THE ULTIMATE MULTI-ROLE PLAYER: MEDIC, SOLDIER, POLICE OFFICER, SCOUT AND HERO. The PC-12 NG Spectre doesn’t just define special-mission versatility, it owns it. The Spectre can be quickly reconfigured for multiple roles. Nine passenger transport to full cargo. Med-vac. Airdrops and jumps. Sophisticated ISR operations. And common to all its roles: high-altitude, high-speed dash and long loiter capabilities, matched to very low costs of acquisition and operation. For the Spectre, it’s all in a day’s work.
