Alaska practice

[Dick Smith]

Practicing picture transfer. Still haven't figured out how Chris (N95179) makes it happen so well! These caribou were feeding just off the end of the Kenai Airport(PAEN). The float pix were taken about five minutes from home. The reflected mountain is Mt. Iliamna. Dick

Re: Alaska practice

I'm always jealous when you AK guys post pictures.

BTW, that third pic is the ugliest horse I've ever seen.

Re: Alaska practice

That's no horse you dope, that's an overgrown jack-alope!

Re: Alaska practice

Chris,

I'm not complaining or anything, but I always thought it was a requirement to have a beer gut if you fly a Taylorcraft.

At least tell me you are working on it.

Great photos though.

Chris
What size of tires are on the plane?
What are the two ant. for?
Great pictures, the wife and I will be going up there in two years for our 40th.

Re: Alaska practice

I'll be working on the gut! "Work" is one of those bad 4-letter words for pilots anyways right? That's why we fly

The tires are worn out 8.50x6's from the 206's, and the antenna up front is for my ELT, the other on the wing root fairing is for my portable radio.

Re: Alaska practice

You Alaska tribe members are awesome! Thanks for the pics, us flatlanders get to live vicariously by seeing them.

Re: Alaska practice

Don't get too close to them thin little wave clouds in a T-craft.....

Re: Alaska practice

Re: Alaska practice

Flying sailplanes in wave on the lee side of the Sierra Nevada. But not in a T-craft

Re: Alaska practice

Ran across Matsuthunder200 (Lance), while out practicing on floats...shot the breeze for a few minutes, but not for long, as he is busy guiding sport fishermen, and flying time is precious. He also has the VG's on his plane now. Dick
