Really looking forward to it. I've been in previous years and it is always a lot of fun. Taking my grandson this year and it should be a great day for us both.

 

Hope you get the best of weather - it can be quite variable this time of year. Most predictable weather is mid to late Autumn.

Hi Adam,Can you PM me your contact details please so I can discuss float plane endorsement in the C185.

You do know don't you David, that even though it's a C185, when it's on floats, it hasn't got a tail wheel? Well, not one that works, that is....

I heard that Bruce told Tecnam about you and I, and that's why they've put tailskids on their aircraft.
