A nice pic would be good too!
Many Drop Zones throughout Australia have placed orders for this model with the turbine. The performance stats for it are that it will out climb any C208 or 750XL whilst taking over 20 skydivers.....now we are getting into skyvan/twotter material here
It has also been "rumoured" that there is a newer model coming out (would of been similar that that one you flew in your check flight) the strutless C209 series..... This series is being designed to compete with its brother the high performance single C210...a RG model is also in the pipeline....
