Exceptional weather for this year's meeting and a coupla new planes:
I had the chance to fly on the Sea Bee, one of only seven airworthy examples, over the UNESCO protected Lavaux vineyards:

Great pictures! Living is Seattle, I saw seaplanes all the time. In fact, there's a regional airline called Kenmore Air that has a fleet of seaplanes and flies off Lake Union. However, I never saw one like the Sea Bee. That thing is crazy looking! |

Great to see a Twin Bee in action. Never had the pleasure of seeing one in the flesh myself. |
