On our return from Brownsville we stopped at New Orleans. During our stay we took a plane ride on a small water ski plane. We grabbed it at Greta, LA, a small town south of New Orleans. The plane was similiar to this one and could land on land or water. The water landing was smoother.
My wife was in the back seat and I in the front next to the pilet. He used these instruments but I just watched and tried to keep out of his way.
We headed up the channel to the downtown area. The noise was so loud that all communications were done with hand signals. We each had ear muffins and the pilot had a radio in his. My wife and I could only here the faint drum of the engine.
I had a telepohoto lens with me, but did not have enough room to use it.
