We bring seaplane aviation closer to people
Week walked around the Internet a photo series from the beginning of the fifties. A former fighter Catalina has become a luxury yacht in the sky. This triggered my memories of old timer seaplane, I went twice to its board.
New Russian Chirok amphibious drone’s small version showed first time last summer. The black new seaplane unique feature was the Chirok’s air cushion is fully-retractable during flight and water and snow landing not open it. This week at the MAKS 2015 airshow near Moscow you can see its white larger version, which can already lead pilots.
Recently was the world’s largest annual aircraft pilot’s meeting at Oshkosh, near Chicago, where seaplanes also showcased. Alex McNaught from Australia sent us a reportage with images about osh15. The end of this article we recommend a seaplane captain blogpost, who from Singapore came to the meeting.
Two weeks ago on Scalaria Air Challenge the Dornier Do-24ATT old timer flying boat has been accident on landing. Video, images and reviews, descriptions of the heavy landing. Good news, the Do-24ATT already is parking in front of Red Bull Flying Bulls hangar, not far from the St. Wolfgang Lake.
The Mazury Airshow is preferably famous for the acrobatic flight. Aerobatics, fighter and old timer aircrafts, helikopters, paragliders fly on the airshow. The demonstration flights are above the beach, therefore in recent years the seaplanes flew from the water, we show some of them. The aircrafts will fly again at the end of next week, because we asked from airshow organiser, which seaplanes will arrive this year?
Next week comes along with the key event for all aviation enthusiasts. Again this year, French seaplane aircraft factory LISA Airplanes’s team looks forward to welcoming interested everyone at the greatest light aviation show in the World, the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh.
Beginning of May the seaplane pilots meeting was held third time on the Spanish Mallorca Island, near the base of the 43rd Grupo (Group) Firefighting Squadron of the Spanish Air Force.
The first production version of the ICON A5 debuted at EAA AirVenture last week. 50 pictures about it.
In the heart of Styria on the beautiful Grundlsee annually hosts the seaplane international meeting for electrically powered model airplanes of the IGE-Salzkammergut Austria were we are at the end of May.
The EAA Airventure Oshkosh, which is the world’s largest light aircraft pilot meeting, was held on the end of July in the USA. Two promising and innovative seaplanes of the recent years run against each other for the customers’ favour.
