Was just flicking through the book "Standard Catalog of Piper Single Engine Aircraft" by Jim Cavanagh and came across these pics which made me think of this thread.

Renurpp,

VH-AMP if I recall. Last seen in a creek near Charmhaven.

PS: Wallarah Creek.

Funny that - none of the pics of Pipers on floats show the thing actually flying...:E

Very valid point 172.

Corporate Hoore

Pic of one landing into the river at Bankstown.
Pic taken form the tower possibly about 4 years ago.

FYI, all it took was a very simple search in Google to find this :mad: :=

This aeroplane is at present in storage but if anyone wants to get in contact with the owner, to perhaps help him get in the water/air again please PM me and I can arrange something.

I guess the one at Bankstown was at its service ceiling ;)

I love floats, and don't mind flying a Cherokee once in a while, however putting the two together!
