Fellow Hobbyist Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Nice high wing you have built there Le Boz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 That looks really nice. For some odd reason the Turbo-Porter has been a favorite for many years. I was so glad to finally get a Roden kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

le_boz Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thank you for your comments guys, I will post more build in the future. Well no James Bond figure ? I have to say not this time.... Actually, the scene, was made by the Swiss Air Force, where they Jumped from on PC6, and free fall to another one. They did it up to 96 times to get it right. If I remember correctly it was in 95 or 94 at Magadino Air Force base in Ticino. I like Air Glacier, that remember my old time in Switzerland, Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 These are a couple of photos I recieved (via snail mail!) from Pilatus many years ago: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
le_boz Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I believe the Photo of this Swiss Porter was made in the Sahara, when Air Glacier had the coverage the Race Paris Dakar in 1986. They lost one helicopter during the race with the son of the company owner. A french rock star was on board as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
