@ToomuchBTUstoday Actually I forget how long it would take sometimes it a tough old plane with no performance enhancing gear.

@skydive911 I jumped out of a 1956 Cessna 182 in the late 1980's we sat and talked about performance vs cost vs new designs.The nose of this 4 blade pilatus looks like it might just mount something inline out of a P51 or whatever.It tkes a bit of effort to get to 13-5 for me that was 15 minutesor more but your operational costs will be higher fuel is just the beginning and probably the cheapest cost.I havent jumped in a number of years.i only have an A licence it's fun to look at this again :)

@ToomuchBTUstoday lol rotax... did you think it was a heavy-duty ultralight?In 1959 they used to fly around with piston engines with like 350 HP or so.Nowdays with the PT-6 engine which is most likely the most used and most reliable gas turbine ever build we have like 680 SHP.
