An Evening Cruise

Postby Fly2e » Fri Jun 13, 2003 7:19 am

This is the first time I ever really flew a Floatplane. I guess after seeing Ramsa's incredible pictures from his "Leaving Southampton" thread, I wanted to give it a try.

After a long day out choppin' wood at the cabin on the lake, I wanted to see if I could get a good view of the sun setting over the mountains. Up here, it sets quickly. I unhooked my flaotplane and prepared for a water take-off.

Image


As I cleared the water, I could see it was setting fast.

Image


As I leveled off, I could see the sun setting through the clouds.

Image


There she was, right in front of me. The view was magnificent.

Image


As darkness started to fall, I knew it was time to return to the cabin. I was never one for night landings on the water.

Image


As my plane came closer to landing, the moon's glow danced on the water.

Image


As I pulled up to my dock, I was looking foward to a warm fire and a stiff drink!!

Lovely shots Dave. I find water landings a lot less stressful myself (mind you the Pacific Ocean is quite big....)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
