C-185; 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.
