hahahha can't wait for the next one!

Another 50pph and you're in Pilatus land at the same speed :D think of all the dogs! A guy here has a long body MU-2, seems to like the GPU for starts. Very excited to see you guys make use of it!

First I've read anything of this story, thanks for joining us!

Looks like it may be this one, neat system! I calibrated and set one up just last week.

Very sad to hear of this. Always thoroughly enjoyed reading anything Ben had to offer.

Flying boats are my favorite! The Beriev is a neat machine. Lots of titanium in it. I'd love to fly one. Ask me (almost) anything about the Seawind - I have a flying boatload of time in it.

Read stuff like this

Loved it as soon as I saw it at SnF a few years ago. Just recently noticing it has Seawind-ish main gear. I'd love the opportunity to fly one someday.

Tax write-offs are a popular reason.

Welcome! Where do you hail from?

Agreed on all counts! Paul Furnee is a fantastic guy, I trained with him for my CSES in a Buccaneer. I really think people are going to get hurt in these things because of the mentality passed down from the manufacturer. It's a lot easier to frig up on the water than most people realize.

Likewise. No seaplane Qs on my CFI initial. Was certainly prepared for it though!

What a thread. Thanks for the updates, Ron!

Saw the CAP launch a set of cowl plugs about 50' into the air. Wee! Also, a based aircraft on the field complained that his Cherokee Six was running rough and shut off him on short final at another airport, inspect and advise...it stays tied down outside and I just had a hunch before I went...

Worst airplane for me? Flight Design CTLS. Just did not seem well put together. Hand brake on the throttle quadrant is clunky. Can't move the rudder pedals until you have the airplane moving otherwise you'll bend stuff. Handled fine in smooth air, but the afternoon bumps in that airplane took...

Columbia Aircraft in Bloomsburg PA since you're so local. Excellent work and just great to deal with the whole way around.

Excellent taste in airplanes!

This is the way to do it. I'm a CFI in the Harrisburg area with enough (about 100 hours) of time in 182s ranging from A thru T models - let me know if I can help you in any way.

Agreed on the Arrow. It consistently and reliably glides like ****. Turn towards the runway within 2 seconds of pulling the power or you won't make it. Because of that, in my opinion, it makes the power off 180 easier than a better gliding airplane like a 172 or Archer. Commercial land in an...

I got a "I have a phone number, for you advise ready to copy" about six months ago, I was pretty positive I was about to be on the receiving end of a noise complaint because I was doing pattern-work in the Seawind (noisy) with the owner. Turns out the airport just thought it was a cool airplane...
