“Almost” seems to be the new operative word in the corrected version.
The “venerated” Cessna 185s which I flew in an earlier lifetime actually could carry their own empty weight in useful load. In that setting, for which they were made, we routinely loaded and hauled two full 55 gallon steel barrels standing up. Looking at the Bearhawk it seems like a person would be hard pressed to fit a 55 gallon barrel through that door.
