Thanks for your comments, Chris. I like to drop in when I can. Today, I
talked with the owner of the Lake amphibian that I showed a few days ago.
He lives on a nearby impounded lake, and has a hangar there, where he keeps
the plane seven months of the year. When the lake level is lowered as a
flood control measure, he moves it to Tullahoma because his ramp is not
useable. He is working on his instrument rating in the airplane.
I got his email address and sent him a copy of the photo.
