The Pilatus PC-6, also known as the Turbo-Porter, is a versatile aircraft that has left its mark in various aviation sectors. From the HB-FBZ model to the F-MMCC variant, this aircraft has proven its capabilities time and again. One notable version of the PC-6 is the Astazou-Porter F-NCQY Mirabel. With its powerful engine and sleek design, it stands out among other models. Similarly, the HB-HMN and HB-FEF versions showcase exceptional performance and reliability. The PC-6 Turbo Porter has been utilized by different organizations worldwide. For instance, Armee de l'Air's Nord 262D-51 95/F-RBAR/AR was spotted at RAF Finningley in 1990, demonstrating its military prowess. Furthermore, Aviation legere de l'armee de Terre employed the MCC/F-MMCC model circa 1995 for their Army Light Aviation operations. This exemplifies how this aircraft caters to diverse needs within armed forces. Swiss Air Force's V-623 msn 649 showcases another facet of PC-6 usage. Serving with lTsT7 at Payerne Air Base around 2000 highlights Switzerland's commitment to maintaining a strong air force presence. Even beyond Pilatus aircrafts, like de Havilland DH. 100 Vampire FB. 6 HB-RVE (msn 636), ex Swiss AF J-1082 from circa 2010 demonstrates Switzerland's rich aviation history. Whether it be military applications or civilian operations such as light aviation or air force deployments - from different variants like B2-H4 Turbo Porter to H2M Turbo Porter - these examples illustrate why the Pilatus PC-6 remains an iconic choice for many aviators across decades and continents.
