Thanks Ashar for your nice reply.  As far as the aircraft goes it's that kind of an airplane that you either love or hate. Different strokes for different folks. I kind of like it myself. It's really a lot of fun to fly and you can set her down just about anyway. The little Republic SeaBee has some interesting history behind it. Before anyone writes it off as a loser they should Google it and learn something about it.  ;)

:) Bob

Lovely shots, though the water looks kind of murky and polluted.  Might just be the angle  ;)

Yea, I like the Riviera also and hope  a little more lower keyed paint job comes along. I like to fly that SeeBee when I want to fly real slow. In answering a couple of questions asked about it. The windshield is not black. I think it's just tinted. When you are in the cockpit you can see out just fine. Why the prop wash looks like a dark circle I don't know. The prop itself is black. Maybe someone else has a answer.
