Drove by superiors the other day and saw it to. Its a nifty looking airplane, but what is its advantages, if any, over the caravan that they have?

advantage of the quest is better short field performance compared to the van /due to lower gross wt and the pt6 750 hp engine vs 675hp of the 208 caravan

what it does well is and would be good at is a company like wolverine in ft simpson nt where avgas is really expensive and getting harder to get and many other places too

it will be as the yrs go by an excellent replacement aircraft for a the aging 206 /207 fleets / etc :smt014

I flew it on wheels and it was phenomenal!! I hear it isn't so good on floats but what I experienced was great.. I would think I could get it doing some pretty amazing things after a bit of time...
