Robbie Johanson's Photo Album
 Hydroplanes in the Northwest in the 1960s.

 "My dad Bob raced the hydroplane named Gee Whizzz from Benton City, WA  from 1960 to 1966. Many of these photos were taken by my mom Dorothy. She was a good photographer and liked to take shots of the hydros as they were taking off or returning to the pits. Some of these photos were taken by Bob Carver. I hope you get a kick out of them like I do."
