Gidday Gidday,
Here on a seaplane honeymoon (
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=325266) we're loving Australia, each other and the adventure of new places, new people and new planes. As much fun as we've had in Victoria though it's time to head the camper on up into New South Wales.
Training with the two operators down here my eyes were really opened. I realized again how specialized the world of the professional seaplane pilots is, and a little of how much there is to take on board. It really requires a different mindset. A quote from the Melbourne Seaplanes Training Syllabus keeps running through the old noggin; "Further training on the more advanced aspects and flying with experienced pilots is encouraged and recommended so that with care and responsibility you can enjoy floatplane flying as one of the most rewarding forms of flying."
That's great advice that we intend to head. So we’re on the hunt for any seaplanes, any seaplane pilots, and any seaplane instructors in the land of the Blues.
Anyone care to let any cats out any bags?
Splish-splash,
We love seaplanes
