NAC Air

I found these scans of an Airways magazine article from November 2007 about the company I was flying for NAC Air.
I thought I would preserve these and upload them onto this site by sharing them on here.

It's funny, all in who you talk to. Harvey F at JV hated the pc12 with a passion. It was just too expensive to operate and he said to me and many others that once it came off warrantee the maintenance costs would bring you to your knees.

Frank was very good at blowing smoke up people's asses. One thing that did amaze me was how instrumental FK was in getting single engine IFR certified for commercial aircraft in Canada.

Ironically Harvey also said the best money maker he ever operated was the bch99. Harvey did very well building it from 2 180's to a peak of a few years ago until Porter chased them back to basically where they started. I wonder how Perimeter is making out. He bailed at the right time. What a shame he didn't get a chance to enjoy it.

Harvey had an amazing video collection.

I would have liked the Pilatus. One company for whom I worked had a Caravan but received complaints about 'the single engine'. Got rid of it and bought a Twin Otter. Never did like the airplane: I used to tell peers that "We lost 20 knots and went back fifty years...)

However, them what flew it a lot in the north loved it.

I like it - the only good thing about the t otter was the heat - lol - as I have stated before DH Canada never produced a good aircraft after the tiger Schmidt. I'm a bad Canadian

I loved flying the PC-12, as my friend put it when stacked against the caravan.

"the caravan is like a Chevy and the Pilatus is a European Sports Car"
