First time for me in any airplane as I was 18. I know my bud had the experience, I wasn't worried about that. I often wonder if he still flies or had the plane.

2strokemerc Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I have absolutely zero interest in little airplanes. Might as well be travelling down the interstate in a grocery cart. Ben, if you're ever in YYZ PM me and I can show you what modern engines look like. A couple pics, GE90 with and without blades, GenX, and a CFM56 with the top case removed.

Woodtick Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 @f7ben will you be up to the UP over Labor Day weekend? There is a fly in at the strip next to my camp. A lot of cool planes pop in. You should stop by if you are up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a Cessna caravan is well over a million... not sure the cost But think I recall a bush pilot telling me they were well over a million. when working up in AK I always tried to carry enough weight to need to charter one of those village to village.
