Just kidding about the dutch roll. It’s a play on an old movie: With Six You Get Egg Roll, about complications that come with a blended family. *** But the “three” is legit, and refers to the three LSA training centers operated by Shawn Okun in Florida.  *** Shawn’s blended family is called FPNA (FPNA = Float Planes aNd Amphibians) and is worthy of mention as an LSA force in its own right. *** FPNA, as the acronym implies, imports, manufactures, sells and teaches in land and water-launched SLSA, (floaty-foot Capetown shown here) and also sells floats, Experimental LSA kits and generally has a good time with used aircraft, weight-shift trikes and powered parachutes.   ***  If you’re looking to get your land or water wings, don’t overlook this outfit: they have three locations – Clearwater, Sebastian and Palm Harbor in addition to the HQ in Sebring.  *** One — Clearwater — is even a FAA part 141-certified flight school with SEVIS credentials (allows foreign nationals to train in the U.S.)  Students can go from Light Sport to ATP (Airline Transport Pilot)!  Talk about one-stop shopping. *** Check out their website: Shawn’s a bright and enterprising guy who’s got a lot of ways for you to have fun in the air, whether you launch from the tarmac or use duck feet to get your air.
