Me too, from reading about it in Richard Bach's anthology 'A Gift of
Wings'. It's not a very pretty aeroplane but I like the big cockpit and
land anywhere attitude. Just remember to put the gear down for your first
tarmac landing after a run of water landings.

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
