This is the Seair landing with the Northwing Mustang II 19
meter strutted wing. This wing can be folded up and left on the boat when
it is being launched or removed from the water.

And here's what the boat looks like when
it's launching with the wing folded up on top of the boat. This is
actually a picture of the Seair being launched at the Kankakee River on a
beautiful summer day.

It's the Seair
Airboat! This is a great shot of the Seair as without the wing, running on
the river as an 'air' boat. These work great in shallow waters.

This is another shot of the Flying Boat
scooting up the river without the wing on it. Depending on how rough the
water is, it can zoom accross the water at about 30mph.

This shot shows the Seair flying away, but
with the new 19 meter wing. Notice the lack of a kingpost - that is one of
the features of the strutted wing. Our pilot looks very relaxed in this
shot!

Here's a close where
you can see the Seair's new instrument pod at the front of the
boat. The bright yellow pod is much easier to read. The Seair also has a
new gas tank gauge that is mounted directly on the tank for easier and
more accurate readings.

If you look at the
larger version of this image, you will see a picture of Ed pulling up his
rudder by hand, and an alligator watching him. The alligator is kind of
hard to see, but it's really there. This is from
Sun 'N' Fun in Lakeland Florida, in 2000. This is the reason we designed the new retractable
rudder!

Here's a fun shot of
the Seair, tied up at the back of our 25' Maxxum Boat. It's a fun
afternoon when we can take the big boat and the flying boat out.

This is what happens
when you fly at a busy lake on a busy day. The boat was really far away,
but the perspective makes it look closer than it really was. Everyone
wants to come and see the Flying Boat!

This is a great shot of Ed landing with a
passenger. This was a dead-stick landing (with the engine turned off). You
can see the propeller blade not moving as they land engine off! This was a
very windy day, and it was perfect for a nice
'touch-then-start-the-engine-and-go' flight.

customer request.

Here's Ed with a student pilot. This shot
shows the guys hooking up their on-board radios. You can also see the life
preservers that we always fly with. Safety is always #1.

This is a cool shot of the Seair on the
beach with the morning mist showing over the top of the wing. Early
morning flights are best since the winds are the calmest. Although the
Seair will do great in breezes, it's the most fun for the passengers if
the winds are calm, so most of our student lessons are early morning
flights.

This is flying at Lake Sammamish, Washington
(just east of Seattle). This is a beautiful lake to fly, with a lot of
mansions surrounding the lake, and Mt. Rainier in the distance at the end
of the lake. This was a perfect flying day! Hot, sunny, and breezy!

Flying with a student. This lesson was
actually a gift for Father's day from a friend of ours to his dad. His dad
barely stopped smiling the whole trip!

This is an awesome landing shot.
Look at the cool pattern left in the spray of the rudder!

The Seair Flying Boat was featured twice on
NBC's 'The Today Show'. Here is a picture of Corey Greenburg (the
gadget guy) explaining to Matt Lauer about why the Seair Flying Boat is
the COOLEST Father's Day present!

Okay, we had to include this for historical
reference. Our first 'promotional' effort from several years ago was
getting the Seair featured in an episode of Baywatch! You can still catch
this episodes in reruns occasionally.
