We have 4 or 5 of them operating out of Tucson and nearby small fields as small cargo carriers serving smaller towns in Southern Arizona and Northern Mexico - they are pretty sturdy planes.
"they are pretty sturdy planes"
Understatement of the century. VERY over-engineered plane; safety factors built in for bouncing into dirt runways of yore.
With mildly updated engines/avionics, ideal for island-hopping, drug-running (you think I jest), and carting banannas.
