Great shots. Love the first one. "Don't whatever you do press the red button!" Not seen a PC-12 before...interesting looking plane. Fantastic B25 too.

Thanks! Hoping to get to know the B-25 a little better in 2011...

Thank You! The Pilatus PC-12 is just a beastly workhorse of an aircraft. They're built in Switzerland and then ferried to Colorado for final fitting out. Flying Magazine did a good article a few years back on what the ferry flight experience is like. Nothing beats six hours trussed up in a survival suit!

Given that this particular T-38 actually is from the 509th Bomb Wing, it's hard to say for sure who flys it regularly or why there is a civvy name on the rail. Near as I can tell, both occupants are military so I dunno <shrug>

I think the T-38/F-5s are one of the slickest looking fighters ever built...

I've never heard the Pilatus called the "Platypus" before...

Thanks for the over the top review but everyone is perfectly worthy. Just go out and shoot early and often. Like any genre, aviation shooting just takes practice.

I would agree. Nothing extra and nothing wasted. Like the man said, "If it looks like it will fly right, it will probably fly, right?"

I've never heard the Pilatus called the "Platypus" before...

We decided to dub it that because it's a turbo prop. A little bit of jet and a little bit of prop. I actually explained the whole Oregon-resident thing to some people where you don't root for the Beavers or the Ducks so you're a Platypus! :D
