Description:
Would you turn down a chance to fly someone’s SeaRey from Florida to Maine? I just couldn’t. After picking Jay Payne’s new plane at Winter Haven, I stopped at the Tajmahangar to load it up.
The airplane is a real lightweight. An honest under 900 pounder. That’s because it has no radios, no frills, and no extra gillhooleys.
It was….until I had a chance to load it up. Greatly adding to the up weight was the horde of lovebugs that tried to make it their new home!

The weather here is predicted to be ok through Saturday, but showers moving in Sunday. Not sure how your schedule will pan out. How and when are you returning home? If weather is favorable, I'd love to fly down and meet you guys at his field.

If the headwinds abate, Mark, I should arrive Friday afternoon. If not, Saturday, morning. I'll send you an update on Friday.

Who designed these lovebugs (also known somewhere else as honeymoon fly, kissybug, and plecia nearctica)? They seem to only congregate on pavement, they constantly commit a public indecency, and when smacked by a bumper or wing they turn into an instant fossil! There must be a million of them that took up residence in Jay’s new airplane. I’ve heard they were a genetic experiment gone bad at the University of Texas Entomology Lab. Now, if I can train them today to fly in formation I expect to get a little extra lift
