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?

There's a six seat experimental from AeroComp called the Comp Air 6. Looks
interesting. Saw a few at Oshkosh this year.

The A-36 Bonanza is definately a 6-seater.

The Saratoga. Well, I guess it's a retractable Cherokee Six...
Piper Malibu Mirage. Piper Meridian.
The TBM-700. 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? Well, besides bailing the tent...)

Isn't the Murphy Moose a 6-seater? How about that Lionheart biplane?

Not sure, but the rumoer is that new "DeHavilland" Beavers are going to be
produced by the Beaver Aircraft Co. in the near future!

Citation CJ2

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

I think all the 210's are 6-seaters, but the backmost 2 seats are very small
until you get into the late '60's strutles models. The 205 is also 6-place.
Although, Jay asked about current production 6-place machines.

Was this at Osh? I didn't see it.

Just keep your Pathfinder and find a 2-place plane too... ;-)

I suggested that when he went from his Warrior to the Pathfinder. Did he
take my advice then? Nooooo...

Five. And one needs to be a midget.

Brute force has an elegance all its own.

IIRC, DeHavilland hasn't made these in quite some while.
