Had the experience as a teenager, flying in Dad’s Seabee,
belly landing on a turf runway, due to gear collapsing. Smooth as silk…short.
tried to buy one of these years ago, hard to find …
Republic Twin Bee
I have owned and flown two Sea Bee’s and loved them.
I also knew Joe Gigante who did the Twin Bee conversions.
Got my MES in one of those, Flagler, FL. What a blast!
My dad salvaged a sea bee. Removed the wings and fuselage,put snow skis on it and ran it on frozen Houghton Lake in Michigan. What a sight.
