We got our hands on exclusive video of perhaps not the coolest but certainly the fastest plane that’s ever flown into the High Sierra Fly-In.

The event is held each fall on a vast dry lake, Dead Cow Lake, in remote Nevada. The jet, the newly introduced Pilatus PC-24, wasn’t breaking any rules or violating any POH restrictions. It was meant to fly to and from such surfaces. But seeing it in action—too freaking cool!
