  • Alaska practice

    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

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

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

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

              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.

                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.

                  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.

                            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
