Great airplane; I crewed one for a 135 operation a few years ago and am back in touch with them to start flying again next season. They ditched their Caravans on the summer runs to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket and just use the Pilatypus now. Where’s your home ‘drome?

The owners of a company that I used to work for had one. They had to sell it after their accountant embezzled $1M from them. It was really nice.

KPAO! My flight instructor might be getting a one day/week gig with a local operator, flying one of these for shits/giggles and jet time...

That’s the operation I fly for, Tradewind Aviation. They recently started operating out of TX but I’m not sure where they’re based.

LoL. I read that as Kapow! Hopefully that never happens in the pattern.

That’s how it’s said! :D Not to ATC, though... Indeed, sticking the landing is a bad thing, if you’re piloting...

Not too far away, Monmouth Field in NJ (KBLM) is called Kablam! because of the mix of fast & slow traffic. Apparently it’s led to a few puckering moments.

Ah! You’re in central NJ, no? I used to live in Lawrenceville and worked in Dayton/South Brunswick...
