 <\/p>\n

We’ve sure been busy around here – lots of flights, lots of checkrides!<\/p>\n

I’ve made some great new friends, from as far away as Holland<\/a>, from Kansas City<\/a>, and also from nearby – southeast King County.\u00c2\u00a0It’s been a blast!<\/p>\n

My friend Nicole comes from the Netherlands, and when she’s not flying seaplanes, she’s a captain for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines<\/a>. She flies a great big 747-400!\u00c2\u00a0 But she says she loves the thrill of going “low and slow” in the seaplane. I had fun playing with her children and husband, too, while she flew.<\/p>\n

My pal Dan lives here in the Seattle area, and he visited our booth at the Pacific Northwest Aviation Trade Show <\/a>last February.\u00c2\u00a0 He took us up on our trade show offer of 10% off the ASES rating, and we’re glad he did.\u00c2\u00a0 Dan works for the FAA, keeping an eye on towers and obstacles around here for us.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank goodness!\u00c2\u00a0 Lake Union is a busy place these days, with construction and so forth.<\/p>\n

My friend Ron travelled here from Kansas City, flying his very own Piper Malibu<\/a> with his partner Robin.\u00c2\u00a0 Ron, John, and Kit all know each other from NGPA<\/a>, and it was great to have him here for the float rating training. Ron worked with my best buddy Greg, who was in town for a few weeks – (Greg lives in Florida year-round now, but visits us during the summer to get away from the heat!)<\/p>\n

So, you see, you can live here in Seattle or come to us from far away – come fly with us, and get your seaplane rating, too!<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/em><\/p>\n
