What Does It Take To Produce Water Flying Magazine?

Author: Seaplane Pilots Foundation November 10, 2021 Duration: 1:04:36

Water Flying magazine's editor Mark Twombly joins Steve McCaughey for an in depth discussion on the small but effective team that puts together the seaplane community's flagship magazine. Just as importantly, we discuss how much member input goes into the publication and we provide guidelines for aspiring writers within our community to submit content of their own.


There’s a particular kind of freedom found where the runway ends and the water begins, and that’s exactly where the Water Flying Aviation Podcast lives. Produced by the Seaplane Pilots Foundation, this weekly series is for anyone captivated by the unique world of amphibious aviation. Each episode feels like hanging out in a busy seaplane base, swapping stories and practical knowledge. You’ll hear from certified flight instructors breaking down tricky water operations, engineers from manufacturing companies discussing what’s new in floatplane design, and pilots sharing tales from remote lakes and coastal harbors across the globe. Conversations here are grounded in real-world experience, covering essential safety discussions, maintenance tips, and the latest news that matters to the community. Whether you’re an active pilot, an aviation enthusiast dreaming of your first splash-down, or simply someone fascinated by travel and unique cultures tied to waterways, this podcast offers an authentic and engaging perspective. It’s more than just technical talk; it’s about the people, places, and sheer joy that define water flying. Tune in for a regular dose of insight and adventure, directly from those who live it.
