C208 on Floats

[Scott Dyer HPN/NY]

And 10 years ago today I had much splashing in this Beaver (Kenmore) with an hour or so of dual. Yes, Rick, it was fun in Sausalito with Aaron's bunch, and a nice dinner afterward with Amelia and my daughter Ann (who flew with us)

Way too much fun.

My, gawd, Gil. It was that long ago?

Looks like the era may have ended. Derek has sold Northwoods. Nigel and Cole are attempting to keep things going with the new owners or others.

I talked to Cole about this last month on the 15th, our shared birthday, when he told me it looked like things were ending for us at CAD. I didn't realize Northwoods had been sold. Bummer.

Just checked: I got my commercial seaplane rating on July 25, 1998. I had a toral of 2.5 hours when I took the checkride. I am now all the way up to seven hours on floats.
