It really is a versatile aircraft!

The cessna grand caravan claims to be an amazingly versatile aircraft.  While perusing Anet, My eyes have been opened to this unbelievable plane.  It is slowly becoming one of my favorites.

Now heres something I didnt expect: A cessna GUNSHIP! :o

The other option is it could just be someone having a little fun, but then a Caravan would be an expensive way to do it...

Its stories like this that remind me how durable aircraft really can be. I think most people believe aircraft are fragile and delicate.  ;)
