1. Books? 2. Lakes

1. Reading the yard-sale-acquired novel, "Flight of the
Intruder" (Stephen Coonts) and I was wondering if anyone knows a good
novel which is similarly specific as to what is happening in the
cockpit as the first three chapters, at least, of that novel, except
specific to GA or other non-military aircraft. 2. Unrelated second
question. If someone bought something like a Lake Renegade and stuck
in a sal****er bay (rather than a Lake), would that be the kiss of
death, or is it normal?

I can't think of any books that discribe a bombing run or a carrier landing
in a GA aircraft. But it's been a LONG time since I read FotI.

I know someone with a Lake who is looking at salt water property. He
just had the plane repainted and paid extra for extra protection for the
hull (don't remember exactly what).

Margy

There are techniques to combat the corrosion. Occasional salt water
operation is no big deal (with proper clean up after). Continuous salt water
exposure is being done with Lakes and many other kinds of float planes.
Constant attention is required.

Why do you ask?
