There's no 206 shot, but there is a Kiowa, which is fairly closely related to the 206 (contrary to popular opinion, the Kiowa isn't actually a 206 in OD paint, but they're quite closely related, both are descendants of the LOH program and share a lot of airframe powertrain). It's sad to see a perfectly good Beaver stuck in a hangar. Such useful aircraft, even the prototype had a long career in commercial aviation before ending up in a museum (My dad actually flew FHB, the prototype Beaver, quite a number of times when he worked for Norcanair) -- M.
