Ulf Darenius owns Nord-Flyg in Sweden which operates several Caravans among other aircraft. When a friend of his asked him to help sell the friend's Caravan, Ulf called EastWest, since he had dealt with Jerry and Larry in the past selling a Caravan, Cessna Conquest II, and a Citation.
Working through our network of Caravan owners, operators, and dealers, we talked to Kathy Wrobel, of Prairie Aircraft Sales in Saskatchewan, Canada. She had an operator who was looking for a Caravan he could put to work in Northern Canada. Obviously, one from Sweden would definitely have the necessary equipment installed for the similarly harsh climate in Canada.
Jerry flew to Sweden, where he met the prospective buyer's mechanic, to do the pre-purchase inspection. After negotiating the repairs of the discrepancies found in the inspection, we made arrangements with the aircraft ferry service to have the airplane flown to Canada. Meanwhile, Jerry, working with the Swedish authorities, and Larry, working with the Canadian authorities, took care of removing the aircraft form the Swedish Aircraft Registry and putting it on the Canadian Registry.
Shortly thereafter, the airplane went to work hauling people, equipment, and supplies to the remote villages of Northern Canada.
