Pilatus Porter Fan Club CC from South Africa, who has been flying for over 20 years, wrote in to tell us the Pilatus Porter was both his dream plane and the best bush plane. Dave Duncan, also from South Africa, agrees with him wholeheartedly. Tom Fritz from the United States, who is both a pilot (for 18 years) and skydiver, claims the Pilatus PC-12 as his dream plane, although he thinks the is the best bush plane. Marphy from Malaysia had the opposite position. He said, 'the porter definitely.
Malaysia got some serious mountain ranges and weather. Fly high and stol, also strong frame, not thirsty on gas. Twin otter too complicated to maintain. Me not silly put whitewash on me willy.' That last bit probably translates into something different in his language. Either that or someone spammed our database.
Anyway, back to the Pilatus Porter. Dave from Alaska wrote in to tell us the Pilatus Porter is his dream plane, although he thinks the is the best bush plane. Christopher from Guatemala, who has been flying about 2 years, says his dream plane is either the Pilatus Porter or the Cessna 185, although he thinks the best bush plane is the. Karl from the United States, who has been flying since 1965 claims the Pilatus PC-6 as both his dream plane and the best bush plane. Karl is an interesting guy who has owned a number of sweet bush planes. He had this to say, 'Sorry, but a Cessna 182 will always beat a Cessna 180 off the pavement. It can attain a higher angle of attack on the ground.
