    LOL… curvature of the earth! I like that! … hard to beat turbine power and flexibility, but that 206 is a nice looking aircraft, and pretty darn capable for the money. I fancy the Caravan.. anyone have several million dollars lying around the house that I could have? 😉

    The turbo Beaver …
    The turbo Beaver conversion uses a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A (not sure exacty which model) of around 500 to 600 shp. I may be wrong but I think the airframe of the beaver is limited to 600hp max. There may be a STC to boost the HP to a higher limit
