It's time to talk about floatplanes and flying boats

Jay....best of luck in your new (Air) venture! AVweb did a feature at Sun 'n Fun with a gentleman from New Hampshire on his beautiful restoration of an S-39.

Perhaps he has some parts and pieces he'd be willing to part with.

Just to show what a small world aviation is, I was talking to a couple of pilots from Wisconsin on the ramp Sunday, and they commented on a Lake Amphib parked on the grass. I mentioned that I knew someone who was opening a hotel in Texas with rooms named after floatplanes, and they mentioned that they knew a guy named Jay who had a hotel in Iowa with aviation-themed rooms!

Jay, I guess everyone knows you!
