You might give Leading Edge Aviation a call. They are next door (?) and might have a different number for you to try. I don't think these guys are related in any manner, but it's a small airport and they might have information. Leading Edge 63342 Powell Butte Hwy Bend, OR (541) 383-8825...

RE: Medford is a nice place, especially in the "suburbs" of Jacksonville and Ashland. As far as having nothing to do; that is probably true if you don't like world class fishing, good golf, decent (not great) vineyards, hiking, skiing, biking, and things like that. It is a five hour drive to get...

Bob, as a Portland boy I have to ask...Why Portland during monsoon season? Chris C-206 KPDX based BTW I ended up landing at Rome Station, the strip was dry and straight forward. Thanks for the help on Burns Junction info.

Ron, Thanks, that makes sense. I thought there was more to the story.....something like him really being a 13 year old kid or something along those lines:D . I was getting visions of a grander scheme. Chris PS There is nothing wrong with 13 year old kids; however, if the person in...

Can somebody enlighten those of us who are not in the know? The "jist" of it can be extrapolated from the above; however, some of us (i.e. me) are consumed by curiousity. Thanks, Chris

So...you like low wings, I do too and I don't even fly one. Back to the question of the OP; most Cessnas can easily go on floats, skiis, and into rough fields (i.e. one with big bushes on the side). This is a factor in the resale of planes on the west coast, Alaska, and internationally. The...

Troy: It will be the same as in the Six. IMHO, both land better with a load. The sink rate will get you, especially in an early 206, but in this late model bird it won't be much of a problem. 206 and power off = brick with wings. If you really feel better going through a simulation you...

Bring the Six out west and we can re-glue the wings on the "proper" side. Notice the wings on Cubs, Beavers, 206's. Floats, Pods and lumber go on the outside of high wings. FYI, I love the PA32's and would have bought one if it came up before the 206 I found. Chris

Bob: Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the input. I did notice that building on the BLM strip. I have eyed that highway at Rome Station myself. I've got to say that it looks like the best choice of all. We met the guy who lives in the lone house just west of the station (200 yards). He said...

Bob: I go chukkar hunting out in Rome. Since the cafe strip gets a bit sloppy after a (rare) rain, I have considered landing at the BLM strip right at Burns Junction. Do you happen to know the status of that strip? It seems like the BLM is very protective of their strips; however, that one...

Ah, The Pour House, it's been a long time. I am Boston U. grad who did more than a little time at the Pour House. I remember some of them. CJS

The new Cessna CK (Cirrus Killer) if it has 6 seats. It would also have to have a decent full fuel payload of 900 - 1000 # and I'd look at one. Chris

Re: Squirrel, what not to do I don't know how to "evict" this little guy; however, this radio program has a great story. Squirrel Cop starts 20:00 minutes into the following program. I laugh until I cry everytime I hear it. The first part of the program is scratchy, so just wait until it loads...

I agree with this advice. I go up to ANC every two months and I never tire of taking a jog around Lake Hood and looking at the Helio's, 185's, Beavers and even the Gippsland Airvan at the CAP base. That Airvan is all of the things I love about the 206 but is better in some ways (I would miss the...

Hey Kath: Glad to hear the flight went well. Did you happen to notice the "other" airport in Talkeetna? It is right behind the store, or as I see it, right across the street from the Tavern. It is short and narrow. I think it was the original city airport and it is (or recently was) used...

Kath: Don't give up on Aero Tech. They are a good outfit, might have been just bad timing. Last time I was up there they had a female that was an enthusiatic instructor. Plus they are the only people I have ever seen with a 207 for rent! The other guys worth trying are across the field on...

A cargo pod, I've always wanted a cargo pod. I don't know how practical they are in the cost-benefit sense; however, it would be a great place to put the strollers and other assorted junk that comes when traveling with my three kids. Chris
