Soulbird has introduced Pilatus PC-24 operations, adding its first PC-24 jet to its FAA Part 135-certified fleet while retiring its last Citation Mustang, according to ch-aviation research.

The newly added Pilatus PC-24 (N984VE, msn 291) is a 2.4-year-old jet configured for eight passengers. Previously registered as N984PC, it was based at Indianapolis Executive Airport before joining Soulbird’s charter fleet. The aircraft arrived at Oklahoma City Wiley Post on December 18, 2024, and was re-registered as N984VE on January 22, 2025.

Simultaneously, Soulbird has retired its final Citation Mustang (N22EM, msn 510-0047), a 17.7-year-old jet that had been in service since 2020. The aircraft was based at Oklahoma City Wiley Post before making its final flight on December 26, 2024, from Kansas City Downtown. It later performed two test flights before relocating to Wichita Eisenhower on March 10, 2025, where it remains parked.

Following these fleet adjustments, Soulbird’s Part 135 fleet now includes:

Pilatus PC-24 (new addition)
Citation M2
Four Citation Jet 4s
Citation Sovereign+

Soulbird, a subsidiary of Oklahoma Aviation, also operates a flight school and partners with Avion Aero, a Part 145 repair station at Oklahoma City Wiley Post.
