With interior and seats fully removed and the standard metal door replaced with a sliding lexan model, the Caravan is a popular skydiving aircraft It can carry from 12-18 fully geared jumpers, depending on the model. The Caravan 675 in particular is a quite fast aircraft for flying full altitude (13,000ft AGL) jump runs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tznkai (talkcontribs) 21:14, 24 May 2005 (UTC-7)

[edit] Avionics section needs an update

New Caravans only come with the Garmin G1000 system available. I am unsure since which year this has been the case, or I would already have made the update. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.56.156 (talk) 00:18, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Just finished looking at Janes fighting ships, 2007-2008, and the Namibian navy uses these for coastal patrol. Should this be added, or is there a page for patrol versions?216.208.38.26 (talk) 17:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)trainman 2

Even though it was removed from the article, I thought this was a good photo and could be re-inserted lower in the article, however it is lacking any copyright info. Without this added it will be deleted fairly soon. If the copyright is resolved I would be in favour of putting it back in somewhere. - Ahunt (talk) 20:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes I agree - I didnt move it further down due to copyright problem. MilborneOne (talk) 21:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Let's see if the copyright gets solved - then we can put it back in! - Ahunt (talk) 00:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
