Default RE: Running the River

Well how cool is that Red and I do remember. Also remember being impressed by that all plastic trainer like float plane and how it performed after seeing you fly it at the Nautical Inn (London Bride float fly).

I even have a Ready Two Story: About three years ago a fellow member who had never been on the water called me up all excited about a crags listing down in Topock on the river that listed three seaplanes and a bunch of other stuff. Turned out it was an older couple who both flew but never at any fields but just from their houseboat. The were moving away and were selling out.

When I saw the three Ready's I immediately was dealing for the three, two with La 40's and one with a Saito Fifty. I ended up with two but let my bud have the one with the Saito as I really didn,t care.

Any way thought you might enjoy how we fly the Ready's Up here at Kingman when we don't feel like the thirty mile drive down the mountain to the river basin, REDNECK Float Flying
