This guy was pulling away from the dock as I came paddling in. I got a shot on my iPhone of him either just before or right after starting his engine. He had to taxi to the other side of the lake to start his takeoff run, which gave me plenty of time to get the kayak in & gear ready. I had about 40 shots of him coming at me, he took a while to get off the lake. On closer inspection of the photo, I found that this is a Cessna Skyhawk II, the newer version of the plane that I logged about 200 hours in way back when. Granted, I never flew a seaplane, I only have my SEL (Single Engine Land) rating. I haven't flown in so long, I couldn't tell you what this has for an engine up front (I bet it's not a Continental O-200 anymore). Edit: I did a search on the 'N' Number and turns out this is a '77 C-172 with a Lycoming O-320 up front.
