MICHIGAN FLYING (August - September 2024)

My pilot friend, Dean, had bought an amphibious SeaRey a while back. I had been unable to get out for a visit last year so I made the extra effort to go this summer. Of course, with me, a simple trip always turns into a much larger journey! I took 24 days and went 4,178 miles in the minvan.
