Fantasy of Flight hosted their "Last Big Splash" for 09 with a gathering of seaplanes at Lake Agnes over the weekend.
The Short Sunderland and PBY were outside, over near the lake, and Kermit took the Duck up several times.
Lots of different type seaplanes flew in.

I first saw that Duck up close and personal at the Valiant Air Command TICO airshow in 1985 - the same Spring that I started A&P school at ERAU. Here it is almost a quarter of a Century later and the Duck still looks immaculate!

Nice action shot, Bill!

Great shot Bill, low 50's and wind gust in the 40's here. Looks like you picked the better spot! I'll be down in Dec. JOE
