Cessna Caravan comes to mind. DeHavilland Beaver. No airstair but the Piper the Piper Cherokee Six/Lance/Saratoga/6X family have rear doors. Cessna 206/207 (though not that easy to climb into...) You were probably looking for low wings mostly I imagine...

Yeah, screw the old people, the ones who have been here long enough to know that in fact nothing significant has changed, the wise ones who have seen a long period of time go by on the earth. Ignore them, concentrate on brainwashing the young and impressionable. Yell them the old are wrong and...

Guess I am in the minority with ThreeFingeredJack and Wayne, I'll pass 9K this winter. Almost all of it in Alaska 135.

Pretty sure it predates them also.

Indeed, Y'all take care down there.

+1 Let the dog keep it

Yes, he is a jerk, but only because he screwed that dog out of his snack. That's life, and death. A good lesson for the kids indeed. At least he didn't punish the dog for doing its job.

Guys like the OPs friend are one major reason many people are scared of "small" planes. Shameful to treat someone like that on an intro ride. And if he were truly doing an emer descent in a steep bank as described, there should be no g-load, since you are descending in an unloaded condition...

Yeah, they do that if the cloud penetrated was below the plane... I'm not saying it is not photoshop, just clarifying that the wake as depicted is appropriate. It would be nice to see a higher resolution image. Very pretty nonetheless.

Up here at my airport alone (PAJN) there are four helicopter tour operators. A couple of them work year 'round serving remote sites but all of them are extremely busy during the summer. While some of the pilots are building time, most are very qualified and often ex-military helo pilots that...

I'll bite. Orange= Chrome barrel Blue= steel barrel Green= bored 0.010 over yellow= bored 0.020 over And the one in the upper right uses short reach plugs.

Alaska Airlines still gives out wings. Pretty nice ones too, not the cheap plastic ones. They gave me a pair last year when I was jumpseating... :)

I Second Seaport, not a bottomfeeder. I am biased however, PM me if you want details.

How about; load"*",8,1

Amen, Southeast Alaska here and I have basically the same plane you do. If all else fails stay over the blue stuff on the GPS, at least you know how high the water is... BTW, my tachs don't exactly match up either :)

Without seeing the plane, I'd have to agree that you made the right call and it is a shame that those great planes are sometimes left to rot. The clicking starter was probably a stuck Bendix caused by the dead battery, no big deal. The paint? probably not a problem. The rust though is a red...

Seriously, that one is easy. Facebook is evil.
