It looks like the Cessna 408’s first flight on May 18th appears to be successful

Maybe they could do it as the textorn dlc update and give us the Cessna 408 SkyCourier (cargo and passenger version), Cessna Denial, and Textron Scorpion all in one dlc update as the textron package

Textron succeed to deliver his first 408 to Fedex yesterday.

Fedex ordered 50 Cessna 408 and perhaps 50 more later

It would be great if any dev could work on this brand new aircraft, a good challenger to Twin Otter

I wonder if any Caribbean based airlines will order that aircraft because I think that aircraft would be an incredible option for operators in the Caribbean, Northern Canada, and Alaska

Currently country/island hopping around with NeoFly doing a world tour, 408 SkyCourier would be an awesome vehicle to do 50/50 Pax and Cargo missions! Does anyone know if anyone is currently developing this plane?

Far as I know no one has been working on it which is a real bummer because it would be really awesome if they got it to work with that garmin panel mod because the cockpit is a garmin flight deck

Anyone knows if it’s certified for flying with one pilot (like Caravans) or two?

It was certified as a one pilot aircraft to help the pilot shortage during the pandemic

The interior space is incredible for a small aircraft

Searching info for a flight with the Caravan I’ve found that Empire Airlines has their first Skycourier with the reg: N708FX

For checking its first flights as Fedex’s feeder: N708FX Historial y rastreo de vuelos - FlightAware

Would love to see MS extend the current partnership with Textron to bring the Cessna 408 Skycourier to the sim. It’s a versatile aircraft (passenger and cargo) that would be perfect for the sim!

Agreed-would love to see a MS/Asobo Skycourier.

Like the kodiak, I would probably fly more VFR flights in it because it’s using the garmin flight deck

Because I’m only using one monitor I love flying aircraft with garmin panels because I never need to turn on the map icon in flight

I really would love to see the SkyCourier in the game. I’m not sure why it hasn’t been done. If I was anywhere near as good as the teams making add-ons, I would try to develop one.
