I was in Pierre, SD last Thursday a.m. and a PC-12 stopped there to get fuel. Had a nice paint job on it but didn't get a chance to snap a picture. I
wouldn't mind it at all if we had a bunch of those in our fleet, but the PC-12 cannot carry the payload of the 208. The operating costs over time are
higher, too.

Here are some pics from my trip to South Dakota last week:

First of all, this was my rental car Big Grin

Not a good picture of the interior with heads up display...couldn't get a good shot at night with the iPhone:

Newly renovated FBO in Pierre,SD. Use to be called Capital City Aviation. Now it's called Mustang Aviation:

More corporate jets lining up on the PIR ramp due to hunters gearing up for Pheasant season:

Couldn't get a very good shot of the Cheyenne 400 at Aberdeen,SD. Too many airplanes in this particular hangar:

Onboard the 757-200 in Sioux Fall,SD on Friday. Getting ready to jumpseat back to Memphis. Another 757 sits idle in FSD
on Fridays and does not depart till Saturday a.m.:

Nice shots Joe Smile

That aircraft in the hanger sure does look hot. Is the 757 any good to fly, or do you prefer Cessna Caravan? Smile

*Drools slightly* mmmm....757s..... lol

Re: C208 Flight Pics...Yes, They Are Real - timtomairways - 02-10-2011

i like that car. altho me personally im a turck man. i have a hard time getting in cars caues ive been in big behicals all my life. the only cars i would
ever own are the lamborghini countach (Jet Black with Glod Trim) or a DeLorean (when this baby hits 88mph, your going to see some serious ****)

as for the rest. i like the 2 shots at the end. but all are very nice.

I could only hope to fly a 757. I fly around in the Caravans and ATR-42s and -72s. I always jumpseat on the big birds from Memphis to other major
hubs....they range from 757s to Md-11s. The 757 has 3 cramped jumpseats aft and outside of the cockpit. Depending on which 757 I am on, the
temperature gets quite cold in the "cabin" area....inadequate electrical heater in that area on some aircraft. Fortunately that deficiency is getting
corrected. Last week I was lucky to be on 2 different 757s that had decent heaters, so I didn't freeze my *** off lol

At any rate, all of the crewmembers I chat with love the airplane but want to get wide body time and pay. That's why they are hoping the company will
buy 767s in the near future. It may happen after all.

767s?? :O 777s would be sooo much nicer!! lol

Re: C208 Flight Pics...Yes, They Are Real - Joeflyer - 04-10-2011

We already have the 777 in service Big Grin

Joe, I have every faith in the world after knowing you loe these many decades that if you put your mind to it and persevere that you can
work your way up to running the helicoptor deliveries to General Dewitt Spain airport.. Godspeed young man and don't let your fixed wing
time get you down. May the tail rotor be with you.

I forgot to toss you a beer. Sorry. Beer
