As by request from Masmith, next week we will halt the Aussie Tour for one week, and do a one off Float Plane Hop!
Details will be uploaded Wednesday ( 11th) April, and the hop will be on the 15th April.
So, i need suggestions for places, countrys, areas which have a nice fly around, with some nice water runways.
I also need LINKS to downloadable Float Plane Aircraft (Simviation only please), after reviewing i will suggest TWO suitable downloads which everyone should get.
So, opinions away, and get searching and researching.

...dont forget Lads, if there is a chance that we have to set down on land anywhere, our craft will be required to be fitted with
Amphibious Floats, like Luke's above......
...ie;
ones with wheels!....

Hmmm the FSX Beaver is not an amphib so if we do have to land on land somewhere ill take the Grumman Goose
Fine amphib and for the FS9ers the Bill Lyons Goose is a great modell.

I wish I could find a decent Seabee... the only freware one I've ever found has serious handling problems.

Might I suggest when recommending aircraft for use this weekend to make sure there are models available for FS2004 and for FSX.
