Anyone complaining about Emma is a rotten human being, sharing aviation with your children is amazing. I'm not familiar with the avionics on the Pilatus but i know in my Cirrus at the push of a button i can isolate my self, so i instruct my passangers to speak freely, and i hit the button when i need to be alone.

@GrantBaker 6 ай бұрын

@rdawgz866 thanks, I love sharing aviation with my kids when I get the chance and they love riding up front with me. We are making some great memories! The Honeywell avionics has an isolate function also, although I almost never use it.

I used to fly with my dad when I was about eight years old in a 150 commuter, and then later when he bought a nice Bellanca. About 20 years ago, I was flying the Lear 35 and 55 aircraft, so this brings back a lot of great memories for me. All steam gauges, of course. I looked at the PC 12 one year down at sun and fun. Looks like a nice airplane.

Emma is a great co-pilot. Seeing the B-52 brought back my Air Force memories during the 80's. I grew up flying with my dad in a Beechcraft V-tail Bonanza. Greatest years of my life flying with him, then when I was 15 he bought a Bell 47J2A hellicopter. We took her to the 1977 Oshkosh fly-in. We flew with the Confederate Air Force in a B-24 bomber in formation with about 30 other WWII aircraft and met and talked with Pappy Boyington while in Oshkosh. Great times and your children will remember the times with you especially while flying. God Bless you all and see ya on the next one.

Amazing amazing flight as always Grant!! I actually have gotten some stick time in the PC-12 and it definitely opened up my eyes in the power difference and control compared to a little C-172. Taxiing for sure is a chore having to real step into the rudder pedals to make it turn!! Keep up the great work good sir!

@GrantBaker 6 ай бұрын

Yeah she doesn’t like to turn very tight without using brakes and power. Rudder only turns the nose 12°, but with brakes it’s steerable to 60°!

@GrantBaker As far as turboprop aircraft go it's definitely my favorite one. Myself and a few coworkers joke around calling it the duck-billed plane because of the name Pilatus. 😄. But I absolutely love how smooth she flies and just how easy she is to control.
