Looks a little better sitting in the water in the bayou than on the taxiway in front of PK Floats.

Salt in the wound here is that I live 1 block from a large (2.5 miles x 1/4 mi) private urban lake in the Portland area.
I just chugged an IPA. Feeling saucier than usual.

I always assumed the Lake Oswego restriction is from a HOA.
Do you have access to that HOA?
Can you ask them why?
Can you put forth a proposal to open access?

It's definitely the Lake Corp. The residents along the shoreline are shareholders. Major NIMBY even though everyone has a ski boat. I'm sure there's some rich history on the topic and we've have to query our elders to discover it.

Aside from the wind, we had a nice day for a little photo shoot with the wagons.

Epic. I'm in love with the lines of your 170B on floats.

No floatplane in this picture but the sunrise didn’t need any “help” to make it photogenic

The first floatplane, and the first U.S. Navy airplane. Faithful replica of a 1911 Curtiss A-1.Image
