Seaplanes in Vancouver

[AerBabe]

I was in BC over New Year and mostly based in Vancouver. There's something about seaplanes, isn't there!

I have to agree. Apart from spending lots of time watching the Floatplanes flying into and out of Victoria harbour, I took the opportunity to do a 1.5hr floatplane flying lesson from Port Stanley just to the East of Vancouver when my wife and I went out there in 2007. Really, really enjoyed it.

That's one of the things that kicked me into learning to fly. I was in Vancouver on business and had a couple of hours to kill before going to the airport, so I had a quick local pleasure flight in one of the seaplanes out of the harbour. It was my first time in a light fixed wing aircraft.

I think I started flying lessons within a month.
