Excellent series. Keep up the great work!

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thank you...will do.

[@CharlieLamdin]

Sea Plane Operations. Serious Pilots Only! 😊 Great video Jon.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Thanks Charlie.

[@thomasharris3189]

Another chat with the bank manager now required… thanks Jon 😉

[@chris-cole]

Wow!!!! What an adventure!! It's almost crazy to believe you can actually do all these water landings in such beautiful surroundings. Loch Lomond is special!! Thank you for taking us in this journey Jon 🙏 fantastic viewing!!!

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Glad you enjoyed this Chris.

[@DanSmithBK]

G-DRAM! Very much enjoyed this second episode, and it seems float plane flying might have to go on the to-do list ;-). Thanks again Jon!

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Do it Dan!

[@owenabz]

The instructor is very charismatic!

[@TheFlyingReporter]

He's cool!

I'm fortunate to have experienced two flights off Loch Lomond as a passenger, one around the Loch Katrine, Stirling etc and another over the west coast, Mull of Kintyre, Inner Hebrides. Both were amazing.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

It's better up front..at the controls.

[@theflyingfrog]

I certainly agree with your comments about this experience reinvigorating your love of flying. Seaplane flying is such an aesthetic and hands-on kind of aviation. The EASA logbooks don't have anywhere to specifically log water landings either, so you just have to put them down as normal landings! Would love to show you around the Biscarrosse club, seaplane museum (excellent) and local area... maybe a project for your next trip abroad?

[@TheFlyingReporter]

All sounds like a good idea. Can you drop me an email: [e-mail]

Fantastic part two Jon👌👍 I didn’t know flying a seaplane could be so much fun! I listened to the podcast on my walk, and found it just as entertaining 👌👏👏👏

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Excellent Kev. Thanks.

[@Dougsterxplor]

I've been up in Loch Lomond's seaplane a good few times but only been to the theatre with Hamish!! LOL

[@Petertronic]

Exciting video. Did I spy a Kelly kettle? I learnt how to use one on a survival course.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

I think it was a kelly kettle.

[@imcg110]

Superb videos Jon on a fascinating aspect of aviation. You also flew right above my office at The Vale of Leven Hospital in Alexandria on your approach to the loch !! We're quite used to hearing the seaplanes buzzing about in our area.

[@TheFlyingReporter]

I bet Iain. Thanks for watching.

[@JoeRichardson02]

A brilliant second part to this series Jon, I hope you do some more soon!

[@TheFlyingReporter]

You and me both.

[@teenflon]

Great video!

Great video John

[@ess64cee]

Brilliant! Thanks Jon 👌

[@cameronpaterson4708]

Just brilliant Jon - that’s another goal added to my flying bucket list for after I qualify (& build some hours). Like others, I’ve had the privilege of flying from Loch Lomond a couple of times when I worked for Bentley. We had journalists driving one of our new car models and, with us as hosts, they got to drive from the hotel down the Mull to the old RAF airfield at Macrihanish, from where we were all picked up in one of the Cameron House seaplanes (Cessna 208s) and flown back to the loch. Very cool, but now I want to top that ….

Magical.

Isn't it just great flying..

Filling out the forms as I speak.

[@philcrosby8931]

Thrilling thanks Jon, will you complete your endorsement?

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Not sure. Not much scope to keep it up, so will only do it for the experience again.

[@gudoultunes]

Very Nice beaching fair play 👌👌 Stuart seems a great instructor, very cool headed yet very skilled,....have you contact details for him please? Currently going tru my Ppl but as soon as il be looking to add as many ratings as possible, but given Loch Lomond is 1 of my favorite places ever and im very well travelled hopefully a lot sooner then i plan i can possibly be in your shoes with Stuart giving it a bash 👌👌🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞👌👌 im working a long time in aviation but only recently tried flying and became hooked ❤ my first light aircraft flight was in a cesna 172 at national flight centre in Dublin/Kildare Ireland but hopefully get to go for a run from Glasgow flying club soon 🤞🤞🤞😎

That was way to short. Have you been back or flown float planes somewhere else?

[@TheFlyingReporter]

No Mikey. Haven't done it since sadly. Soon I hope.
