GMK Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I saw a (very small) pic of of a Cessna Grand Caravan in Iraq, painted in the same IR paint of an Apache (AH-64, helicopter type), with some sort of sensor pod. Any have more info/pics and have any been armed yet? Thanks, Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Rat Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Never seen a kit of the 208, but add me to the list of people who want one. That sucker is just demanding to be 'what iffed' about a dozen ways! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

drhornii Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Looks like a FAC, much like the O-2 in Vietnam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dennis Buley Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Looks like a FAC, much like the O-2 in Vietnam And according to the FAA database, the N number (N9698F) on that aircraft is not assigned or reserved...HMMM!!! Dennis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Probably because that picture was taken 19 years ago.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Probably because that picture was taken 19 years ago.... I didn't realize that the F-16 recce pod they are carrying was in existence 19 years ago. :( Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chappie Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 There is a picture of a Grand Caravan (N1321A) in the July issue of AFM. Caption says it is part of the Iraqi AF and is displayed at New Al Muthana AB. It is equipped with countermeasures and a ventral mounted FLIR. Chappie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
