I'm interested in flying a few hours in Cessna C206 (familiarization training and getting a record in my logbook).

Probably anybody can advice any C206 operator/owner or a flight school? There are not plenty of them across the US. Location does not matter.

There are plenty of C206s in the US, but no endorsement is required to fly one. Which country are you from?

The problem with the 206 is the cost, therefore they are very expensive to insure (compared to a Cessna 172) and they are not very common as rental aircraft.

OK, let's call it differential training. I understand that according to FAA I need only complex and HP endorsements (which I already have), but I need some practice in that aircraft. Costs are high, but they are lower in the US that almost anywhere else. I'm not interested in renting, just some dual time to get familiar with the aircraft.

I already found out that they are not common at all, that's why I created this post. All I found is a couple of operators and a very old post here, so I will appreciate any relevant info about it.

That's exactly what I've already found when I was talking about just a couple of operators, but thank you anyway. They are kinda expensive (probably year and G1000 matters), but can work as a last resort.
