Pilatus Business Aircraft announced the sale of its 200th PC-12 during NBAA. The aircraft has been purchased by one Bryan Jones, president of Novamerican Steel. Jones is having a first class executive interior installed in his PC-12, and will take delivery of it early in 2000. In the meantime, his dealer, V. Kelner Pilatus Centre, has provided him with a "loaner" aircraft and crew. Pilatus said that Jones met with the owner of the 100th Pilatus, who "continues to be pleased with the aeroplane," according to a spokesman for the company. \rWorldwide buyers for the PC-12 include the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who have just accepted delivery of their seventh PC-12, and the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia. The Flying Doctors intends to add a sixth PC-12 to its fleet in 2000 and could increase its fleet by four more Pilatus aircraft if it earns approval for an additional aero-medical contract. \rThe PC-12 is available in several configurations, including executive, corporate commuter and combination versions. Sources at Pilatus said that about one in 10 PC-12s are in service as air ambulances, with commuter applications accounting for about one quarter of sales.
