to Mozambiques' relief effort by civil aviation pilots.
- *Seaplanes in Como, Italy
- This is a nice site giving a view of seaplane flying in Italy. Includes several pics of Lake, C-172, Super Cub seaplanes.
- *Pictures From Lapland
- This site requires a password obtainable online. It features mountain photography from northern Sweden by three apparently eccentric photographers. One of the photographers is a part owner of a Super Cub which he flies on floats in summer and skis in winter.
- *Swedish Seaplane Association
- This is a fine site and gives a good view of seaplane flying in Sweden.
- *Taby Seaplane Club (Sweden)

- *Vallentuna, Sweden, Flying Club
- Largest fleet of An 2s (Antonov Russian Design Team bi-plane) I've ever seen outside Russia. You can buy one of these 1,000 hp, 10 place bi-planes for about $10,000 US. There is a dealer for these aircraft in Renton or Auburn, Washington. Thousands of these planes have been built for many years in Russia and they are still in production. If you are interested in the An 2, e-mail me and I will locate this guy for you. He is presently using his An 2 for parachute drops south of Seattle.

- Seaplane Flight Training- Daytona Beach, FL
- Multi-Engine sea flight training, private thru ATP in a 1946 Grumman Widgeon. This is one of my favorite seaplanes. It has a cruising speed over 200 mph. There was a very nice Widgeon based at Kurtzer's place in the late 60s. I haven't seen one around Seattle in years.
- Seaplane Flying
in Quebec
- A lot of information about flying around Quebec. There is some information about seaplane flying. How would I know, the whole thing is in French. I would guess that the makers of this site are separatists because they show the French flag, the Quebec flag, but no Canadian flag. When these separatists finally break from Canada, they will be a little strip of white "civilization" facing an Indian nation able to split off and form a whole new country on this continent governed by a native Indian tribe.
