  • On this adventure I headed out with a 25 knot head wind, had to land in 20+ knots of wind for my first stop to refuel. Landed in a few lakes to keep dumping gas cans in the wings. after a long day of flying i realized with the hour time change I would be landing in the Ohio River after dark. (not Recommended )

    That is the issue with straight floats. If there are no seaplane bases you are stuck.

    Glad you enjoyed our little town of Rising Sun! I live by the boat ramp there and love watching the seaplanes out on the river.

      Oh man I really did. The people there were great. Troy was just amazing. He helped me out with so much

    Very cool. I'm planning on getting my SES rating at Mac's this next spring. Looking forward to the rest of your trip.

    Cool video, but was hoping to see some night float plane landing action.

      I'd say it's hairy enough trying to get the plane down without fiddling with cameras😅

    Just got recommended, really enjoyed it, subscribed. Did you just go to the float plane meet up unplanned, seemed like a great event.

    Why not go amphibian? It expensive but its worth it imo

    • @StraightandLevelCFI
      @StraightandLevelCFI  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As much as i wanted to, i do air tours in a 172 if i went amphibian i would loose 130 pounds of useful load, turning my airplane into a 3 seater. so it just didn't work out
