Alaska Floatplane Super Power, Texas Turbine Caravan

[motokid032]

Jesus Christ, that is like the John Deere of float planes!

[ryno200]

Does the Caravan still retain its single pilot IFR certification with that upgrade state side?

[iRECKONER]

what is the make / model of that plane! I WANT ONE!!!!!

[flynmid]

@iRECKONER Cessna 208 Caravan on floats

[heinrich97]

@iRECKONER Do you have two million dollars?

[iRECKONER]

@heinrich97

is that the cost ? HA wow the cost of aircraft AMAZE me. I recently got a sub to "Flying" magazine and the specs and cost of them are very interesting. I'm a big Railroad guy and it's insane the cost of a plane in this video is the same as the cost of the most advanced 4400 horse power locomotive. HA if I had to choose I'd go with the locomotive but of coarse I'm a train guy :)

[heinrich97]

@iRECKONER Well, I don't sell those things but yeah... some 100.000s more or less... A cool plane, no question, but expensive to buy and operate. Good for a business where it is actually needed though. But for private use... I don't know :)

@heinrich97

I'm a huge Muskie and Pike fisherman and I dream of having the ability to fly in and out of Canada someday. guess I'll need to focus on a raise if I want to have the luxury of being in this plane :) I love the capacity it has too, seems I could stow the kitchen sink and also have a pilot and a few humans with me.

[tonyktx44]

Guy was LIGHT !

[iRECKONER]

wow these take off in such small lengths!!! What is capacity of people / cargo ?

[gammaraider]

@iRECKONER I've seen them in 8 to 12 passenger configurations (not including pilot/copilot). As a cargo plane, they carry up to around 850 kgs (1900 lbs). But that's the standard 675 hp version. Don't know what this 1000 hp model will do!

[aleutianflyboy]

Garavan? Cool.



[heinrich97]

And nice sound, too!

[CessnaGFE]

[tjohn6041]

@CessnaGFE two caravans

[CessnaGFE]

@tjohn6041 haha!! yeah!

[justincgs]

impressive... most impressive...

[Twostones00]

Performance like that makes smart guys write bad checks.

[SuperHornetDriver1]

Wow. There was only about 2 seconds between the time he throttled up to the time he was already on the step. Great performance.

[texasturbines]

I believe that he was at about 7500lbs.

[poexxope]

What was the TO weight?

[Eduardo79294]

Filé de mais

[u27driver]

Nice!!

[Nighthawke70]

Talk about a seriously short TO run. The winds looked like they were less than 5 at the nose, am I right? Does it look like the Caravan might be the heir to the Otter?

[kubaSWAT]

nice plane, why landing lights are blinkin ??

[Apollo580]

@kubaSWAT collision avoidance.

[1BustedMyth]

Thats some serious power, fantastic STOL performance

[ctquicksilver]

[777Juanjo]

Why and How they do that the landing lights are flashing ????

[1BustedMyth]

@777Juanjo, Collision avoidance.
