Such an invitation must be a dream come true for any pilot and aviation enthusiast! :) Also, I'll join Julien in being a little jealous about the PPL in the Alps in a SuperCub....Wow, what a way to learn to fly! :) Fascinating story from the Pilatus factory.

That's an ex airforce base, with two long runway, circled by mountains and lakes. Have a look at this video, it'll give you an idea: http://www.revver.com/video/932564/landing-and-take-off-in-buochs-lszc-in-a-da40-tdi/ And as far as I know, it's a standard SuperCub. @Julien: Pilatus is located at Buochs (LSZC) airport, which himself is pretty impressive.

Also, PPL in the <b>Alps</b> in a </b>SuperCub</b>... I'm jealous :-) I didn't know one could train for a PPL on a tailwheel aircraft. Is that a SuperCub with a PT6 inside? Do Pilatus have their own runway or are they located on the grounds of an airport?
