I was actually having fun while training for the rating. That was a change.
Next year? CMES? That will round out the powered rating for me.



There's a guy in the area who supposedly teaches a SES course for about
$800 or
so. What did you have to do? Any commercial maneuvers?



My rating cost me $1000 for everything. This included the instructors,
plane, and examiner fee. I went to Browns Seaplane base in Winter Haven,
FL. Nice folks.

I did a lot of take off and landings. Since I already had at least a
Commercial Single Engine this was just an add on. I only had to do the
required items for the Sea side. I could not get a ATP Airplane Single
engine Sea since the Cub has no Instrument for approaches. That is fine.
I had a blast flying the Cub!

I am hoping to go back next year and get the ATP-MES. They have a plane
to do that.

I have a friend, Chester Lawson, here at Spruce Creek, who teaches MES
in a Super Widgeon. People come from all over the world to get their MES
from him.

Another popular place is Terri Cambell's NorCal Aviation in the
California Sierras. I did my PP-SES and CP-SES with her, but she also
has a twin (Apache) on floats.

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.

Thank You,

Uh Only one person has seen me fly with my clothes off. Me. You would
have to become a lot closer to see me with anything but a full set of
clothes on.

Congratulations on the rating Michelle!

"(They Long To Be) Close To You"

Words & Music: Burt Bacharach & Hal David

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.


"So, do I get a peak?"

"Ok, but we're going inverted first."

"Huh?"

"Men are clueless!"

[later in the flight]

"Oh boy. We're going inverted. We're going inverted."

"There. You happy now?"

"I think I'm going to be sick...."

"I KNEW this was a bad idea!"

Tell me why than
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
