Thanks Tulio...#752 looks like she's in nice shape. I look forward to
seeing the Andrau bird that you mentioned, or any other Seabee photos
that may show up here...airworthy, projects in progress, derelicts,
military birds, etc. :)
Saludos!

There was a natural metal Seabee like the one in the above picture parked out at Chicagoland Airport in Wheeling, IL in the late seventies until it closed. I never got a photo or N number, unfortunately - does it ring any bells with you all?

Thanks Tulio! looks like an interesting project with much of the dirty-work
complete. I wonder whassup with the 15.7 TTAF? Obviously a typo? My
budget is closer to the Challenger ultralight on floats below the Seabee tho... :wink:

AirN:

I sure wish that I had a hangar, one big enough to hold all of "dem" projects (but I also wish I had the money to buy them projects, too) and have people working on them and see them all fly again...

Alas, it will remain just a wish : )
