Welcome to the Seawind
The World's Fastest Single Engine Amphibious Airplane
Step into the cockpit of history. The Legacy of the N71RJ Super Seawind is a never-before-published account of how one man’s vision turned into one of the most iconic amphibious aircraft ever built — now live on Amazon Kindle.
I started my friendship with small airplanes in the Army at age 19 as an aircraft repairman and crew chief from 1966-69. I maintained and flew in Beavers, Otters, Queen Air, and just about every helicopter the Army had in its arsenal. It was 1997 when I landed my dream, a private pilot’s license with USAF Aero Club, Hanscom AFB. I flew club C-172s, Cherokees, and Arrows. Over the next ten years I added Instrument, high performance, complex and seaplane sign-offs. In 2000 I purchased a Seawind kit. I then added a PT6-20 engine and a G 1000 avionics suite.
Building and flying the world’s fastest single-engine amphibious airplane is fun and challenging. Join me on this thrilling journey to lofty levels of aviation today. To get you in the right seat let’s begin with a 19- minute excursion provided by a link to the former kit maker, Seawind North America at YouTube promoting their never realized dream of producing and selling an FAA certified version of the Superseawind.
