Hey Ollie, very cool. Would make a good camera platform :wink: Sharp looking machine. That Thunderbird Turbo Beaver belongs to the Eaton family.

Happy Landings,

Eric

Cool! I always thought the Cessna 208 looked like the missing DHC follow up to the Beaver and Otter.

Nice ride Ollie!

I want to fly one of those too. What are the pilot/license requirements to fly a Caravan? Is your company a charter or commuter airline? Maybe its gonna be a meat bomber. Probably not, I just like saying meat bomber.

Very nice airplane. Have fun for us!

Hi guys.

Thanks.

The requirements for the 208 is to follow the Flight Safety course on it and you'll be fine.

We're operating it private.

:wink:

COOL!

How come no luggage pod? Is it going to end up on floats?
I talked to Mike Goulian this afternoon, he stopped in inbetween legs in his Caravan.(Linear Air) Its keeping those guys very busy.

No floats for her.

Speed is the key, and with the seating arrangement we'll have, we won't be needing the pod.
