Folks:
Never thought I would see this Lazair on floats fly again, but found it
after watching the Ultrastars fly at S&F 1984.
http://www.youtube.com/user/OldChuckie#p/a/u/2/CaVLBrv4eQQ
At the same S&F 1984, there was an ultralight ditch filled with water that
served at the UL Seaplane Base in the UL area. One of the prettiest of the
float equipped ULs was an Ultrastar, red and white sunburst, on fiberglass
floats.
There was also this 4 engine Lazair on floats. As you will see, the pilot
flew barefooted with his britches legs rolled up. He must have had a little
of Dick Rahill's (Kolb Firestar Factory Pilot) blood in him because he flew
almost continually. Take off, very short circuit and plop back down in the
ditch, just to take off again.
Those were extremely good days.

I really wanted to say that was before my time but.. I was there and remembered seeing that four engine Lazair. I was flying a Weedhopper nose dragger at that point. I now enjoying flying my relatively ultra reliable VW Powered MKIIIC. Thanks for the memories.
