Back in 2024, we undertook an exciting venture to bring a Pilatus PC12/NG from France to Darwin, Australia. The administrative side was challenging — since the plane was registered in Oz, I had to obtain an Australian validation to proceed.

Day 6-7
Just before landing at Singapore Seletar on day5, our plane experienced a sudden fuel imbalance that required maintenance before we could continue our journey to Darwin, Australia.
As a result, the aircraft had to undergo maintenance for a couple of days. Wings Over Asia did an excellent job assisting us and enabling us to continue our journey smoothly.

Our final destination, a strange mix of emotions. I’m so glad we made it, yet a bit sad it’s already over. After so much preparation before and during the trip, these few days have flown by.
This is incredibly addictive… when is the next one?
