Who has got one on order?

I'm a big fan of Pilatus, their engineering and understanding of the market. I think they will have another big success with the PC -24. Its equipped with a cargo door, can use very short and unpaved runways.

I never been a twin biz jet fan because it eliminated many runways. The PC 24 may be a game changer.

Our Pilatus salesman has one more pre order slot flat priced without inflation increases. 500k down.

You'll be in a CJ4 or Phenom 300 by then?

2020 is a long time. I'd like to see a couple of these planes flying in the real world. The marketing stuff sounds really good but the landfill is full of marketing brochures of broken promises on airplane performance.

Still, if they can deliver what they promise then it might not be a bad deal. Time will tell. A 2500' runway is the magic number.

Bull, that plane has your name on it. It won't depreciate for the first 10 years, so you are covered. I spoke to the Pilatus guy at Epps (names withheld to protect the innocent) and he told me verbatim, Crandall's moving up.....the NG is a good airplane for you poor folk :D

and Rick......you need a frigging Kodiak. :thumbup:

My father in law has one on order. They told him 2018. I think they are one of the first ones.

Rick,
I agree but none have Pilatus on them. :D Pilatus has a history of delivering results. I wouldn't bet against them.

Jason,
My prediction is by 2020, there will be lots of Phenom 300s you can pick up cheap.

Jason, a Honda Jet will be a good step up from the Pilatus. :lol:

Yep a Kodiak or a Caravan. Those airplanes make the worst pilots look good.

I'm still contemplating my next mission. A Twin Biz Jet is not in the picture for me but a PC-12 maybe. I've lusted after one for many years. But I only need one for about six trips a year.

I'm going to spend some time in CR with Larry. I need to get my mind right.
