The story
A rugged single-turboprop utility hauler designed in Sandpoint, Idaho for bush flying, mission aviation and float work. High wing, big tires, ten seats, and a PT6 up front that runs on Jet-A, the fuel you can actually find at the end of a dirt strip. Quest built it; Daher has owned the line since 2019.
Fully loaded, a Kodiak 100 needs only 934 feet to take off. Quest's Mission Team program sold one in every 11 Kodiaks built to a mission organisation at cost.
