I agree, Chris. Not a very friendly face.

I know that I’ve mentioned it before; in fact I found my original post on the
subject, from 7 Feb 10:
Subject: DZ 40-150 in action
Date: 7 February 2010 16:40:27 GMT

Well I received my DZ 40-150 in double-quick time and had a use for it
yesterday. I was on my own at work with 5 students to fly, but the weather was
very difficult: clear skies but with fog only 5 miles away to the north and
south, forecast to roll in. Since the students had travelled a long way to fly
I thought that I should at least have a go, but remain in sight of the airfield
in case the weather deteriorated suddenly. Well it did, and I had to zip back
quickly from a few miles away and 4,000ft. There was cloud already covering
most of the airfield and I had to dart under the stratus at around 300ft. As I
did so, Tower told me that there was another aircraft diverting from Cambridge,
a Pilatus PC12. When it landed I thought that it might be a spy machine of
some sort, not having heard of the registration before, nor having seen such a
machine in the colour. In addition, it had a pod on the starboard wing which I
took to be some sort of ECM device.
But it was just an exec jet carrying pax for a Danish company. I took a couple
of photos before I discovered that it wasn't on nefarious CIA business, then
went a bit closer and talked to the pilot.

Quite the aircraft. The cabin is actually larger than a King Air 200! Bet it's
quiet.

It's a nice way to travel if you can afford it. I watched the flight of
this party from their departure from Orlando to a local fuel and lunch
stop at our airport, then their takeoff for a customs stop in southern
Canada. The Pilatus PC-12 has a comfortable pressurized cabin and a
generous baggage compartment. 4 3/4 hours total flying time in two flights.
