“Wings for Science”
SUPER PETREL LSFOR SALE
Photo by Leonardo Correa Luna, in Flyer Magazine
After two years flying from the extreme south to the extreme north, we sell the dream bird to embrace our next big adventure...
2 years AgoWe ordered from Super Petrel factory the ultimate combination for a long range off road journey, with no assistance, with a specific philosophy:
Our aircraft had to be simple, easy to fly, resilient, equipped with a reliable engine, free of complex maintenance, with full redundancy regarding avionics and electrics, capable of flying in the smallest lakes of the amazone forest as well as the largest airports, safely , carrying both of us around, with our survival gear.
Also, we would get the best outside view, fly with the doors off, and have a 180° clear shot for photography, and perform a lot of observation/prospection missions for science.
« Flying for science * all the way from Southern Patagonia to the North West Territories, we elected the best amphibious aircraft, and turned it into the perfect adventure machine.
