Widgeon training

[mdwflyer]

Just got home from a couple days of flying with Chester Lawson http://www.h2oflight.com/.

We did about 5 hours of training on a bunch of different lakes, and different conditions. It was great fun!

I am SOOOOOOOO GREEN with envy !
Glad you had fun and hope you learned a lot.

Were you working on your initial MES rating (and if so, how did the check ride go) or were you simply getting current in the Widgeon again?

x2!!

[mdwflyer]

Chester has a great setup in florida, and a lot of widgeon time. I didn't need the check ride, just wanted to get some time on type and see it for myself.

It's a really nice airplane that will make sure you are paying attention

[mdwflyer]

It doesn't get much better than that!

[MrWidgeon]

Nope, not much.
Chester Lawson has had that airplane since Union Oil/Union 76 sold it back around 25-30 years ago.
As far I as I know he's only the second owner of the airplane.
I remember seeing the airplane when it was being converted by McDermott somewhere back in the late 50s I think.
I've never met him (we live in opposite corners of the country), but we've had a couple email exchanges.
He seems like a nice guy and I've never heard a bad thing about about him, his airplane or his training program.
