Same Kid...different ride...!

[Dick Smith]

Our eldest son has always been drawn to flying...started with a 30 minute introductory ride in a Luscombe, grew up around the TCraft and now has to put up with this Turbine Otter. Fortunately, the TCraft is still in the family!

They've ruined just about every Otter around, hanging those stinky, whiny things on them!!
Great pictures!! Glad to see he's stuck with it and gotten somewhere!

Here's another longnose Otter with some of the locals snooping around.

My son took this short video with his phone.

Wow!

Can I link that FB video to other aviation (and even Wildlife) sites, or do I need Nathan's permission?

Rob, I talked with my son and he said feel free to share the video clip. He mentioned that there were a lot of salmon about 20 or 30 feet out beyond the lineup of aircraft...a long band of fish stretching as far as he could see from the top of his plane. Dick
