peter lena 8,582 #2 Posted October 27, 2019 those old planes are a real treat, going fishing in alaska , i flew from dillingham , to the togiak river range in a recently restored 1945 gruman widgeon flying boat , first river landing in dense brush , really got your attention ! the water flow was so fast , barely had to throttle it down, water came over windshield then , quickly flushed off as was designed to do , but scary to initially look at 10 inches of water on windshield. lake hood in anchorage is a float plane mecca , lots of ww2 craft still in use . if you are ever in seattle , make sure you visit the boeing mueseium , incredible, aircraft, tour guides are former fighter pilots, pete 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougC 2,641 #4 Posted October 27, 2019 Piper Super Cub suits my needs and my price range. The local grass runway airport is 1/2 mile south of me and my neighbor likes to take me up and we fly to a food destination for lunch. I won't fly at night in a single engine........ Had a bad experience more than once........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
