    Stevensville, Maryland:<br /><br />Chesapeake Sport Pilot, the largest light sport flight school in the country, is proud to announce that it has been selected as the Mid-Atlantic regional dealer for SeaRey amphibious aircraft. It will also be the first flight school in the country offering training on SeaReys. <br /><br />The latest model of SeaRey, the light sport LSX, improves upon nearly 20 years of refinement with increased performance and impressive flight characteristics that exceed ASTM certification standards. Currently available as a kit, it will also be available as a fully built and certified SLSA in 2011.<br /><br />The sport pilot certificate is designed for the pilot who wishes to fly for recreation, fun, and excitement and it doesn’t get any more exciting than taxiing down your back yard into the river flying off of the water! “This is an extension of our business philosophy,” explains Tim Adelman, co-owner of Chesapeake Sport Pilot, “Flying is fun!”<br /><br />Beginning in November, visitors to Chesapeake Sport Pilot’s web site will be able to watch a SeaRey kit being assembled. Chesapeake Sport Pilot’s web page will be featuring a video-blog detailing the assembly of Chesapeake Sport Pilot’s demo plane, an LSX with abundant features. The assembly project will be taking place in the Chesapeake Sport Pilot maintenance hangar located in Stevensville, Maryland. In addition to the on-line video blog, invitations will be posted on the web page for interested persons to attend special “build day” events where they can visit and learn first hand about the assembly of a SeaRey aircraft.<br /><br />For more information about Chesapeake Sport Pilot, the SeaRey build project, SeaRey sales and service please visit <a href="http://www.chesapeakesportpilot.com/">www.chesapeakesportpilot.com</a> The SeaRey company web site is located at <a href="http://www.searey.com/">www.searey.com</a> <br /><br />

    Daniel, Helen is an experienced CFI, land and sea, and has been building her SeaRey time. When she flew mine in July, she flew it like a pro.

    Enough? I think that question required a number answer not a letter answer.

    Helen, Congradulations! Finally you made it. We may send some people from here cross the big water (unforturnately not in a SeaRey) to be tained at your school.<br />

    Adam, what's the current state of general aviation in China? Is anyone permitted to own an airplane and fly it now? When I lived in Xi'an in the early 1980s, almost no one had a private car, let alone an airplane. (Even good bicycles were hard to come by then, and were rationed.) But I know conditions have improved amazingly since then. How difficult is it now for a foreigner like me to fly his own foreign-registered airplane--a SeaRey, for example--in China? And how about Chinese nationals now?

    Hi Helen you sound like a go getter type gal we need female Searey pilots. My wife got her seaplane rating with Jon Brown about 10 years ago, to bad you weren't around back then she would have love to gotten her seaplane rating with you. I scared her while I was trying to teach her water landings in my B hull when after completing 5 or 6 water landing at a lake near us she for some unknown reason thought she need to push the stick forward while we were still on the step at 35 or 40 mph and almost subbed us, after that she didn't feel comfortable trying to land my Searey on water. She went on to get her rating in Browns Cub. Hope you have fun with the Searey they're hands down the most fun of all the planes I flown. Just reminder we're going to have the 12 annual Garner's Landing Searey Gathering come March 27th 2011 hope to see you here.

    Helen - your news is great. Glad to have women instructing 'cause I believe that is inviting to new women pilots and glad to have a professional school instructing in the 'Rey. It's all good news. When you have the opportunity to visit Tampa, you'd be a welcome visitor.

    Thomas, can you move it about 600 nm up the coast?

    Bringing more women into aviation is actually something at that I and the other women at CSP are really trying to work on. We've found sport pilot to attract people across the socioeconomic spectrum and would like to see it break down the gender gap as well.<br /><br />As for bringing them to SeaRey, a few years back at SNF the SeaMax folks hired a bunch of bikini-clad 'boob job babes' to drape themselves across their plane for the entire show. It really was disgusting how every man at the base went over and photographed the 'SeaMax.' Since then, we've been plotting our counter attack with Sven. Just picture his long flowing golden hair blowing out of the SeaRey canopy and those broad shirt-less shoulders so visible as he taxis down the ramp with the canopy back...<br /> <br />Seriously though, Sven or not we really do want to tackle this gender divide. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!<br /><br />Helen

    Fair's fair - if Sven helps attract more women into aviation in general and the SeaRey in particular, more power to him!     
  
Kenneth Leonard - Oct 21,2010   Viewers  | Reply
    Helen - Just make sure Sven's hair is shorter than the length to the prop!

    Helen, you're absolutely right. I was never much one to fall for those girls dressed in skimpy mini skirts, tight jeans, or... lord forbid a bikini. Advertising should be related to the product, not some sexy, hot, voluptuous, 20 year babe hanging out all over an airplane. <br />That stuff just doesn't work around here!

    Dave, are you okay?

    Just teasing, of course chicks sell......anything!
