Pratt & Whitney Canada unveiled its certified PT9 turboprop at NBAA-BACE, with production planned in Alberta and additional certification efforts underway.

Instead of PT9, how about naming the engine the PT985! A lot of us still flying cut our teeth behind a couple of 985’s . Also spent 4 decades behind a couple of PT-6’s…..and throw in a couple of 305’s. P&W Dependable Engines broke the code a long time ago. I am sure the PT-9 will be another huge success. PS. I miss the smell of avgas and oil exhaust of a round engine.
