The 43rd annual Greenville Seaplane Fly-In, on Moosehead Lake, Maine, is September 8th to the 11th this year. I know that many folks are too Oshkosh'd and Gaggled-out by the time this comes around, and for most it's just too far, but we have a growing Northeast Searey population now, and I am hoping for a Searey gathering this year. Like past years, I'll have my plane up at the Greenville airport (3B1), probably Friday and Saturday. Maybe we can find a spot for a small Searey gaggle. There is shuttle service between the airport and the seaplane ramp where the action is. (The ramp area has become crowded over the years and I now prefer the airport, where most planes not involved in the contests go). If you're interested in any of the contests (spot landings, takeoff contest, target bombing), land on the water, come up the ramp, park and register. Loads of fun, always draws a huge crowd every year.

Mark - what is the leopard painted single engine flying boat? I have seen it before but can't remember.
That might be a fun retirement plane for a craftsman to build. Sikorsky something...

That single engine looks like it is the Sikorsky S-39. S-38 is a twin engine Sikorsky and a beautiful plane.

Yeah Randy, I found it. Apparently 40,000 hours and 20 years of restoration went into the giraffe S-39. Will have to keep flying Ol-
reliable searey...

Kermit Weeks bought it from Dick Jackson (who restored it). You can see it at Fantasy of Flight. Dick was asking $1.2M for it, but I'm pretty sure Kermit got it for less.

Yesterday was fine for flying up to the fly-in. I happened to land right behind Randy Flood and his brother, who took off from Belfast (ME). I think this the first pic of my Stingray next to a Searey. They took a shuttle to the seaplane ramp before I thought of taking pics, but I figured I could catch them later before they left. But I didn't get a chance to.
For "the rest of the story", see my post on STS.
