Water Flying
Cover Story: Tanglefoot
The spirit of adventure is what led many of us to pursue flying seaplanes, and one place that spirit is in full bloom is the Tanglefoot Splash-in. The vent takes place at a crown jewel among seaplane bases on Priest Lake in the far northwestern corner of Idaho. A trip to the splash-in delivers on so many levels, beginning with traveling to the event.
CCW Around Australia
2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the first flight around Australia—an ideal historical marker for the adventuresome author to re-create. This story begins and finishes at RAAF Point Cook, on the shore of Melbourne’s Port Phillip, with a six week, counterclockwise, 8,500-nmi flight in the author’s Seabear seaplane.
Triple the Fun
It’s not unusual for one or more sons or daughters in a family to follow a course flown by Dad or Mom and, like them, learn to fly. That was indeed the case with Sam Rowe. And then Parker Rowe. And, finally, Erin Rowe. They are not just the children of Ricci Rowe of Winter Haven, Florida, they are triplets, and each has followed their father’s example and become a seaplane pilot.
Seaplane pilots and non-pilots that are fans of seaplanes, if you are not getting Water Flying magazine you are missing out on the only full color magazine dedicated to covering the entire seaplane community from Alaska to Florida from Australia to Lake Como, Italy and all points in between.
