  • More flights on the H-King PC6 Porter
    Oil fields, jungle, deep sea - the Pilatus Porter PC-6 starred as a single-engine multi-purpose airplane in Ecuador before joining the Flying Bulls. This Pilatus Porter PC-6 was built in 1998 by the Swiss Pilatus Works, initially purely as a presentation aircraft. A year later, the plane was sold to Ecuador and served primarily in the oil business.
    It also showed its credentials as a rescue, passenger and cargo aircraft in the jungle. By 2004, however, the Porter had been bought back by Pilatus Werke and sold on to the Flying Bulls shortly after. Equipped with a propeller turbine, the PC-6 is a shoulder wing aeroplane featuring a fixed alighting gear and tail wheel. It is renowned for its excellent “short take off and landing” (“STOL”) qualities, even on the most difficult surfaces. It’s also very well suited to parachuting, hence the Flying Bulls’ plan to allow the Military Sports Association (HSV) to use the Porter.
