Such an aircraft kind-of already exists:
It's interesting to note that the aircraft that was going to compete with the AC-208, but was unsuccessful was the PAC 750 XL, a parachute dropper designed and built in New Zealand, which was based on the Fletcher top dresser. The 750 XL is very agile and can turn on a dime in the air. STOL capable, can take off and land virtually anywhere. Ugly thing tho.
