Saturday I thought I was seeing things when this plane comes in the Moabi channel from the river. It taxied about half way in, then turned and beached itself. The pilot and his family jumped out and swam around like the rest of us. They said they had flown it from Minnasota and it was going to be based out of Moabi. Cool pics.

Yeah, that's a nicely restored old Beech 18 with floats......like the one Sky King used to fly on old TV series (only Sky King didn't have the floats).

It was pretty cool, the owner was letting kids crawl thru the plane and jump off the wings into the channel.

Beautiful Plane - wish I would have been there to see that. Hope to see you all there (and the plane) in the near future.

I have some really good pics if I can figure out why it is not letting me attach.
Any ideas? Each attachment fails.

Nice!
And Sky King didn't fly a Beech 18... :D
He flew an T-50 "Bamboo Bomber" and a 310 in the later shows... both of them Cessnas...

Nice Classic D-18 with floats. I got a bunch of sky dives out of one of those without the floats.
