Flew to and from a little GA airport to see the eclipse in a Cessna 182. Flew commercial from a little airport to a big airport on a Cessna Caravan, and then flew between major airports on A319. The flight on the Caravan was probably the most pleasant commercial flight I've been on.

Some images for people like me who don't know anything about planes:

  1. Cessna 182 image
  2. Cessna 207 Caravan. This one is however from the Iraq air force... Cessna 208 Caravan
  3. A319 Image

I don't really know if I get why the Cessna 182 and Cessna caravan are two completely different planes but I also don't know anything about planes. Or maybe I got the images wrong or you flew on a different type of Cessna caravan? But I can anyways agree that the caravan looks like a nice airplane.

EDIT: after a closer look I see that the caravan and 182 are quite different in size

yea, the 182 has room for 4 (including pilot) and popular among private pilots. The Caravan was designed as a cargo plane. The I was on had room for ~12, Including pilots. The 182 also has a piston engine and the caravan is a turboprop.
