Water Flying
Cover Story: Albatross Checkout
A few decades after Grumman had moved away from seaplanes, the company got back in the game to make one more. In 1981 it came out with the G-111, which had the distinction of being the very last of the Grumman amphibs. The author gets a checkout in one, a living relic from a distinctive time in commercial aviation that no longer exists.
The Need for Funding
The Seaplane Foundation has brought Kelsey Montry aboard as Director of Development and Engagement, a new staff position focused on growing the foundation’s financial resources.
The Amphibious Conundrum
Why do gear-down water landings continue to occur and, more importantly, how can we reduce the incidence of these terrible events? Why is it that even very experienced pilots can neglect to properly position the landing gear prior to landing? The author, who gained his considerable experience flying amphibs as an Alaskan Trooper, has a few thoughts.
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.
