I've had a terrific time with this airplane. Two trips to Alaska on
wheels. Two trips to Canada on floats. A trip to Maine on floats. Lots
of float flying in Washington and Minnesota. Also, tons of short hops
on both floats and wheels. I've landed at most of the Idaho backcountry
airpstrips (very challenging). Been to almost every state in the nation
with it. On wheels it's a tailweel. Take it out and land it off field.
On floats its an amphib creature, very different aircraft. Being able
to land on lakes opens up many, many possibilities. Have you seen the
ads where the guy is dreaming of retirement and flying a floatplane?
That is me. Could be you.

As for stopping flying. I have done that, well almost. I only fly the
plane enough to keep it current, about once a week, short trip. Just
enough to stretch it's legs. The plane is in good shape. Someone else
should buy it and have their fun with it. It really is an experience
like no other. Price is right too.
