack of a big door for loading patients. Also think it needs two crew but don’t quote me on that.

    End result was we went with the PC24 as soon as that was announced so I’m happy. :)

    The one today was cruising at F320 and a TAS of 370k, which I thought was impressive for a turboprop.

    You lucked out with the PC24 mate, beautiful aircraft. And between you and I, given the option, I’d take a Swiss aircraft over an Italian one all day long ;)

    Well that would explain why she wasn’t in her hanger when I stopped yesterday to take a pic. Back safe and sound today :)

    Probably the least impressive arrival and departure they saw all day. :p
    Gutted that the jet (which we were scheduled to take) wasn’t available so ended up having to take a -12.

    Nevertheless was great to go there.

    Here’s a thrilling vid of us taxiing out.



    And an even more thrilling one of our departure. (Note: I did not take these vids. I asked a staff member whom had come along for the ride to do it).

    Some amusing still shots to come tomorrow. :p
