Civilian Aviation

This pair have recently been in to Cranfield (of all places) for maintenance. Both Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibians, operating from Loch Lomond

Nice catches, I'd hate to think how much it costs to fly with them though - I'm too scared to look at their website.

Very nice ! I had a 40 minute flight around Dubai in one some time ago, Seawings, it cost the equivalent of about £100.00 and was very good ... constant chat from the crew pointing out the relevant points .... taking off from, and landing back onto water is an experience !!

Hi Mike,

trust me, it's worth every single penny!

Dave and the team are a fantastic group, so to combine my love of motorcycling, float planes and photography, then add a superb B&B called Culag Lochside Guest House and then to fly around Scotland is a treat no to be missed.

You only live once, so do it. You know you want to!

I've been lucky enough to fly with them in their first Caravan, also flown 172's and Beaver's and flown in a Twin Bee, a couple of Grumman Turbo Mallards and a Grumman Albatross. There's nothing but nothing better than seaplanes.

Regards

Reggie

Nicely captured.

I'm not generally a fan of the Caravan's looks, but once you have the belly pod removed and floats on it's not so bad.
