Nice shots, is that a 206?
I did a little recon at Baker a month ago, nice area minus the huge gaps in the ice....
Yeah, It's a turbo 206 on wip 4000 amphibs. Good eye. You must be a pilot. It was crazy to see the glacier we ride on. My girlfriend was taking the pics. I'm kinda bummed how they turned out... I'm not sure why they didn't. I think we'll try my camera next time. The water fall near hood knob was pretty large.
Impresive!

Railroad Grade looks crazy!!!!! Thanks for the pics
Was that on Sunday? We were on the backside of Sulfer Moraine when my daughter and I saw a white float plane buzzin the mountain in the early afternoon. Really cool up there we only got in 8 miles. Lots of blueberrys and marmots.
Lots of blueberrys and marmots.Cool pics. Thanks for sharing them.
A pilot who ran out of money to get my rating, let me know if you need a designated photog, got a 12.1 mp DSLR with a decent optics.

If you dont mind me asking how do you like the wingtip extensions and {robinson kit}? on the 206?
Yeah. It was on Sunday. I really like the performance of this aircraft. The wingtips and robertson are supposed to help, but in my opinnion the turbo is the big deal. Believe it or not I've flown this bird to San Diego, and recently took the girlfriend to Lake Tahoe. I love flying, and am open to take people where ever?
Funny thing. As soon as I got home I had to take the sled for a few hot laps arround the grass. I can't wait for some snow!

To answer your question... The robertson allows me to fly much slower, which if you are a pilot is a big advantage for stol. The kit does make it heavier on the controls. I bought the plane the way it sits so I have only the opinion of others to go off here. They tell me my plane performs a lot better than stock 206's they've flown. Unfortunately the kit isn't available for sale anymore. As for the wing extensions... logic says that with more wing area we get more lift. A guy I know installed a set on his straight float TU206G, and he said they really made a difference. They don't seam to slow the airplane at all due to added drag. So all in all I'm very happy with the mods.
