Most fun flying with your clothes on!

I have a friend, Chester Lawson, here at Spruce Creek, who teaches MES

If I can get an ATP MEL/MES I will consider it.



I've always wanted to do this... seems like an easy way to avoid a biennial.
I've already got comm-inst-ASMEL. The local guy I mentioned before is flying
some lightweight single like a Taylorcraft or something similar on floats off
Lake Wylie, SC.

Where is Spruce Creek, if you know? And where is Jack Brown's? I know it's in
Winter Haven but I'm not sure what that's close to in Florida.

Yes, I know I'm being lazy but what the hell... you brought it up!

As an aside, my dad flew (amongst others) the SA-16 Albatross when he was in Air
Rescue at Otis AFB on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I asked him his biggest
impression of flying that manly beast and he looked at me and said: "HUH?"

Apparently it was a bit loud.



Spruce creek is near Daytona, I believe. Winter Haven is about 30
minutes south of Orlando.

Huh? The cub is not that loud. We flew with the window open. It was a
little cold in the morning.

I think he was saying that the Albatross was loud.

That would be correct. According to my dad, who also flew C-45, C-46, C-47,
C-54, and C-121 amongst others, REAL LOUD. Of course the resulting hearing loss
affected his higher frequencies the most... like the voice of my late mother
when she was calling him. G

I believe that affliction is called "selective hearing loss."

I suffer that, also. Can you call that "suffering?" g
