First video of my latest project airplane. I did not film the build, but it's done after almost 2 years. Major overhaul of many systems including paint, windows, interior, avionics. The goal was to save weight were possible. Here's one of our favorite places. About a mile long at 3000' msl. Hopefully many more memories to be made with this adventure machine both on amphibious floats, and in the backcountry on standard gear.

    Fun watching this.I worked at Cessna in late 1978 installing wings on the 206,207 and 210 aircraft.These were my favorites.

    Wow this was better than meditation at the end of a busy day. I fantasized about a little campfire and a comfy tent set up on that sand bar, getting away from it all.

    Holy sh!t. Mission ready aircraft and pilot. That entire flight was a very well flown approach to that nestled body of water. Expertly executed utilizing every natural feature of the landscape. Wow.
