New London, Wisconsin | Those are amazing aircraft. Not cheap, and no I don't know the price but those turbo prop engines are a few mil or more. You can google CL-415 and see some amazing video of how they are used in many countries.
My guess is Viking Air might see a few more orders come in for some of those. It was developed from the piston powered 215. The updated turbine design was produced for several years by Bombardier and is now owned by Viking Air, the same folks who restore De Havilland Beavers. The Viking's newest version I read is now called a 515. I've seen them close up at Air Venture in Oshkosh WI. They are pretty big, and quite impressive.
