This is worthless without pics :)

Got my licence at 17. Dad sold his last plane when I was 22. Rented for a bit but gave it up when I got married. I'll be back someday...

Here is the plane we were in. A cessna Caravan on amphibious floats. I picked up Jeff in Simsbury and we delivered the plane to White Plains. Our office is located there. We also have a Cessna Citation X and a King Air 350. We then hoped in our Piper Archer and Jeff flew back to Simsbury. He did a great job. We even hit 83 on the GPS on the way home :party-smiley-004:

That's a bad ass setup! Only float plane I've been in is an Aeronca sedan. I've always admired the Lake 250-270's.

Sea2jet, the caravan is a great airplane. My ex chief pilot did the certifiacation on the floats for the caravan when he worked for Cessna. He has some great stories.

I flew the X for the last decade and it is an awesome machine.

That's awesome. I have been all over the world in our Citation X. Longest trip was to New Zealand thru Hilo, HI. and Raratonga in the Cook Islands. Been to Russia, Dubai, and all over the UK. Fun airplane, but as Jeff noted, kind of cramped up in the cockpit. The Cessna Caravan is my favorite to fly. I have a lot of time landing in the East River and taking people out to the Hamptons. Taking the X down to PBI this weekend for the FT Lauderdale boat show. Here is a picture someone took.
