    Hi Fellow So. Cal. Pilots & owners. I'm new to this site & just found this group. I recently bought a 206 w/ STOL mods, and I'm looking forward to doing some backcountry flying! Plane is based at KCCB (Cable Airport). Will be flying out to S.E. Arizona in mid-June for a cargo pod & V brace install, electrical work & Annual. Hope to make friends & plan/participate in group trips!

I confess I don't have much time with backcountry flying, let alone in a busy MOA! Are there any experienced pilots out there that might want to fly with me for a trip or two? My 206 has the Robertson STOL kit, Fences, VGs, Flint tip tanks, continuous flap switch & flap dump switches on the yokes, Cleveland brakes & 8.50x6.00 mains.

    Hi there fellow 206 owners. I Just joined this group today! I purchased a '74 U206FcG (F converted to G) 6 weeks ago. It has quite a few STCs. What a fantastic flying airplane! I plan to do a lot of volunteer flying with it. I'm based in So. Cal.
