The Cessna Caravan is in the midst of some pretty major modification programmes these days.

The Aerotwin (http://www.aerotwin.com/newslet/index.html) Garrett powered Caravan appears to be meeting it's projected performance goals, will make that amphib POP right out, just like the rest of 'em!

Meanwhile, Soloy (http://www.soloy.com/CV42/Caravan-42_files/frame.htm) appears to be focussing on 1 big, rather than 2 PT- 6's, as their future way.

Pretty cool to be seeing the right amount of power in this ships to achieve some meaningful performance increases. Amazing what a few extra horses will do! Amphibious C-208B next?
