Hi all
can someone help any status of C208 due out USA in the next few hrs for wilson(Kenya) will leave out on monday via bermuda , the winds are still good to the azores will be routing through malta and luxor, if it left??
thks in advance!!
Did you include in your princely sum, additional money for freight and handling and specify that any extra fee’s not used for their troubles be wired, via western union back to your homeland? As long as you did so, I’m sure the seller has the plane in transit and the money being wired back to you as we speak.
lol
do you have the current aircraft registration? that would make it much easier to find.
I just found one registered to Africair due to leave Tampa for Bermuda in a few minutes.
If that schedule that John noted is right, then likely that is the plane and the poster is legit. Sorry - without posting the tail number and along with the expected destination, I thought this was another Nigerian millionaire. I apologize for my comment and suspicions of illegitimacy.
That’s alot of distance over water in a single engine!
I put the range map at Cessna on Tampa and it seems that TXKF seems just a scoosh out of Range ?
Did you factor in a tailwind?
Can’t go by the range map at Cessna. The C208 will more than likely have ferry tank(s) installed in it.
Exactly what I was thinking, dami…
I am going with both tailwind and tanks. It obviously has a good tail wind because as of this moment it was just doing 216kt’s and it filed for 165 so that adds up to a 50kt tailwind. Surely not a bad flight to bermuda for a caravan. Not saying i want to be on the plane tho
Where does it go next??? I am looking at the map and for the life of me i cant figure out its next logical hop unless we are talking something remote with fuel…
Of course for this flight, it does not have a tail wind. Look at TPA weather. Winds have been outa the north north-west.
On the surface maybe but not at 9000 ft
Still, for the most part out of the north-west…
No, more like out of the west. Did you adjust the alt to 9000?
Flores in the Azores is a possibility.
Hey, Patter98
Did you see the the original poster’s posting?

JHEM: Flores doesn’t have customs available. That means the aircraft will need to transit Lajes, Ponta Delgada, or Santa Maria, all of which have customs.
Didn’t you guys notice there are actually two engines? Okay, they are on separate planes, but there are still two engines in this caravan of Caravans.
