Default 3 down - 2 dead - In 3 days

I've had my 206 at max gross in temps over 100F quite a few times. You gotta
keep your eyes on the N1 and TOT gauges, but the machine performs just fine.
I even had it at 11,000MSL with an OAT over 80F in the mountains out west
once. Nothing weird at all except the control was a little squishy.

That's bad news for 206's. Do you know why it was just them crashing?
Were they all flying the same missions?


Well..... One of the local media pointed that out as if there had to be
a connection, but the government inspector pointed out that considering
the 206 is so popular with so many flying that it is nothing more than
a coincedence.
