Hi A netters,
As some of you saw a couple of weeks ago i had prodded around the Gipps Aero 10. I think i need to scrap that and now look more closely at the Grand Caravan as they are more of them around and still in production.
I dont know if some of you can point me in the right direction?
1. How much would it cost to purchase a 10 year old example?
2. Are there leasing companies that do hold stock and can supply them maybe 12 to 18 months out? What are thew costs involved?
3. What are the performance figures like operating at 1,800 ft altitude at a location that is around 25 degrees C year out?
4. What are the fixed costs and per hour costs per aircraft?
Thank you!

Are you looking to own the plane and contract out the maintenance and pilots or own everything yourself as part of your company? Either way for the cost of a 10 year old model I would look at websites like trade a plane.com or similar.
