The story
The Cessna 402 has long been a workhorse for island-hopping airlines in the Caribbean and the Pacific. If you've ever flown between tiny islands on a plane where you could see the pilot's instruments, it may well have been a 402. It's also a favorite for cargo runs and small charter outfits.
Every seat in a 402 lifts out easily, so a morning commuter flight can become an afternoon cargo run.
