FEATURED PILOTS- Eric MacDonald and Jim Rowe
 

Eric MacDonald and Jim Rowe are long time Chinook 912 owners. Both of them are on amphibious Full Lotus floats. They recently flew to a remote area in beautiful British Columbia and sent us the following pictures.

The first picture show us on our way to the lake south east of Salmon Arm, which is about a 3 hour flight. We were not in a hurry to get there, or we could have gone over the top.

Our home for a couple of days was a small cabin which was was built in 1962, the only inhabitants were a few mice to keep use awake . The lake is five thousand ft asl, you would have to be there for a few days to get accustomed to the silence.
After leaving we flew down to Slocan and sat on the beach for an hour, then we left for Nakusp, had some lunch and went back to Revelstoke for fuel . We left and went up to the north for an hour of flying and turned for home. We ended up putting seven hours of really nice flying on the planes . We had some real fun few days and even caught some fish.
