**This presentation was originally planned to be done by Lee Harman.  Due to a medical concern regarding his father, Lee left for Florida and Bucky Tart made the presentation.

 

--The slide presentation was breath taking.

 

AirCam Flies Slow and Low

 

Now you can fly places that no other Airplane will let you go!  The AirCam is a twin-engine experimental home built aircraft that can fly 10 feet above the tree tops, then climb up and away on one engine if needed.

 

Such slow and low exploration can't be done in any other twin-engine GA plane, or any other Aircraft, with the same level of assurance.

In a typical Lee fashion, (Bucky’s words) Lee saw a National Geographic program featuring incredible pictures and flying experiences in an aircraft named AirCam and manufactured in Florida.   Lee had to explore the possibility of flying and possibly owning this aircraft.  Lee traveled to Florida and got trained to fly this aircraft. It requires a multi engine & seaplane rating. Lee spent a week or so and got certified to not only fly this aircraft, but to purchase one.

 

This airplane is extremely safe and has redundancy galore……2 engines, 2 separate fuel tanks, 2 separate fuel pumps, 2 separate electrical systems and more.  It can take off from ground the width of a runway on one engine and can even do so from water.  It is extremely predictable and safe, particularly in remote areas.

 

Bucky’s presentation was full of pictures and videos of Lee’s cross country trip bringing the aircraft from Florida to Washington.  The spectacular views included Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi River, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Lake Tahoe, Seattle and all points in between. One of Lee’s highlights was landing on one of the highest airstrips in the United States, Leadville, Colorado, at 9927 feet.

 

Lee started the trip home by flying over the home that he grew up in at Coco Beach, Florida and ending at his home on Lake Cavanaugh.

 

At 3.5 gallons per hour at 55 mph, the promotion video expressed…..”It’s not about getting anywhere.  It’s about enjoying the experience.”
