WELCOME CARAVAN ENTHUSIAST!
You have arrived at a site dedicated to the Cessna Caravan...(if you hadn't noticed!)
My name is Derek Linder, webmaster and curator of
208caravan.com, and you have arrived in my little corner of the World Wide Web! I created this site to help preserve the ongoing history of the Cessna Caravan, one of my all-time favorite aircraft. At the risk of resurrecting website vernacular of yesteryear, this site will be perpetually "under construction", minus the animated GIF's proclaiming it to be so. (That being said, I'm sure I could be prevailed upon to insert one or two should anyone show any interest...anyone?...anyone?...Bueller?)
Whether you are an owner, pilot, maintainer, or enthusiast, I hope you enjoy the content presented here. Feel free to
contact me and let me know about your passion for the Caravan, share a story, or ask a question. Is there information that isn't correct or typographical errors in the data? Please let me know. If you have a Caravan photo you'd like to see on this site, those are welcome too! Now, with all the pleasantries out of the way and without further ado, (ideally accompanied by a freshly-brewed cup of coffee), I give you
208caravan.com..."a Cessna Caravan site"
