Cessna 208B Caravan Training: Fun Work!

Just as clothing makes the man, training makes the pilot. If so, then my past week at Flight Safety International, learning to fly and teach in the Cessna Caravan, was like ditching “off the rack” menswear for a custom suit. It fit perfectly and the experience was rewarding!

If you’re unfamiliar with the Cessna Caravan, think of it this way. If you were to write the next Indiana Jones movie, what single-engine turboprop would you select for Harrison Ford to fly in and out of remote airstrips, with enough hauling capacity to carry a small mercenary force? Not surprisingly...
