petermcleland 48 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Continuing my Seaplane Base tour of Kodiak Island:- Unsticking from Port Bailey and... ...climbing away. Crossing back over Port Bailey as we... ...set course for San Juan - Uganik. I won't climb up over this lot and... ...will weave about... ...as necessary. There is my destination ahead but I won't land in this direction but will position to... ...approach into wind. Smoothly down and... ...now safely beached. I can see some gently breaking water over there so I will walk over and... ...get a shot of it...Really need video to show the movement. Here is a view back from the other side of the stream. Thanks for looking Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Excellent, Hope you didnt have trouble getting off again as some seaplanes simply will not lift if they're in too much wind shelter, they also need choppy water to unstick. I still love the look of that aircraft, like a sort of Jetski with wings! Link to post Share on other sites
