The Cessna looks pretty sleek, for a workhorse. I was surprised to note that
it costs over $2m to buy, according to the Wikipedia entry.
A former colleague of mine flies for the British Antarctic Survey and I was
sure that he told me that he had used a Caravan down south. But according to
the BAS website they use only Twin Otters and a Dash 7. Mind you, the website
also tells me that they never fly without a copilot, and I know that not to be
true.
