Great pictures! Living is Seattle, I saw seaplanes all the time. In fact, there's a regional airline called Kenmore Air that has a fleet of seaplanes and flies off Lake Union. However, I never saw one like the Sea Bee. That thing is crazy looking!

Great to see a Twin Bee in action. Never had the pleasure of seeing one in the flesh myself.

Actually, the pilot has a second Twin Bee which he is actually slowly restoring after being heavily damaged in a storm back in 1995.

If you'd like to attend, I heard that the Flying Bulls are sending their Caravan next year.

So, since you're in Austria, I though that you might.... Just a thought. Even though you're quite a distance from Salzburg.
