| Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter |
| Switzerland, 1961 - The original
Pilatus Porter flew for the first time in 1959, equipped with a six
cylinder Lycoming engine. The outstanding STOL characteristics made
it an instant succes as a general purpose aircraft, both military
and civil. From 1961 on the Porters carried turbo props and had as
a consequence (center of gravity) a longer nose. The functional looking
aircraft has always been very popular with parachutist trainers. In
the U.S.A. it was licence built as the Fairchild Peacemaker and served
with the U.S.A.F. It flew in many countries. The model shown represents
the PH-MEN of Paracentrum Texel, The Netherlands, as it flew its many
missions as a parachutist trainer for would-be skydivers from all
over Europe during the 80's. |
