Couple donates Twin Bee to Vermont school

BY JULIE SUMMERS WALKER

Will be used for seaplane training
CALIFORNIANS JEANETTE AND Roger Glazer have enjoyed their Twin Bee
UC-1 for the past six years, but recently considered selling it. Instead the
Seaplane Pilots Association convinced the couple to donate their storied
aircraft.
The aircraft will be donated to the Vermont Flight Academy, a nonprofit,
Part 141-approved flight school affiliated with Vermont Technical College,
which offers a four-year aviation degree program.
"This aircraft has a colorful history," said Eric Weaver of the Seaplane
Pilots Association. The Twin Bee appeared in the movie Caddyshack and
was a personal aircraft of Bebe Rebozo, who flew then-President Richard
Nixon in the 1970s-N-number One-Two-Three-Bravo-Romeo.
The Glazers restored the Twin Bee with the help of Amphibians Plus
of Bartow, Florida, owned by Harry Shannon. Shannon donated a portion
of the annual to the Seaplane Pilots Association. The aircraft is valued at
between $180,000 and $200,000.
"My dream has been to create a quality flight school that offers a
seaplane rating," said Doug Smith, program director of Vermont Tech.
"Through the benevolence of the Glazers, they will affect the lives of
hundreds of students."

DOUG SMITH of the Vermont Flight Academy accepts the
Twin Seabee from Jeanette and Roger Glazer.
