C-185; Let’s Go Flying

2/11/2014 Let's Go Flying

C-185; Let’s Go Flying  This Cessna 185  wears skis in the winter, floats in the summer, and tires in between.  I was lucky enough to take the controls for a bit while landing on a frozen lake.  You really notice the extra power, over the J-3 Cub or Super Cub, particularly on take-off.  I tried to do some air-to-air photography from the copilot’s seat.  It’s a great plane to use as a photo platform.  Next time, I’ll use the back seat and perhaps I’ll get better shots.  Live and learn.
