As by request from Masmith, next week we will halt the Aussie Tour for one week, and do a one off Float Plane Hop!

Details will be uploaded Wednesday ( 11th) April, and the hop will be on the 15th April.

So, i need suggestions for places, countrys, areas which have a nice fly around, with some nice water runways.

I also need LINKS to downloadable Float Plane Aircraft (Simviation only please), after reviewing i will suggest TWO suitable downloads which everyone should get.

So, opinions away, and get searching and researching.

Hmmm the FSX Beaver is not an amphib so if we do have to land on land somewhere ill take the Grumman Goose Smiley Fine amphib and for the FS9ers the Bill Lyons Goose is a great modell.

Might I suggest when recommending aircraft for use this weekend to make sure there are models available for FS2004 and for FSX.

Okie dokie Chaps, running behind schedule at the moment (WORK).. I'm currently reviewing the Suggestions....

Final Flight Plan Details will be uploaded this Friday. Shouldn't be a problem as this will give you all plenty of time.

Many thanks - and Keep up the suggestions until then

James

FsNovice,

the Beech18 is a man's machine, you will be better off with the Lake.
