        The Pilatus Porter is a swiss-manufactured plane featuring
excellent reliability, low-speed stability, climb performance and
short takeoff/landing distances.  It can carry over its own empty weight- 
over 1 1/2 tons - and take off in 500 feet!  This .sim tries to faithfully
reproduce the characteristics of the original-(except for the price!)
