Seaplane-a-Palooza 2019
Tavares, Florida March 29-30th - It was a beautiful day for a splash-in at Tavares! An event that gets bigger every year thanks to the town of Tavares and Rob Galloway of the Jones Brothers Seaplane Company. Below are the photos from the event. Tavares: "America's Seaplane City".  East ramp: The nicest Beaver I have ever seen! The Seabee ain't bad either!
 (Click for full size) See video here (MP4) Contact Elaine or Joe Katzenberger at: elainegkatz@gmail.com or joeckatz@gmail.com ============================================ Members Bruce Hinds and John Cuny at Lake Isabel north of Seattle...Beautiful!
Bruce says, "This lake is one way in, one way out but there is a gap at the far end you can pass through if things don't look right. Water is crystal clear and no noise, bugs or people." Sounds really fun. John says, "Nice day at an Alpine Lake, 3200' MSL. Nice to have the big engine on the Seabee. Peaks in the area 5000+." All photos by John Cuny except for the lower right corner by Mike Arntzen (Sportsman pilot). ==========================================================  ========================================================================== Before you buy, do a pre-buy inspection.
