@JIMMYLINE if you get it used maybe 1.1mil but the new ones with floats will set you back 2.3mil i saw it at the 2011 Sun-N-Fun fly in it was a amazing airplane

I was comparing the Kodiak against strips where 206's run into problems, ie sidesloped, wet runways, gravel, and muddy strips. Guess it's pointless to try to compare either the Kodiak or 206 against an airplane that actually excels at those strips. ie Helio. There is still going to ba a void at 20% or more of the strips where Helios routinely operates, as the margin of safety will be minimal for the Kodiak.

idiot. You don't know JACK. Different airplanes designed for different missions.

What a great airplane!!! Hopefully I will be blessed enough to fly one in a couple of years through MAF

@pathyskeeter it depends how rough. we all know the kodiak will not land where a 36 inch tire super cub will. you have to think about the kodiak as a mission plane just like the cub it is made for one single purpose and im sure kodiak guys didnt think about landing on a gravel bar LOL!

@WarSawGS I agree. caravan is like a fat 206. its just not made for the bush!
-
I love this airplane! But, will never own one because I don't make that much money! Why does flying have to be so expensive??? This baby will set you back $1.1 million.

It's STOL up to what weight?
A Caravan is better on longer wel prepared runways for Commuter or freight operations. I fly one for a FedEx feeder. Great for what it was designed for but it's not a true STOL airraft. If I needed something to get out of 1000ft runways I would get a Kodiak or a Porter . Kodiak is also a great plane for the private owner who flies with 6 passengers or less most of the time. Caravan is overkill in that case plus the Kodiak is faster. Both great planes for their specific mission.

It's kinds funny how people are on here talking bad about this plane. I work at quest and the Caravan is NOTHING LIKE THE KODIAK. There are alot of features on the Kodiak that the Caravan can not touch, Look at some of the video's on Youtube, The Kodiak has taken off in as short as 290 feet, yes it was empty but lets see the Caravan do that. thats the only thing I haft to say, Dont bash on a plane that is ment to do good in this world.
