PILATUS AIRCRAFT FULL FACTORY TOUR in SWITZERLAND! 

Steve great video. Thank you for showing us the factory of a great plane.

PC24 is an amazing aircraft - the Australian Royal Flying Doctor Service were a launch customer, ability to land on dirt strips and then get patients back to hospital over long distances at jet speeds is a game changer.

I feel very humbled when I see what these people are doing. Huuuuuge respect.

Everyone talks about the PC-12 but to me the PC-24 is the most amazing. Its ability to operate on dirt strips and takeoff in 3000 feet to blows away everything else on the market. The TBM is my favorite TP but the PC-24 is my favorite jet. I love the factory tours since I started as a machinist and am now a mechanical engineer. Thank you for making this video!

The planes are amazing but more amazing to me are the awesome machines that build the things. Also that lady has mad skills with her hand-drawn artwork!

Great aircraft in an amazing home base. Swiss manufacturing is exemplary.

Steveo, spill the beans. You were not there merely as a tourist, were you? Perhaps a bit of factory training going on?

Absolutely huge Pilatus fan! Fell in love with the PC-12 and the capability when I was young. Still hands down my favorite plane

Thank you for this amazing and awe inspiring video! Over decades, I worked with both Swissair and Crossair, and was an independent airline technical representative to Douglas and Boeing. Daily, I watched how aircraft were built on production and delivery lines, and Pilatus was always renown for its supreme quality. Visiting industrial mechanical shops and watchmaking facilities, I have long admired what I term "The Swiss Culture of Quality". It's everywhere! Take a look at the Pilatus facilities; extremely clean, well organized and you can instantly tell the quality and drive of its people. The same is true throughout the country in countless ways, inspired by unique beauty and a deep desire to create only the very best that can be obtained. Bravo gentlemen! Your example continues to inspire me to do better! I only wish we in America could come close to this level of craftsmanship and quality!

Just started flying the PC12 NG with PlaneSense. Amazing plane to fly and magnificently crafted

Thx Stevo...fine integration of craftsmanship and automation. You can tell employees are happy and proud of their work. Quality aircraft is the result.

One GREAT manufacturing tour of one GREAT aircraft!

Oh Steveo, If I had known you are in Switzerland, I would have made a lot to meet you on a drink. I suffer from some kind of multiple sclerosis and therefore my radius has decreased at lot. I imagined 1000 times sitting on the right seat next to you and flying into a sunset somewhere in Florida. Now that you have visited Pilatus, I want to say not more but thank you for making your flying accessible to me. Take care, fly safe! Magnus

Boeing needs to hire Pilatus to advise them on how to build planes with the highest level of quality control and modern manufacturing techniques.

Don’t know why but the search for the paint shop was my favorite part of the video.

Awesome! Very nice factory and it looks like excellent quality of workmanship. Thanks for taking us along. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🇺🇸👊🏻

Thanks to all for this fantastic factory tour👍 Incredible to follow the production process from start to finish and see the detail involved. What a great place to work. State of the art👍💥

PILATUS make the best planes in the world! Fantastic Suisse finish and reliable as your Suisse watch.

A fantastic video, wish it was even longer! Pilatus makes an awesome product.

I've been on 3 aircraft plant tours. Twice to Cirrus in Duluth Minnesota just before their Cirrus Jet went into production. The other time was at Cessna in Wichita Kansas. At Cessna they were certifying the Cessna Citation X and they were working on the JPATS Trainer entry which wasn't selected. At Cessna I saw the Caravan line as well as one of the Citation lines. It's cool seeing how the plane starts with one part and grows to a fully built plane. In the Twin Cities I've also been to the Ballistic Recovery Systems plant at Fleming Field in South St Paul. They make the Airplane parachute for Cirrus planes, as well as parachutes for supply drops for the US Military.

That was an awesome behind-the-scenes look. Amazing precision in details. Fell in love with the PC-12 at AOPA 1998 in Palm Springs, CA.

Thanks for making an honest to God factory tour that features the people that work there instead of inserting your personality all over the video. I normally dread these kind of "tours" because you really don't learn much and usually have to deal with an over the top host. Not here! A great idea to mix having the factory folks and yourself alternate hosting. And the short snippets of you and your wife (again, something I usually dread) were entertaining because they were short and mostly AFTER I learned something. Great job. Neat plane.

Very interesting, all Pilatus are said to be amazing planes, I love them and it's great that this "little" company makes such great airplanes. Swiss clocks quality !

Wow Steve. Finally I see you in a Pilatus. (As I have mentioned in comments of the past) Since not knowing why You are over there. I will just wish you enjoy yourselves. Can't wait to see see you flying one of those.... 👍🏻👏🏻

Pilatus Paint Facilty is here in Broomfield Colorado. (KBJC). Awesome Company for sure

Lovely video, impressive to see how clean and organized everything is, and funny to see you were first visited Pilatus factory and not Daher 😄 Big Pilatus fan here

The next new chapter for Steveo in a PC-12 perhaps, or maybe even a PC-24? Loved the tour, thanks so much!

State of art tech, Swiss precision engineering... a fascinating view of how a Pilatus is designed and constructed. Thanks, Stevio.

The assembly buildings are quite nice laminated wood architecture.

Steve congrats on expanding your focus and leveraging your viewership to explore other areas of the aviation world. A suggestion for your next one: Boom Supersonic.

Great video, as a retired corporate pilot I’ve seen my share of new aircraft builds, never gets old. I was somewhat shocked when you were in that completed aircraft with what looked like regular shoes on, I’ve only seen booties or bare socks in new aircraft. LOL

Thanks Steveo for sharing! This was really cool to see especially since I just passed my 135 ride just yesterday with my first charter job! We exclusively fly Pilatus aircraft. I’ve been watching your channel for a very long time and greatly appreciate your work!👍

The PC-24 cockpit looks AMAZING

Always amazed at any factory tour but it’s really special when it’s for such a beautiful aircraft. Maybe a TBM tour next?

Amazing tour Steveo. Truly a great experience. It reminded me of Embraer. My father was one of the first employees at Embraer and I was raised going there all the time and hung out with their pilots.

Look forward to those videos flying the Pilatii

Thanks for the great videos on Pilatus which is my favourite planes. Great work !

Auric Goldfinger's factory building: *Auric Enterprises A.G.* .

Pilatus PC-12 or PC-24 are great planes in their respective categories. Would be great to see more content with either one!

i feel Steve is going to be flying a Pilatus soon..

Right On! Stevie. Good to see you back Flying again and more great and Kool videos.

💫Thank you Steve'O for this great tour!! PC-24 ALL THE WAY, with all due respect for the PC-12NGX,PC21,PC7💫

Beautiful, thanks for creating the video and showing the beautiful Pilatus factory ;D

Very nice and enjoyable tour to see how these planes are made and how everyone work as one to put all this together in a jaw-dropping natural Swiss setting. Bring back fond memories of my visit. Hint: There are a few PC-12's in India but not a PC-24 yet. It is only matter of time the first launch customer for this awesome jet shows up. Enjoy rest of your stay, Steve.

красивые дорогие самолеты. швейцарцы крутые ребята. конечно им есть чем гордиться

Thanks for making this video. Fascinating process and such talented people.

Great video to show young people who might pursue a career in this sector of aviation. 🤩

Freude Herrscht !!! Danke viel mal für diese Eindrucksvolle Präsentation , der PILATUS FLUGZEUG WERKE in Stans-Staat , wo ich 1983 eine Schnupperlehre , zum Flugzeug bau Spengler , machen durfte !

Fantastic. Great job, Pilatus team!

i want to see more of the wood structure hanger in the final assembly building

Great job, SteveO! Quite literally a riveting look at the Pilatus operation! 😊

Amazing tour, and holy cow what a place and team - might have to watch this video several times, very jealous. Thank you Pilatus for the showcase & access. Steve are you living and working there now or something?

Steveo: hi from Alberta, Canada. Absolutely a great idea very enjoyable. The extremely high level of Swiss innovation required to produce such a precision and beautiful brand of aircraft is clearly evident. Thanks to Pilatus for allowing you to show us a glimpse of their facilities, processes and finished product. Thanks

Great video Steve! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to some views from the cockpit at 30k feet.

Took a private tour there in Stans back in Sept. 2013. It was phenomenal!!! Amazing video!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Did you know that the factory was used in the James Bond film Goldfinger.

Another great video - fun& educational to see construction skills !

Heck I live in Switzerland and haven’t been in the factory. It’s located in the center of the country just south of Luzern. Beautiful area

Wonderful aircraft.Wish I was a pilot and could fly one of them.Thk you.

Thank you for sharing the tour. Incredible!!! Pilatus makes a great plane.

Wow!! Love how the company grounds are nuzzled into the hillside. 😮

G-DAY STEVEO amazing video thank u for the tour very nice. Also congrat's for u're engagement.

I'm curious as to what the difference is for the aircraft that go to the Pilatus completion center in Colorado. I've heard they fly from Switzerland "Green" and get paint & interiors completed there.

Super interesting video. Was in Stans/Engelberg area for a video shoot just couple of days ago, would have loved to meet you in person! Should you end up in Zurich one day, pleeeeease let me/us know! ;-)

A tour of Gulfstream would be super fantastic..

Now I need one... Just have to get the money first... AMAZING video!!! Bucket List........................

Great to see you back on your channel!!

Super interesting content! Gorgeous factory and high quality product.

I've been waiting for a Pilatus video! Im anxious to get you take on the PC-12

Awesome content in this video Steve. I have never seen this modular assembly line build for jet plains before.

Steveo. You are my number 1 when it`s about planes. I like what you are doing now. We all trust you and please make that work for you.

That was super cool steveo, awesome content as always👌I can't wait to see the flights over the Alps👍

i like the flag display, makes a great impression.

bravo pour votre avion , il est magnifique !

Would have loved to see some pc21s they're an amazing aircraft

Great tour of this aircraft factory.

Very interesting tour. My son flew the U-28 which is the U.S. Air Force military version of the PC-12.

Amazing quality and workmanship.

SUV of the sky. Great product.

Steveo, what an awesome video. I was in Lucerne about 8 years ago. I saw a few PC 12s in primer flying over the lake. I wondered what the factory was like. Thanks for finally getting me my tour. Great video.

Oh man, this is a fun one Steve, good job!

Nice tour. Got a feeling there's a Pilatus aircraft in your future...

Fantastic! If you have anymore footage of the process, please show it. The electric cable harness assembly footage was very much appreciated. The young age of the workforce😊

Awesome video....thank you Stevo ......Soooo miss the PC-6......😢

Well done Steve

Wow, that was awesome! Appreciate bringing this content to your channel. Do they provide factory tours to the public?

Two things struck me. The first is how nice a facility it is, how could you not love going to work every day! The second was the combination of automation and manual steps. Pretty sweet! Can't wait to see the Pilatus Tour of Switzerland!

Pilatus is the best ✈️🥳👍

Good morning from Minnesota! Fun episode!

Very nice tour of a very nice facility and aircraft!

Hey Steveo, enjoy your content, and of course Pilatus! Can't believe you visited my tiny hometown, Stans!! Nostalgia hit hard. Greetings from the Bay Area.

I didn't get the name of the gentleman Pilot. He was a perfect instructor for the trip; friendly, calm, dedicated. What a treat to all of us your followers Steve. Thank you!🛬

Greetings. This was just fabulous! My favourite aeroplane maker Pilatus presented by steve1kinevo. I have followed Steve from day one (same with Pilatus). Indeed a Happy camper today. Thank you all. One day, yes one day. LOL

Obviously a very class operation. Thanks for the tour Steve.

Steveo...in my home country...not more than 80miles away...hope you had a good time in switzerland! A great fan who knows every tbm movie on your channel! You helped me a lot during covid-time...lots of dreaming in front of my big screen with your feeds between my flights in FS2020! And it was a torture, to wait such a long time during your job change. Hope you'll make a lot more in your 940! (I check every day, if my bell is screening a new video...) Thank you for all that!

Very interesting video, thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the pc24 in the air

thanks steve...outstanding content. the blond bomb was nice eye candy too!!

I do enjoyed it Captain. Thank you.

Amazing Pilatus tour SteveO Love it. Maybe you should transfer to PC24 type rating and fly this small and fun jet in the future.

Ho this is just very nice to watch you make my day 😊 I love palatus aircraft's 24
