Tee hee. Well, I just booked a flight while I was on holiday. Just for the experience. And, well, it was such fun sitting in a super cub watching the little waves licking the floats, engine ticking over as I lined it up for takeoff, then swooping over the lake...
Five water landings, one runway landing, in an hour. Ok, I admit it, I was hooked. Boating in an aeroplane. Unless something truly dreadful happens, that's my autumn holiday sorted. Fly down with a tent in the back and camp under the wing. I'll tell you about it when I've been back. It's not really that expensive, compared to a boring DR400 at my home airfield. Sure, it costs more than flying my own cub, but someone has to buy and maintain the floats.
The airfield restaurant is pretty good, too.
