EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the Pilatus PC-6-A Turbo-Porter HB-FCT on display at the Paris Air Show in the early 1960s, with air show serial number 137. The Pilatus PC-6-A Turbo-Porter was an advanced version of the original PC-6 Porter, featuring a more powerful Turbomeca Astazou turboprop engine. However, as seen in this image, the Astazou-powered variant was not as popular as its predecessor due to poor engine reliability. The Pilatus PC-6-A Turbo-Porter was a versatile utility aircraft, capable of performing various roles, including passenger transport, cargo carrying, and even medical evacuation. Despite its potential, the engine issues hindered its success, and the original PC-6 Porter continued to be the preferred choice for many operators. This photograph offers a glimpse into aviation history, showcasing an intriguing chapter in the development of the Pilatus PC-6 series.
