I was told to show up this fall to fly "something" different. New puppy has occupied all my time, unfortunately.
I hope they come up with something new.....lots of smart people in that outfit, so no lsck of resources.

Indeed, I was aware at the the time I may been hearing a little misdirection or at least obscurification, and didn't really want to pry as I was just passing by on my way to eat breakfast anyway, and I want to respect their privacy as per whats in the pipeline. I don't want screw up my (supposed) parking privileges by peeking in their (partially open as I walk by) hangar. Nobody likes a snitch. Keep us posted MTV.

I absolutely love flying my Husky!
Of course there is the performance and handling to enjoy but also as an A&P I love the aspect of being strapped into such a heavy duty frame that is all new tubing. And it is certificated under part 23 rather than experimental. Experimental is a fabulous way to go for all the reasons we already know but for some part 23 is the right way and then the Husky really stands out.
For me, with the Husky you have a Backcountry plane that only has the downside of being expensive to buy into.

Glad to see Aviat is now a sponsor. They make great airplanes and we are seeing more and more Huskys here in the Wrangell Mountains. Not as many as the ubiquitous Cub, but it is making its inroads. Love the Husky...

Big thanks to Aviat for continuing their support of BCP since 2016. If you're in the market for a factory-new bird in the class, start with them. They are great, no-BS people behind the operation.

I love my Husky. I have had 2 of them. Great all around airplane. I have owned many airplanes over the years. Some airplanes do some things better but overall the Husky is hard to beat.

Steve gave wife and myself a factory tour after harvest. Factory has a lot of history and quality of work is outstanding. Husky is #1 on my want list
