8-Place K300/C400 model


Well known Northwest Bush Pilot, and Principal Sherpa Designer, Bryon Root takes a break at a sandbar on the Willamette River with the first Sherpa prototype (1415B).
Although this version is not being offered for resale, a re-design of the fuselage incorporating a five- or six-place seating configuration will be offered. Engine options include the use of an M14X 9-cylinder round Russian engine (360hp), or the 6-cylinder Lycoming engine.
N1415B, the first Sherpa prototype, has accumulated more than 1600 hours of flying time in all types of terrain. Shown here with optional 42" Tundra tires which are Super-Mudder, off-road vehicle tires with the tread removed.
Glen Gordon takes a break with N711SA (Sherpa's second prototype) shown here with optional amphib floats. (4580EDO amphibs)
Gordon has accumulated over 700 hours on this 45 year old set of floats, flying to and from the Caribbean several times. There are occasions when the side by side pilot - copilot seat arrangement is desirable but a visit with his flying companion and navigator-wife would reveal that the additional room to stretch out on either side of the pilot's seat is a real plus. This prototype design is being upgraded to the new Model K-200 (5-6 place) seating arrangement.

American Airlines 757 Capt. and future Sherpa owner, Jeff Hansen and copilot Jimmy Cash get an opportunity for a tour around the Caribbean with Glen Gordon of the Sherpa Company. In turn, Glen compares the cockpit of the Boeing 757. At right, Amphib Sherpa lines up on runway 10, St. Thomas, VI International Airport in preparation of landing literally "on the numbers".
