AWA Canada has purchased a 1975 Cessna 206 for the Sioux Lookout, Ontario project. This aircraft can carry more and go faster than the floatplane. Floats are nice to have with all the water we fly over but they come with a cost. When the project was started it looked like the best choice but over the years there has been less and less of a need. This aircraft is much the same as the one that flew in Guyana for years. It is a wonderful fit to most of our projects. Just before we acquired the plane there were some electrical issues and the seller kindly discounted the price to reflect this. So, one of the first tasks to do was to check the radios. Putting on our headsets we checked to see if we were receiving audio. We took turns saying the words “testing, testing 1,2,3, Can you hear me now?” Oddly Ray could hear me in his headset, but I was unable to hear him in my headset.
