Ski Plane Weekend | C-185 on Skis This Cessna 185 made a beautiful landing on Lake Sapphire. After some coffee, a warm up, and engaging hangar flying, I was fortunate to hitch a ride back with Steve, the pilot and owner. He had recently completed an engine overhaul himself; aren’t all bush pilot’s also A&Ps as well as CFIIs. Well, maybe not, but Steve let me fly a bit. His C-185 wears skis in the winter, floats in the summer, and tires in between. I tried to do some air-to-air photography from the copilot’s seat. Next time, I’ll use the back seat and perhaps I’ll get better shots. To see the entire story with all seven images, go to Ski Plane Weekend | a 7 Image Story.
