Here Are Some Great Photo Links!
NASA has literally thousands of pictures on the web.
You get to choose from planes, people, projects, the x-series
and many other categories. Seemingly, unlimited
numbers of photos. We paid big bucks for these pictures
and we got our money's worth.
NASA Image eXchange (NIX) Browser
Links to Thousands of NASA images.
IMHO, the best photo gallery on the web.
NASA Dryden has each picture in varying
resolutions and sizes which you get to select.
This gallery contains digitized photos of many of the unique
research aircraft flown at what is now known as NASA Dryden Flight
Research Center at Edwards, California. These images date from
the 1940s to the present. No copyright protection is asserted
for these photographs. See the NASA copyright notification for
more information. Multiple resolutions are available. All are
24-bit color JPEGs. For information on recent gallery changes,
please see the What's New page for the gallery.

to Mozambiques' relief effort by civil aviation pilots.

in Como, Italy
- This is a nice site giving a view of
seaplane flying in Italy. Includes several pics of Lake, C-172,
Super Cub seaplanes.
-
- *Pictures
From Lapland
- This site requires a password obtainable
online. It features mountain photography from northern Sweden
by three apparently eccentric photographers. One of the photographers
is a part owner of a Super Cub which he flies on floats in summer
and skis in winter.
-
- *Swedish Seaplane
Association
- This is a fine site and gives a good
view of seaplane flying in Sweden.

- Another great Swedish seaplane site.
-
- *Vallentuna,
Sweden, Flying Club
- Largest fleet of An 2s (Antonov Russian
Design Team bi-plane) I've ever seen outside Russia. You can
buy one of these 1,000 hp, 10 place bi-planes for about $10,000
US. There is a dealer for these aircraft in Renton or Auburn,
Washington. Thousands of these planes have been built for many
years in Russia and they are still in production. If you are
interested in the An 2, e-mail me and I will locate this guy
for you. He is presently using his An 2 for parachute drops south
of Seattle.
LET ME KNOW IF THIS LINK IS DEAD FOR YOU!!
My first flying lessons were in a seaplane.
This site has great pictures of Grumman Seaplanes
and links to other seaplane sites.

Amphibian Homebuilt
- A Russian designed twin engine, 4 place, homebuilt. Looks
a little like a Catalina PBY.
-
- A prototype with several flying predecessors. Looks kind
of like a Lake Amphibian, but much sleeker.
- Freshwater Adventures,
inc.
- Bristol Bay Alaska outdoor adventure. Hunting, Fishing, Rafting,
Kayaking, and Eco-Touring! Looks like it happens in a Grumman
Goose.
- Great
Planes
- An appropriately named page! Starts off with a 20 thumbnail
photo table from the oldest to newest aircraft including seaplanes.
Excellent!!
- Grumman
Goose 3-View and Stats
- After checking out this 1 page info sheet on the Grumman
Goose, backtrack the site to a lot of great aviation pictures.

Company Homepage
- Martin
Hadley's Seaplane Page
- Martin Mars
- The world's largest operational seaplanes are based in British
Columbia near Port Alberni about 100 miles north of Seattle.
This page is very informational.
- Puddle Jumper
Floats
- If you have an ultra-light that you want to turn into an
amphibian, this is the place to start.
- Ross Aircraft Company
- Manufacturer of the NEW Ross twin engined amphibian based
on the Pilatus Britten Norman Islander
- Seaplane Flight
Training- Daytona Beach, FL
- Multi-Engine sea flight training, private thru ATP in a 1946
Grumman Widgeon. This is one of my favorite seaplanes. It has
a cruising speed over 200 mph. There was a very nice Widgeon
based at Kurtzer's place in the late 60s. I haven't seen one
around Seattle in years.
- Seaplane Flying
in Quebec
- A lot of information about flying around Quebec. There is
some information about seaplane flying. How would I know, the
whole thing is in French. I would guess that the makers of this
site are separatists because they show the French flag, the Quebec
flag, but no Canadian flag. When these separatists finally break
from Canada, they will be a little strip of white "civilization"
facing an Indian nation able to split off and form a whole new
country on this continent governed by a native Indian tribe.
- Seaplane Pilot's Association
- The most comprehensive seaplane site on the internet.
