It was a little windy out there, but yesterday I had a nice flight to Palomar (KCRQ) to bring back some fancy beer from a nearby brewery called Lost Abbey.:)

What are those eyebolts on the wingroot for?

You should start a charity bringing local brews to unlocal peeps.
 
That’s where you attach the temporary parachute.
 
The eyebolts are attachment points to lift the plane for installing the floats.

Better be careful, you are almost in violation there...... no drinkin' within 50 feet of the plane, and no closer than 8 feet bottle to throttle.....
 
It would be interesting to try using them for an air launch from a dirigible.

Maybe NASA economizing and planning to use a Cessna instead of a 747?
