Aviation History
1991
1991 - 3334.PDF
On December 17th, 1991, we delivered our 500th Caravan. Five hundred air craft in a little over six years has made the Cessna Caravan the fastest selling turboprop of its kind in history. No other aircraft in this category has been accepted so widely in such a short amount of time. No comparable aircraft has ever proven itself so thoroughly and conclusively as the Caravan has in its first six years of use. The recognition has been earned over more than a million flight hours and thousands of rigorous and demanding missions. Many have been flown for Federal Express, and through them all, the aircraft has delivered a phenomenal dispatch rate of over 99.8%. And so ifs only fitting that this 500th Caravan has joined the Federal Express fleet. No matterwhatthe challenge, Caravans have risen to the occasion. For bush pilots who need a tough, versatile, all-purpose workhorse that can take off and land virtu ally anywhere. For cargo haulers who live and breathe reliability. For executives whose jobs take them places a little more untamed than the boardroom. And for individuals who simply want to go where few other airplanes are able to go. Five hundred Caravans in less than seven years is unprecedented affirmation that the Caravan is among the most dependable and versatile aircraft ever built. It is also testimony to a new twist on an old principle: when at first you do succeed, fly, fly again.
