dispatched a water moccasin that was lingering near the launchpoint
That aul carry on just sends shivers down my spine. I live/eat/sleep to float fly, but not if Florida was free would I share the water flying environment with one of them snakes... Jon Brown can come over here to me if he wants but wont be the other way round.
Wouldn't get too caught up in the politics around Loch Earn. Always been like that and it spoils the whole thing in my mind. No politics around Lough Erne and "The Amphib Flying Club" can even put your other half in the back seat which surely makes the rating an easy sell at home.
Look out for Pilot Magazine covering how it should be done - shortly!
