1999 Straight Float Cessna 208

This FAA Part 135 Certified Cessna 208 is more than just an aircraft—it’s an opportunity. A rare find in every sense, this powerhouse is equipped with the BlackHawk XP140 engine upgrade, delivering unmatched performance that sets it apart from every other Caravan on the market. More power, faster climb rates, and greater efficiency mean you can go further, carry more, and do it all with confidence.

With an 8,360 lb Gross Weight STC, payload capacity is maximized, allowing for more cargo, more passengers, and greater revenue potential. Designed to operate in all conditions, this aircraft is de-ice certified, ensuring year-round reliability no matter the season. Whether on land or water, it’s ready to adapt—equipped with nearly new land plane wheel gear, making it the perfect choice for operators who need flexibility.

Originally fitted with amphibious floats, it has been converted to straight floats per Wipaire Service Letter Instructions, but with the option to return to its original configuration. Adding to its exclusivity, a rare cargo pod is included, providing expanded storage and unmatched operational versatility—just as hard to find as the BlackHawk upgrade itself.

This isn’t just a Caravan. It’s a machine built for adventure, for business, for those who demand the best. A true workhorse that outperforms, outlasts, and exceeds expectations at every turn. This is your chance to own the most capable 208 on the market. Don’t let it fly away.
