Serial PK-BXV leased with pilots from Susi Air for about 8 weeks.

They have pretty good performance figures and are really quiet inside. And have toilet!!
We are looking at options all the time, and these are on the list to review as they have good specs, lots of room and are twin engined.
One issue is the prop blades are behind the rear wheels which means no dirt landings.
Another is door size to get stretchers in and out, but most planes have this issue.

Thanks w0mbat. Any idea if you had a PC12 come out of Indonesia this week and fly down to Jandakot?

I was informed by someone up north that a PC12 transited Port Hedland from Denpasar and flew on to Jandakot on the 18th Jan??

Thanks also for the rego. Do you know what it's previous identity was?
