Congrats, Garry ! She looks great !!! Bet she's pretty
sprightly now, without the floats, and in the cool air - might be
needing skis soon, from what I see on the weather channel !!! ;-)
Enjoy !!!

returned to service today on wheels at High River. A picture is posted
under 'completed aircraft'. Myles Cane, the AME who did the repairs and
educated me in the process, flew it with me and was impressed with its
performance. His comment was 'I like this airplane' - with some
enthusiasm. In High River at altitude 3400+ feet performance on wheels
is significantly better than on the floats.
The floats have yet to be repaired and I'm not sure if I will use them
again due to lack of water around here. It was a thrill to get FOKM back
in the air and get a little practice on wheels with a professional pilot
in the right seat.
