My Alaskan friend with the 185 float plane also owns this 180hp Cub - nice to be a retired airline pilot.  This is same lake we visited in October - about six inches thick he says.                    .

Goodly morning...

Wonderful shot fine sir....very nice....

About late December and we will start to see ice huts around here.
We don't get the winters like we used to and I miss them.  Give me lots and lots of crisp clear air and wonderful white snow.   ;)   

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Amazing & thanks for sharing! Lets see that bear try to eat that thing for breakfast!

That's a cracking photo.

When I first saw it I thought it was a screenshot. That's intended as a compliment & also says a lot for the realism of FS nowadays.

OMG Super Cub!!! What an interesting place for it to be sitting on 8-)

I just love these aircraft to death

I would be terrified to land that on the ice and have the possibility of breaking the ice....

OMG - how can you land on that ice.
I guess I would have ended up spinning round about 20 times only being stopped by the next tree at the lake side.

The trick is to carry a fair size rock - open the clam shell doors and drop it.

My goodness. That is not safe to even walk less fly. 

Ya just gotta love a nice big low-pressure tundra tire to distribute the load, on any soft or fragile surface.......

........large footprint = light weight distribution.........

Looks like a similar aircraft that Shaun Lunt used to fly before his untimely death...
