Not a 206; 'looks smaller and as "regular-looking" engine compartment - not
elongated.
'May be a recip engine with big, loud supercharger - sure makes it sound
like turboprop - very distinctive.
'Haven't heard it today; may have been somebody here for the air show at
base Sat, Sun, but it stayed clear of the base; appeared to be flying in and
out of civ airport coupla miles away.
