Years ago a friend and I decided to get a float rating.  We flew our planes to a little spot in the gold mining area of California.  We learned to fly in a J3 super Cub, off a small pond.  We learned to park on a beach, park next to a dock and tie off, fly over and under bridges, guy wires, anything that could hurt us.  It was a lot of fun.  This is NO cub.  This has much more power and will hold a lot more weight.  It is a workhorse of planes, the Canadian Beaver.

This is a plane with skis.  We just landed atop Denali.  It is a very insecure landing on skis.  It is more like a controlled skid.  You can taken advantage of similar flights through any of the air taxis in Talkeetna, Alaska.
