Six seat aircraft?

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

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?

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.

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

Brute force has an elegance all its own.

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...

Hey, we absolutely LOVE our Pathfinder. Until the kids are grown, I simply
can't imagine another plane filling our needs as well as Atlas does -- he's
a brawny beast that will carry ANYTHING we can fit inside, relatively
quickly, in comfort, with a longer range than our bladders -- and he happily
sips that sweet car gas.

What else could we want?

Well, besides two more seats, of course!

Duh! The guy owns an airplane.

At Oshkosh he sleeps in the rain/a tent, a mere 100 yards from a new Hilton
(controlling costs)

....but he eats meals at the Hilton.
(Costs, and waistlines, out of control!!)

He fly's back to Iowa City with a free pair of Lightspeeds offered to him.
(Hmm....profitable trip!)

Let me list a few things why two planes are better than one:

1) you can fly #2 when #1 is in for a long annual
2) if your spouse flys, there is no arguements about who is PIC
3) if the above is true, you can go places in formation
4) plane #2 could be a plane that performs differently than #1 (e.g. #1 is
a cross country machine and #2 is a STOL on floats)
5) two planes probably arn't that much more expensive than a twin
6) with two planes you can dispose of income at twice the rate of one


I'm sure we can find more...
