Overview

  • Pilots love to argue. There’s one topic that unites almost all of us, though: seaplane flying. It’s considered one of the most fun forms of flying, and when you realize how much fun flying is in general, that’s saying something.

    The Progressive Aerodyne SeaRey, manufactured in Tavares, Florida, is a compact amphibious aircraft with retractable landing gear, a hull where an engine would be on a landplane, and a Rotax engine mounted pusher-style in the rear, behind the cockpit.
