Hello from the Oregon coast

[highroad]

Hey folks,
Zane from BCP encouraged me to sign up for the forum.....probably so I would stop pestering him with texts asking BH questions, lol!

I know I have met many of you online, or at various backcountry locations, but wanted to officially introduce myself. I've gotten most of my backcountry experience in Kitfox's, a modified Pacer, and a Maule, but have always wanted a Bearhawk. Eight or nine years ago, I flew Mark G. Bearhawk at the Arlington fly in as we were starting to outgrow our Pacer. It just wasn't the right time for me to start a build project, so we ended up buying a nicely set up Maule.

Well, I'm now flying a Bonanza and a Pitts, and really missing having a backcountry airplane. Last weekend, we took a friend of mines Pacer into Chukar flats on the John Day to show him around, and it really struck me how much I miss having an airplane to take the family into places like that to camp. We are starting to dream about building/buying a Bearhawk in the future.

Looking forward to learning more about this great aircraft!

Welcome! Do you live in Zane's part of the country?

Hi Brent! Where on the coast are you?

Hey old buddy

[whee]

I didn't even know you sold the Maule, but my head is stuck pretty deep in the sand at present.

I don't think Z minds, I text him frequently and he almost always responds. 😆
