My Nok Air Flight From Chiang Mai

[sceadugenga]

This is actually called SGA but it's Nok Air in disguise.

The flight was brilliant, we paid 1800B each at the hotel desk but I suspect we could have got it considerably cheaper shopping around.

Sanuk mak mak.

How many passengers ? 15 ish ?. Doubt you'd get the flight much cheaper. No economies of scale.

How many propellers by the way ? Looks like 3 . More the better

Looks like fun though . parachutes ?

It's a Cessna Grand Caravan 208B. It has ONE (I counted them twice) turboprop engine

You have to love Nok-Air's paint jobs, did they ever do the Penguin (there was some discussion because Penguins don't fly well).

Only one prop Jub. looked like a 12 seater, only nine on board plus two pilots. Given a little lunch box on boarding, a juice and a piece of cake.

No parachutes sighted, not far to fall though, not like 13,000 meters in a Jumbo.

Thanks sealy, I took them with my little Canon SX110 IS, which has to be the best digital I've seen in it's price range, especially in low light situations. I've probably taken 500 pics in the last 2 weeks recording a visitor's holiday and haven't had a bad one yet.

Interesting as I was on the first flight from CNX to Udon and that plane was a 2 engined thing and carried more passengers.
