Good afternoon all... Smiley

Wonderful video of several takeoffs and landings in a float equipped DHC-2 Beaver.

Listen for the power reduction on takeoff and notice the way he uses the shore line to judge his height on landing.

Several other good videos there as well... Smiley

I believe you have given me a temperature Doug. Guess I need to take a dose of Beaver.  Wink  Grin

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
