The PC-12

Awesome plane, capable of operating from short/unpaved fields, yet with a decent cruise speed/range, having a spacious cabin, good reliability and economy. IMHO ideal a/c for Air Ambulance. Not in Europe though, as EASA doesn't allow singles for commercial transport (w@nkers!)

The outfit I used to fly for now uses 2 Piaggio Avantis and are quite happy with them - no soft field capability, but the cruise speed is superb (for a turboprop). It all boils down how you want to use the aircraft...
