the ultimate utah backcountry plane

Redtail Aviation here in Moab, UT just had an open house to show off their new Quest Kodiak which will be used for river shuttles, backcountry ops, charter, etc. WOW! My caravan lust has been replaced.

Picture of it on their front page:

They have one in Driggs ID. Rumor has it, they're going to start a shuttle to SLC with it, I'm going to be pestering them for the right seat.

Re: the ultimate utah backcountry plane

I was in Sandpoint, ID in 2006 for an ethanol/internal combustion steam engine project with Mark Cherry, an inventor there. He got me a tour of the Quest factory, I saw number three under construction and two was just being completed. They gave us a good tour. That is a beautiful city. Take the tour if you get the chance.

Just hang one on there and pretend Bumper. Shoot you'd have to have a fleet of homeless people working every corner in the city panhandling to afford the Jet-a for that thing though :lol:
