With sales having exceeded the 1000 mark, the useful Caravan continues to be a popular workhorse worldwide.

Design work for the Caravan dates back to the early eighties. First flight of a prototype occurred on December 9, 1982 and certification was granted in October 1984. When production began the following year it became the first all new, single-engine turboprop aircraft to achieve production status.

The Caravan I has a close association with  Federal Express on whose request Cessna especially developed two pure freight versions – the Cargo Masters.

The 208B Grand Caravan first flew in 1990 and like the Super Cargo Master is a stretched version of the basic Caravan powered by a 675 hp PT6A-114. It can seat up to 14 passengers.

Underbelly cargo pods, floats and skis are offered as options on the Caravan I family and the type is easily converted from freight to passenger configurations.

Cessna Grand Caravan serial number 1000 - commemorating 100 years of flight since the Wright Brothers took to the air - was delivered to Thailand in 1998 for personal use by Khun Supap Puranitee.
