Some kind of SEL record?

Hi all,

I've never flown to the Virgin Islands so I thought I would take my Pilatus PC-12 there.

What do you think?

Well, as for 10hr flight... Except that it should be extremely boring...
I wonder, does Pilatus have a lavatory on board?
If not, how could those pax be happy???

yes the PC-12 has a nice lavatory. It is right behind the cockpit.

I was thinking on this VIP flight I would put in sleeping bunks like a sleeper car on hotel train in europe.

Wouldn't it be nice to leave Cold Minneapolis after work on friday night. Sleep in a real bed on your way to the virgin islands and wake up there saturday morning rested. then have two whole days on the beach and then come back Sunday night and be ready and rested for work monday morning.

Now that is what I call first class. And a great wekend.

Cool! Good to see the PC-12 is doing well. I'm taking mine on a world tour using FSP. Currently in Africa. Crossed the Atlantic from the mouth of the
Amazon to the Cape Verde Islands, after going down South America, and doing a leg to Antarctica, and back up to the Falklands. Probably at least one
of the legs was around 2000 NM. Love the PC-12, its probably my favorite plane.
