Hey Brian, I need to get up there after it dries up enough to finish spraying the soybeans.

The floatplanes are back in Minnesota after a warm Florida winter, we have limited openings for this summer season so if interested in a floatplane to fly solo or going on some of our interesting group flying tours, let us know at fly@adventureseaplanes.com.

Just a quick pitch for Brian and his business up there in Lino Lakes, MN. Last year I flew my 185 up there and spent a week with Brian. I went from no float experience to getting my cert, picking up a set of "near mint" old PK's and taking off with the wife and dog to Northern Ontario. We spent a month and a half up there, helping out at my friends camp and flying whenever we had time, 70 hours total, complete with a trip to arctic quebec. Brian's training was great, and Surfside is a great place to spend a some time.

I'll be headed back up there in a few weeks to brush up a bit, pick up my floats and head back to Canada.
