Description: July 12th I departed Leeward Air Ranch in Ocala, Florida flew east to the beach and followed it all the way up New Bern, NC. Next day stopped at Kitty Hawk, First Flight Airport and then over to Don's on the James River. Later I flew to the Hudson to splash and dash just north of the Intrepid. After a week or so in New England I will be heading south again around August 1st. Anyone on the East coast would like to meet up along the way?

    Hi Peter... I fly a Searey out of Owls Head on the central Maine coast near Rockland. I too am a proponent of flying with a
fixed down tail wheel! Looks like you are also? If you're near this area.... BillMcCall 207-944-5292

    Thanks Searey Flyers who offered to join up on my three week trip to Maine and back to Florida. I had to get back south home again so at the end I ran out of opportunity to meet up with you all. Perfect weather on every flying day during the three weeks and 55.6 logged flight hours. The Searey performed perfectly and the last leg just for fun I motored up to 10,500 feet for the final leg back home to Ocala, FL. Most of the other 50 hours I was either around 300 feet just off shore flying up the East Coast or under 1000 feet sight seeing in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Virginia. I am amazed how much fun and great sight seeing you can have at 90 mph!

    Peter, with your initial posting you implied you flew "up the beach", but didn't mention restricted areas. Did you have to deviate
around them or get clearance? Last time I looked at a chart of the Atlantic coast line there was a bunch of gov't airspace, but I'm
wondering if at low cruising altitudes were you clear of them?

    Hello Frank, Sorry I just now saw your post. Yes, legally I flew along the east coast beach line at 300 feet or lower all they way from Jacksonville to Kitty Hawk. Later up the Hudson for a splash down and then then north shore of Long Island over to Cape Cod. A week later up to Maine which was really beautiful. Occasionally I called up airport control towers, as required, to request ""transit south to north off shore at 3000 feet"". Only one military airport on the shoreline, I forget where, maybe in the Carolinas, had totally garbled radios. I think they said I was cleared so I flew off shore at low altitude. Incredible to see the entire east coast from Florida to Maine eye to eye with the beautiful beaches, many sections completely uninhabited or undeveloped.
