October meeting
Sarah Tamar, an active seaplane pilot and instructor will be our presenter at the October 20th meeting. She will talk about float flying in NYC, Florida, and the Bahamas, and the unique challenges of urban Northeast bush flying. She has graciously arranged to have her company's Caravan on floats named "Flying Fish" fly in for the meeting. If you have not seen one up close you will be surprised how big it is.
