The co-pilot flashes a shaka as this PC-12 executes a very energetic starboard turn over this photographer after departure from San Carlos airport.  The Pilatus PC-12 is a very popular single-engine turboprop passenger and cargo aircraft manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland.  First flown in 1991, the PC-12 holds the distinction of being the best selling pressurized, single-engine, turbine-powered aircraft in the world with over 2,000 produced. Introduced in 2019, NGX is the marketing name for a PC-12/47E with an upgraded engine, engine controls, 290 kt cruise, 10% larger windows, redesigned interior, and updated avionics.
