The third employee at the old company was the part time person and our main pilot. He owns a beautiful 210T and a 1956 140, one motorcycle, a pickup and a car. He is single and retired from civil service. He loves the old 1965 Cessna 206 that the company has owned since 1969. He has spent many thousands of hours in it. It is ugly (the 206 not the pilot) as a airplane can get but it is a farm truck or work truck. He has made an offer on the old 206 and I have not heard if they have agreed on a price. It has a fair market value but what that is needs to be determined, it is a very high time airframe. If he buys it we will rent the airplane with pilot and have a flat rate. My partner is a pilot and even rated as an instructor. He will have to fly any projects that might come up until we have access to the 206.
That 206 would be perfect for a movie. It does not look like much, but it really is mechanically sound. Imagine the hero needing to rent a pilot and airplane to fly over the swamp or volcano or jungle, they walk up to it and say no way. I would fly anywhere with that pilot and that airplane.
