Default SNA Dylan & Tupi - Pilatus PC-12

Get a set before they are gone, Dylan has a great deal on FC seats for your man-cave. Contact Dylan if you are interested in a set.

I picked my set up from him today at SNA. Dylan flew them in on his Pilatus PC-12. This was like a meeting of the great aviation minds from DAC.

Dylan's Pilatus PC-12 is a beautiful plane. Thanks for the tour Dylan. Here are some pictures.

The Pilatus is so sexy! This aircraft is so beautiful, just love her. My GOD, I didn´t know this plane had a glass cockpit. Great!

Hey Tupi, are you going to Hawaii with that shirt? Just kidding. BTW, where did ytou get those first class seats? Amazing.

Dylan, you´re a luck man. Flying this Swiss machine must be heaven.

Cool! I wish I can have a pair of first class seats. Just don't have the room for them. Which Airline are those from? Nice that you got to see his PC-12 and meet him. If you are ever in the Chicago Area give me a message!

Contact Dylan he has more of these FC seats. I understand from Dylan they came from this former airline.

They used to fly to FLL all the time, when I worked there in the late 90s.

Ted, good meeting you finally! Had fun chattin with you in the plane, sorry I was late

Folks, hey came out of WinAir's first 737, N902WC when the were strictly a sports charter plane. This aircraft flew the Utah Jazz, and various other NBA, and NHL teams. It also flew a couple of rock bands. The AC was set up in an all Fist Class config:

Dylan, those seats rock.

I guess I will have to suffer with my TWA L-1011 coach seats. I know where there is a first class set out of the same airplane, but alas, I must con the owner out of them.

No problem with you being late. The FOB you arrived at, Atlantic Aviation, had lots of free Starbucks coffee, donuts, and a free wifi connection. As a matter of fact, its such a great place to hang out, the next time I'm in the SNA area for a meeting, I'll stop there instead of the Starbucks on MacArthur.

I love the seats, but the wife does not. When I showed her them in the garage with the tray tables up, she said good, you can eat out here.

It's belongs to the company he flies for. But he did tell me he can fly it to Paris and London on the weekend.

Great shots to the both of you!

Dylan, next time you're heading to MCO or ORL, give me a heads up and I'll take some shots for you. And maybe we can talk for more than 20 seconds unlike a few weeks ago when you were rollin' through MCO! lol

Uh, okayyy. Any side trips to Melbourne or Auckland, Dylan? Great that you guys met, maybe if you're in the Newport News/Virginia Beach area first week of October you could meet up with Steve Fazer and me on my trip to Matthews, VA. Or even if you're in D.C., better yet. The chairs look great, but I'm afraid my wife's reaction would be the same as your wife. They'd be sitting in the carport with Boston ferns on them.

Sweet set from the T-Dub! That was a good score! All I got was a the seat cushion bottom and back, and a couple of tray tables from DL's last Tristar flight...wish I could actually have the frames http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/...-8-1-01-a.html

You had a chance to ride on it last July, remember? As luck would have it, I will be in PDX tonight, come on out.

You got it Justin, I don't even think it was 20 seconds!

I don't think Faze would be too keen on the idea, but I do get into D.C. fairly regularly, I'll hit you up next trip.

I finally got the FC seats in my man cave. They look pretty sharp.

The final position will be pulled away from the wall. I'm still arranging furniture. You got to love the leg room though. I'm still in process of wiring a plug for my laptop and mounting a small flexible reading light.

Don't forget to have an automated message on your laptop play, asking you to put your seat in an upright position stow your table, and fasten your seatbelt for landing
