MFC0016 St. Petersburg Sea Base Ops Exploration

The end of May has arrived marking the return of Float Flying. While the Northern routes remain frozen, the Southern routes are seeing the Spring thaw. 63A (Roundtree Seaplane Facility) is the Seaplane Base associated with the St. Petersburg PAPG and float operations are now open out of this base.

This area has been beautifully rendered with glacial textures to the east and ocean and seaway inlets to the southwest and northwest. Again this area has often remained a rarely traversed and underappreciated region so we are exploring it again but this time from the amphibian bush plane perspective which is very low and slow and to/from the water.

Aircraft: Amphibian or Float single prop, or floater Helos for the Helicopter pilots out there.. (Actually only the first and last legs require an amphibian, Legs 2 through 16 can be 100% floater models!). The ice is out and time for a fun trip to the sea plane bases surrounding Petersburg. 

This trip features the Goose and/or DHC-2 Beaver Amphibian, or the C185, or Mallard or a Helo for the Egg beater pilots..etc: any amphibian type aircraft that will stay afloat will do! (Fix wing must be a single prop- non-turbo). Again we will be exploring the area and not just the Sea bases so watch for cabins and many other POI in this excursion.

Make sure to obtain the tour download for the flight leg details and stop-over locations. (And each leg has a stop-over somewhere in the flight).
