Mission Aviation Fellowship specialise in taking mission and aid
workers to jungle airstrips in various parts of the world. This one
will be based at Kalimantan, a vast jungle and mountainous region
of Indonesia. It replaces a Cessna 206 and triples the load carrying
capacity into strips too short for the Cessna Caravans in their fleet.
.
MAF have orders for 7 Kodiaks with options on a further 11. It has
visited the UK because this one has been paid for by a donation
(around $1.8m) from an Isle of Man based family who own a
computer software business - thanks to David Depledge for all the info!
