The 208 Caravan

The Cessna 208 Caravan is an American single-engined turboprop (jet engine), fixed-tricycle landing gear, short-haul regional airliner and utility aircraft that is built by Cessna. The airplane typically seats nine passengers plus a pilot and copilot.

This Caravan is spaciously configured for a total of eight seats.

The Cessna Caravan is generally also used for cargo operations. It has one of the highest commercial airplane safety records in history.

About Me

Ron Carlson, RA ILL: Ron is Founder and CEO of PBD, Inc., an architectural firm based in Chicago, Illinois. Ron founded PBD in 1993, which is now one of the leading corporate design firms in Chicago. In addition to being a registered architect, Ron is also an inventor, author, artist, speaker, explorer and instrument rated pilot. Since 2001, Ron has undertaken several solo expeditions in his seaplane to the far north, far above the arctic circle. His primary mission has been to explore and conduct research while searching for relics of the doomed Franklin Expedition of 1845. These English Admiralty explorers on two ships disappeared with all hands in this region. In 2011, Ron was the first to discover and photograph one of the fabled ships; HMS Erebus, which lay below on the shallow ocean floor. Today Ron is primarily focused on his historical documentary channel on YouTube called, "Faces of the Forgotten”, finding and telling unique and intriguing untold stories.
