Pilatus is pleased to announce that noted philanthropist and leading general
aviation advocate Thomas Haas has recently taken delivery of a factory new
PC-12 NG.

Widely recognized in aviation circles, Mr. Haas is a current Board Member of the
Air Safety Foundation for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. This well
known non-profit foundation works to improve aviation safety, preserve commu-
nity airports, and to encourage people from all walks of life to get involved in
aviation and learn to fly.

Mr. Haas plans to use his new PC-12 NG for a range of charitable foundation
work as well as personal and business travel. In addition to his work at the Air
Safety Foundation, Mr. Haas also serves as Chair of The Corporation of the
William Penn Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving the quality of
life in the Greater Philadelphia area.

Speaking from his New Hampshire base, Mr. Haas was clearly impressed with
the scope and variety of mission capabilities that his new PC-12 NG offers,
“During our evaluation, my team and I examined critical factors including perfor-
mance, safety record, direct operating costs and environmental impact. The
PC-12 NG quickly moved to the front of our short list as no other aircraft could
accept the key conditions we placed upon this aircraft acquisition. We look
forward to a long relationship with Pilatus Aircraft and the team at Pro Star
Pilatus Center”.

Thomas Bosshard, President and CEO of Pilatus Business Aircraft, added “We
feel very fortunate to have Mr. Haas as our customer, and are especially proud
to know his PC-12 NG will be supporting his generous charitable work and
general aviation advocacy in the years to come.”

The single-turbine powered PC-12 NG is popular as a cost effective and respon-
sible solution for business travel. Companies striving to operate as quickly and
efficiently as possible have found it to be an ideal tool to increase productivity.
Its low acquisition and operating costs combined with a large cabin, standard
cargo door, and ability to fly into short and unimproved airfields, uniquely
distinguish the PC-12 NG from other aircraft.
