Jim Allmon, president and ceo of Blackhawk Modifications, Inc., announced today that Blackhawk has sold their second Caravan 208B with new PT6A-42A to Skydive Dubai.

“I am beyond pleased that we can provide Skydive Dubai with their second XP42A Performance Upgrade," says Allmon. "Operators like Skydive Dubai are the reason why Blackhawk designed this engine upgrade package. The extremely hot summers in Dubai are the perfect match for the XP42 upgrade to the Caravan. While others are grounded due to the heat, the Blackhawk equipped 208B is flying the missions, making money."

”We are in the process of redefining the skydiving experience,” says chief pilot Heath Haley. “From scratch, we have been hard at work in creating the single most incredible dropzone in the world, right in the heart of Dubai. Since purchasing our first XP powered Caravan 208B from Blackhawk, I have noticed a major jump in my business. We are on our way to becoming the world's best skydiving resort. I cannot be more excited to say that another Blackhawk has been added to my fleet.”
