Good afternoon all...

I have taxied through very very thin ice on EDO Floats with the Otter, but again it is a tricky procedure.

I wish this site had provided more information as we were talking about winter flying at the bugsmasher field earlier.

Still a good read if you are interested in winter operations and float flying... Wink

Another interesting site which I have posted before...don't faint at the prices... Grin

Might it be time to fit those James Bond floats with built in SMGs? Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Goodly morning Mark...

I am sure someone has thought of that by now... Grin

After all they did put machine guns in the wheel fairings of the Royal Air Force Westland Lysander Aircraft to kill the weeds when landing I guess... Roll Eyes
