Chris, I was impressed with this 235 HP Maule that has been pulling
training gliders for the past week alongside a 182, both owned by the
Civil Air Patrol. They have been training cadets from all over the
country, each aircraft putting in 12-hr days. I can't tell about the
roof, but the downward visibility is certainly there.

Some time ago I took the opportunity to raft the Middle Fork of the
Salmon River, then the main fork. Along the middle fork there are a number of
back country airfields, as there are few if any roads. The favourite aircraft
back there is the Cassna 182. A few other tailwheel planes were to be seen.
Alaska seems to be much the same for small aircraft. My choice would be
a 150HP PA-18 with a full greenhouse (L-21), flaps, and a few other goodies.

I've been watching the progress on an old Cessna 140. It's been
stripped down with everything removed. Literally everything. No wings,
tail, windows, interior or mounts ahead of the firewall. Just the body
shell. Then a couple weeks ago, it had all remaining paint taken off
and then primed. This last week, new engine mounts, new tail section
and wheels thrown under it. Nearby is a new set of wings waiting for
install.
