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!
