Going "Love Bug" Buggy

A little low down flying with bugs on the leading edge and in the teeth!

Man....that thing hauls ass down the river. It really is like an 'air boat'!
Does the mutt need goggles?
Looks like fun flying.

Great video.

Thanks for the ride.

IFR and freezing rain here in the Washington desert, I needed a 'flight'!

One nice thing about the desert. Almost no bugs, especially like those suckers.

That plane is fast!

I love the illuminated grass strip, very nice.

You can fly open cockpit down here just about all year without a heavy coat and of course in the summer you about need an open cockpit (at least when you are flying down low). Thanks for watching.

Yeah the Pooch still likes to get up in the air! Maybe I can get some video of my old Drifter with the new owner. He put a Rotax 670 on it and tells me I need to fly it and check it out. I'm gonna take him up on it! Thanks for watching.

Re: Going "Love Bug" Buggy

That was a sweet video! Guess you have to watch out for 'gators swimming out in front of you at that altitude!

These waters are full of gators and big ones! They really churn the water when you give 'em a low pass, haha. Thanks for watching.

I got my seaplane rating at Jack Brown's in Winter Haven, Fl but never had my own floatplane. One of these days! Thanks for watching.
