Paugus Bay Seaplane Base

KittyHawk · 12-29-2013, 09:33 AM

Does anyone here have a photo of the Sea Plane Base on Paugus Bay? My 1931 Kitty Hawk's (NC975M) logbooks all indicate it was operated from there from the 1940's until about 1973. I would appreciate any photos of the base - and your permission to add them to the history I am compiling on NC975M. Thanks to all for the assistance!

Meanwhile, restoration continues. Last month a 5 foot cube arrived from Santa Paula, CA - the Kinner R-56 engine, freshly overhauled to zero time by Antique Aero Engines. It is ready to install and fly-away - if only I had a plane to put it on! The fuselage repairs continue on the bent tubing and the wings are under construction. All four wing panels were ruined in the crash. Enclosed is a photo of the first panel going together in the shop. The plan is to finish assembling all four this winter.

Happy New Year!
