Part 2 commences:

Taken in '10. Belite ultralight, I don't know the specific model. They are a neat little tube-and-rag ultralight that uses a single cylinder two-stroke engine.

I believe that this is a Pitts S-2, on floats no less. A biplane on floats, that's just something that you don't see everyday.

Taken in '10. This is an Icon A-5. It's an all composite amphibian.

Another shot of the A-5. I just thought that this one turned out nice because of the way that the plane is in focus but the tree branches in front are blurred.

The A-5 again. In this shot you get a better sense of what it looks like. I included three pictures of the A-5 because I just think that it's a neat looking airplane.

Well, that was the best of my float plane pictures. I hope you all enjoyed them.

The "Pitts" is actually a Micro Mong.

Very, very nice. The first shot of the Icon is, for lack of a better word, perfect. Thanks for sharing.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Shows what I know about bi-planes. Wink

Thanks for that info though.

Great pictures! Shocked

Isn't the Icon an oxymoron though, a hydroplane with wings! Grin
