Now that the weather gets better the skydive season starts again, for me a reason to see D-EKJS Cessna 206 soloy conversion again. It is based at flugplatz Grefrath Niershorst just across the border near Venlo.
Not many 206 soloy conversions can be seen closeby, the ones i know:
F-HMDR: can be found at Teuge during maintenance there
F-HIDZ: based at aérodrome de Lille Marcq-en-Barœul close to Belgium border
PH-ENP: based at Hoevenen airfield near Antwerpen and maintenance at Seppe
D-EKJS: based at flugplatz Grefrath Niershorst

F-HIDZ Cessna U206 Skywwagon (c/n U206-0380, ex G-ATCE, N2180F, built in 1965) is a very special one: this aircraft is not a Soloy (Rolls-Royce / Allison 250 powered) version but was refurbished in 2020 by Icarius Aerotechnics at Gap-Tallard Airfield as "Super 6" with a 550shp Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-21 engine.
