Charles, thank you so much for the positive comments! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the event, and thank you for coming out. Seeing a great turnout despite some less-than-desirable weather really meant a lot to us.
Tom, it was wonderful meeting you and glad to hear you enjoyed the event as well. We know where to find you a Caravan too, when the time comes 😉
I attended this event and it was 1st class. Well attended and had great presentations on float planes and safety Faa fastteam also did a presentation elegible for wings credit.Had a large group of pilots and the food was great. Thanks to Wipaire and hope fore great success at Leesburg
I agree … Wipaire put on a first-class event with great presentations and lots of good food.
Despite low ceilings and some rain, they attracted about 130 people.
We spent Saturday night nearby at Tavares, “America’s Seaplane City,” and it was cool to see one of the Caravan amphibians from the Wipaire event taxi up on the ramp for the night.
I want one …
Great photos Tom! I would have loved to have been there.
