Six seat aircraft?
What are the current 6-seat single engine aircraft in production?
I can think of the Cessna 206, the newly re-minted Cherokee Six, and the Beech Bonanza (well, it's sort of a 6-seater...). Are there any others? Are there any experimental 6-seaters? I wonder if Cirrus is aiming to release one? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

There's a six seat experimental from AeroComp called the Comp Air 6. Looks
interesting. Saw a few at Oshkosh this year. http://aerocompinc.com/ Chris "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:4tP2b.269932$uu5.60768@sccrnsc04...

The Cessna 208 Caravan (OK, it's an 8-seater). The PC-12. The Lake LA-270. You could probably put 6 in a turbine Maule. (Guess what I did at Oshkosh '03?

Not sure, but the rumoer is that new "DeHavilland" Beavers are going to be produced by the Beaver Aircraft Co. in the near future! : -- : Jay Honeck : Iowa City, IA : Pathfinder N56993 : www.AlexisParkInn.com : "Your Aviation Destination" |

Is there going to be an "announcement" down the road?
I believe in addition to the 206, most 210's are also 6 seat as well as the 207 (6+). And there is always Harrison Ford's choice of the "big single", the 208. Dehavilland Beavers and/or Otters may be able to also handle 6. This one is somewhere on a list of possibilities http://www.buran.ru/htm/mol-1.htm Denny "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:4tP2b.269932$uu5.60768@sccrnsc04...

The 205 is also 6-place. Although, Jay asked about current production 6-place machines. : This one is somewhere on a list of possibilities : http://www.buran.ru/htm/mol-1.htm Was this at Osh? I didn't see it. -- Aaron Coolidge (N9376J) |
