Artie, How great! Wish I could have been there. I love the Cessna Caravan. Got to ride in the right seat once. Plane was carrying a bunch of skydivers. No, I didn't jump and yes, I had to wear a parachute anyway, just to ride along. It's like a big 172 on steroids. OK, I know, blasphemy. As some of you know, I do like Cessnas, but then I like most planes. It would be difficult if I one a prize in which I could have any plane I wanted but I could only have one. Tough choice! A flying great dane. Did he have the Snoopy helmet and googles? What a funny image that brings to mind. Have an enjoyable day, everyone.
