Robert Chamber introduced us to a Mallard owner at Bridgeport last summer. The owner told us that he would not land his plane in any salt water.

That would be Jack Bart. I know him from my days in Ops at Bridgeport.
I flew in his Mallard a few years back up to Nashua. Man, does that
thing handle like a truck. Built-in delay to roll inputs, but those
1340 Pratts sound awesome. He recently added a Twin Beech (loves round
engines I guess)
