Pilatus PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter D-FROH of K&D Aviation operated by “Accademia di Paracadutismo - Area Delta 47”. Casale Monferrato Airport, June 1, 2026. It is one of several PC-6/A1-H2 Porters with a piston engine, later modified with the installation of a PT6A-27 turbine. Built in 1967 with construction number 654 and test marks HB-FDT, it was initially used by the Aero Club d'Alsace with the registration F-BSTF. Pilatus converted it into a Turbo Porter in 2003 and it was used by Skydive Westerwald, until 2018, under its current German identity. At Casale Monferrato, various other aircraft were used to carry skydivers to altitude, such as the Turbo Porter HB-FIS and HB-FFW, the Technoavia SMG-92 Turbo Finist HA-YDI, the Short SC-7 Skyvan 3M OY-SUY and the Let L-410 Turbolet OM-LHB.
