March 31, 201214 yr It was the Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter in the movie, and yes, you can get one for FS, although I seem to recall Mel Gibson's character, Gene, refers to it as a Helio Courier in the movie although I might be mistaken on that, anyway, Air America did genuinely use the PC-6, and the Helio Courier was sort of similar to it anyway, so I'm just being picky.http://www.fsd-international.com/Al Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

You'll notice the pt6 powered Pilatus is at times disguised as a Garret powered one for the more bold stunts. Long story, but I can explain when not at work.A helio is referred to in the movie, but I don't think that's an inaccuracy. Helios were used a lot in that operation, and one makes a short appearance in the film.Also, the guys responsible for the Katana 4X are developing a PC-6 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
