Impressive landing on the first 40' of runway.
This is a Pilatus sales video must be from the 60s or 70s it has some great flying, super STOL, and is complete w groovy music.

Even more impressive takeoffs-- short ground run, then sustained extreme climb angle. Awesome!

Re: A photo of the most badass bushplane ever

Very cool video. I first saw a Porter while sitting outside of the pilot shack at the McCall Jumper base the summer I was flying for them. I was in awe watching it takeoff and land in insanely short distances and drooled all over the ramp. The Beaver might be a bit easier on the eyes, but the Porter is simply amazing in the performance arena.

Would loved to see the size of the cameras that they were hanging out the door to take those vids. I also loved the drop door in the floor. Pretty cool.
