When I worked at Channel Islands Aviation, we'd occasionally do work for Southern Cross, a company who also had offices at Camarillo. They're specialty was ferrying aircraft overseas, and we'd often fill up the entire cabin with bladders...even smaller Cessnas. Not a job for the faint at heart nor shallow of bladder...but a great way to build hours...

must be true, I saw an Air Tractor once on flight aware. Went to Hawaii.

The Air Tractor can fly for upwards of 10 hours unrefueled.

The distance to Hawaii is about 2217 nautical miles. The Cessna Caravan is rated for a max of about 1100 with max fuel and reserves. With no fueling stops along the way, how did they make this flight? Can you carry fuel and then refuel in the air?
