Jamesmil, Seriously....You need to stop having so much fun with your airplane...might cause jealousy in others and force them to go buy their own! Great job, looks like a nice place to stop for a swim! Thanks for posting this!

Looking at the Model 5 or newer for size!
Where was this? I'm planning a trip near wilmington NC and it looks like the OP is from there. Last I heard NC and SC are not too fond of aircraft on beaches unless you have a mechanical problem. In fact I believe a fellow Kitfoxer was arrested some time ago near Tybee in GA
I've always wanted to land on the beach and do my second favorite thing. Surf Casting
hi rmendler, if you have a charlotte sectional it will show the island that I land and go fishing on.it is located between Carolina beach to the south and Wrightsville beach to the north. the is land is about 10 ml. long, also if you look due west you will see my home base of pilots ridge, 03nc. we have a 3000' paved runway 09/27 we use 122.8, if you want to talk to Wilmington approach call them up on 118.25.
send me a pm if you would like to stop in would love to meet you. the island is state owned and is uninhabited but will have people fishing and camping. being a beach the landing area's change with every tide and sometime with people and available landing area I will not land if I feel I can not touch down and go around without a large safety margin. after landing most people will just walk on by the plane without a second look while others will stop and take pic,s.
if I remember right a few years back a guy had an engine out in SC and loss of oil,..which made it difficult to see due to oil on his windshield ,..when he landed ,..he hit two beach walkers/runners from behind that had headset radios on walkmans ...and one did not survive,..
but now an island ,,chances are beach walkers/runners are not going to swim a channel to run an island beach
awesome landing there Jim for an ole guy
Just curious Jim,..are you practicing beach landings for the flight to factory fly in ? because right now a good portion of Missouri is flooded with more rain coming large sections of I44 were shut down,..near me Mile marker 172 to 186 was closed for a day plus,..route 63 south of Jefferson city was closed,..gasconade river passed the 30' mark,..Waynesville ..near fort wood route 17 closed ,..governor declare state of emergency for Waynesville,
hope all this bad weather has passed by the time your flying west
