Top Cub Amphib N13NM

In May, 2023, Tres Clinton of C3 Air purchased a beautiful floatplane. The trip from Gainsville, Georgia back to Texas was interesting... To view the photos and videos, please click on the white navigation arrow. If you would like to learn to fly floats, get in touch with Tres at www.flyc3.com

N13NM all dressed up and ready to go on the ramp at Gainsville, Georgia. I had not flown an amphib for quite awhile but the airplane made it easy with lots of power, extended range tanks and a great panel.

Here is a view of the mighty Mississippi River under beautiful blue skies. Unfortunately the weather would soon deteriorate.

I stopped for fuel and a weather check in Eldorado, Arkansas before the next leg to Shreveport.

Leaving Shreveport's Downtown airport I levelled off at 1000 AGL and headed southwest. The visibility was around 3 to 5 miles in mist. The Top Cub on amphibs only flies at about 85 MPH so this made it easy to stay out of the worst of the rain.
