My wife grew up there. We moved to the coast of Oregon in 97. I've only lived there a couple of years. Lost my front engine over Shiprock. Pretty uneventful. Made it to the airport on the rear engine. Made me piss my pants though when you see all the emergency equiptment coming up the hill. Emediately thought "they think I'm going to die".
I've also owned a Lance (Retract Six). It was roomy, I'll give it that, but I never enjoyed the flight. That one extra engine is really nice to have. Performance is ok. I wouldn't say it was great for the fuel burn, but livable. If you are in the Farmington area and fly ALOT with full fuel full seats? I'd look into a turbo model. I had all six seats filled, full fuel on a hot day..... It made it off the runway just fine, but didn't climb too well. I think Farmington is at 6K?
Wouldn't fly anthing but a Skymaster or turbine something. Just my two cents.
