      Although not a PC12 the US just had one of their flying phone exchanges shot down in Afghanistan - the converted Bombardiers
      "Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "

      "No, they're trying to fly the tank"

        Shot down or crashed?
        It's not serious though, I'm sure the crew just got headaches....
        For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

              I hear there is a standard version on loan from pilatus to convert the pilots to type.

                    Don Lavery reporting that a decision has been made to purchase a standard model PC12 from Pilatus, bringing to 4 the total type in use. This aircraft will arrive from Switzerland shortly, straight off the (civvy) shelf.
                    I am speculating this is because the 3 PC12-NG we have ordered are in the US being fitted out, and all work on them has ceased for the forseeable future, meanwhile there is a pressing need for a Cessna replacement here and now.

                      If true, fingers crossed they end up doing the do the same with the C295 purchase.
                      It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
                      It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
                      It was a new age...It was the end of history.
                      It was the year everything changed.

                          Dont think so. A straight liaison aircraft is urgently required. GASU have their own budget and requirements that may be different to the DF.

                            Thanks for the update na grohmiti, best of luck to those flying her. Three PC12s were never going to be enough to do very much, hopefully a) the DoD got a good price on it after the delays with the 3 ISTAR examples, and b) another one or two examples will follow it

                              Great news!!!.

                              This should allow for the Spectres to conduct their main roles with the standard model conducting VIP, Air Ambulance etc.
