Title: Pilatus PC-3
Post by: yipDog on August 24, 2014, 09:16:28 AM
This may be a very short thread as there are very few of these flying in the US. The pilot of this one said around 15!!

In any case this was part of our extremely dissimilar formation yesterday heading from FFZ up to Valle.

Great shot Rob.  Not something you see every day, especially from the air!

Without the blaze orange markings, this thing would vanish into a clear blue sky...

Outstanding Rob! You can really see the family resemblance with the PC-9 and T-6B.
