I was referring to the model number as C208 and not C206.

Chances of it landing in the Vaal Dam are pretty remote. Generaly, only the coastal Oryx have inflatable floats fitted.

As far as I know the Oryxes with flotation gear are a different model, the M1. In addition to the flotation gear they have folding blades, maritime radios and a few other additions useful for maritime ops. The base Oryx, as used inland, would thus probably have been slightly cheaper to build.

Is the Caravan (3003) flying recce? I don't see an Argos 410-Z fitted in the picture but they could have fitted it to the right side. It's much more interesting if they've tied in that capability!

Possibly posting these pics in the wrong thread, unfortunately no SAAF aircraft, but fits under the thread name.
