as a skydiver with 3000+ rides ....it may have been a competitor to the NZ Pac 750 XL. We had the fastest Caravan for a bit... Garret upgrade (900HP) .. no seats but, 20 skydivers. 9 mins to 14'000 ft ? 'Apparently' the Pac is more economical for skydiving. This does seem small for a turbine...
Nice aircraft. Looks a bit like a modified Caravan, perhaps that was the intent. I would like to see it used on rougher terrain that what is depicted here. Performance characteristics look nice on your home page to include useful loads, stall speeds, cruise and fuel consumption. Still, I am skeptical of tri-gear aircraft getting into very rough short fields. Be interested to hear more.
Paul and Dave, very nicely done! This is great. I might have to pick your brains for arial photography tips though your natural talent might be something impossible to learn. Good work over there! Eric Rutter

I'm embarrassed by my last post. As the title says, it's a Quest Kodiak. Duh...

I think it's a Cessna 207. The Caravan is a 208.

Thank God for the dedicated combination of manufacturer, MAF and the pilots.
