    Craft Details
    This is a view of my SA-1100's cockpit.  Note the "fly by joystick" with trigger throttle control.
    This is the standard color of an SA-1100 craft - white, teal and purple.  This picture was taken on Rend Lake in southern Illinois.
    This is a fellow hovercrafter's custom teal, black and white SA-1100 craft.
    This is a custom red, white and blue SA-1100, which also happens to be the first craft I rode in, owned by a sales representative near Atlanta, GA.

     

    Ease Of Transportation
    Getting your craft on to your trailer is a breeze,
    even for just one person.

    Simply fly the craft out of the water using a boat ramp or just over the ground (a great advantage over a boat) and then...
    ...fly it partially up on to the tilt trailer, get out w/ the engine idling (so it stays hovering) and crank the hand winch, pulling it up on to the trailer.  VERY simple.

     

    Fun On Land
    This is a shot of me on the factory training course.  It's a little tricky at first, but a after little training your confidence will climb greatly.  Learning on flat land is the easiest and builds the skills required for water.
    This is just me and a friend playing around in the grass outside of a cottage where my wife and I stayed.
    Which way to the water?

    Me heading across a field that was between the parking area and a lake.  Who needs boat ramps!?!

    This is the craft sitting on the beach at the Indiana Dunes.  It's a pretty cool shot because you can see Gary, IN (distant left), and Chicago, IL on the other side of the lake (distant right).  Click on the picture for a blow-up.


     

    Fun In The Water
    A good transitional picture between land and water.  Shallow water is no problem for a hovercraft.
    Here's a shot of me cruising around on Kentucky Lake.
    Zipping around on the Kankakee River...
    Cruising at 45 MPH on the Kankakee River...with NO WAKE!


     

    Fun In The Snow
    Zipping around a nearby field in the snow.  Winter fun at it's best.
    Hello. Now this is four season fun!


     

    Miscellaneous Good Times
    My wife, Terrie, and I down in the Florida Keys, taking a stop on the beach.  
    Even a hovercraft enjoys some relaxation time under a palm tree on a beach.
    Fresh water fun on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  
    The headphones my wife and I are wearing are a great accessory.  They are noise-cancelling headphones with communication between us and music via a portable CD player.
    Hovercrafts can be very stable, even when off.  
    Now where did that husband of mine, Gary, go?
    Floating along the Fox River with hovercraft friends Connie and Dave Adams  
    Even my parrot, Maxx, wants to fly in a hovercraft.
