Who Are WeThe WSPA is a group of over 100 friendly, and knowledgeable, "old-timers" and individuals new to the sport of Water Flying. Our main objective is to Keep Washington Waterways OPEN. And, we try to have some fun while doing it. We gather together on a number of occasions each year to share our interests and lives. My thirst
for knowledge 7 years ago when I came to Washington included two new venues;
Seaplanes and the Great Northwest. I was not familiar with either
one. SPA had some information, and WSPA seemed to have a small social
group that did some important things in the background.
I
wanted more.
We had just
purchased a magnificently restored Republic Seabee and I wanted to know
more about the airplane and this fantastic area we call the Northwest, I wasn't
familiar with either one. I found other "Bee" owners and a few local
WSPA members willing to share their favorite destinations and the knowledge
needed to operate there safely. We want to do just that, and
I feel
the internet and e-mail communication is just the tool to help
us;
1-Keep our
waters open
2-Operate
Safely
3-Share the
knowledge
4-Have some Fun
We are now able to provide the information you seek
and hopefully we are bringing our efforts from the "background" forward.
It is imperative that we stay on top of these very important issues. And,
it is imperative that we operate safely. So, please share your experience
with us to make this as fun, and as safe as it can be. If you have
questions about this electronic stuff, call, or email me.
I hope you enjoy the website and find it
informative. We will be adding to it as we go, I have a ton of information
to post and hopefully we can get it updated on a regular basis. If you
have any ideas about how to make this a better, more useful, safer or more
beneficial organization, please let us know that too.
We are also looking for some volunteers to take an
interest in building this organization. I'd like you all to ask
yourselves... "how can my skills or personality, help the WSPA?" Try
a little participation, can't hurt, guaranteed to be fun, if your too busy...
too bad.
