Maine So Far

We've been to the coast, Boothbay Harbor. I've always said if you want to experience New England, go to Maine, same coast, same stuff, same food, same accent, very few people. They all seem to drive Subaru's though. :moose:  It snows there too, a lot more than Ohio.

lol, how to launch a Piper J-3 Cub seaplane from land:

 

 

No video available on how to land a seaplane on a runway without wheels.

But if you really want to know, they just land on wet grass next to the runway.

Where possible. And hope they don't tip over and hit the prop.

 

edit: ok ok, it wasn't that hard...

 

And the same yellow Cub landing on grass. Look how short the landing is!

DC-3 is a beautiful aircraft. Always will be.

 

edit: I ran outside down in Florida, to see three DC-3 Dakota in low level formation, spraying for mosquitoes.

Quite impressive to see. The outfit has five of them, last I heard.
