Tom and Sandy Saccio's Seawind Project
Tom and Sandy Saccio
purchased an old river house at the mouth of Blounts Creek where
the creek opens
up to the Pamlico river. Having
their priorities in order, the first thing they did was to build a nice hangar
and boat ramp (amphib ramp). Following the hangar was the Seawind kit purchase.
Now that the kit is well on it's way to becoming an aircraft, they've now begun
construction of their new home. Talk about having a lot of irons in the fire.
When they complete the house, the old one will be torn down as it's currently
located on the taxiway between the hangar and the boat ramp.

This is a TALL bird. How many of us can say that we need scaffolding to work on our airplane project. Hanging the engine is going to be a real treat. |
