Also flew with Max on Sunday. We went to Lampasas, San Saba, and returned via Lake Buchanan. So I've flown almost the entire length of the Texas Colorado.
While we were at Lakeway, this plane announced a right pattern and a low pass.
We have a couple of local kids who hang out and take pictures. He was able to figure out it was N337GU, a Polish manufactured twin turbine amphib. Later when Max and I were entering the pattern at Lampasas, 337GU was also there, doing a right pattern low pass.
