The June 2007 issue of Plane & Pilot has an article (p. 36) on "10 backcountry airplanes." Sure enough, the 260se is included (p. 42), along with a picture of Tom's 735GH.

"The 260se is a wonderfully strange little airplane that shouldn't be able to do what it routinely does...The airplane is unnaturally good at just about everything...coming and going in 400 feet is a breeze...If the 'runway' looks tight for a 260se, you really don't need to go there. A helicopter is your best bet." :) :)

What is even better is that the 260SE is in the top "extreme"catagory with four other airplanes. Three of those airplanes are two place leaving the 260SE and the Helio Courier the only four to six place airplanes that made it.

Wait until they get their hands on the Katmai...................
