In thinking about it, finding " a field, on a road, or if you are really lucky, at an airport ", is almost comical, given what is usually beneath us...5400AirportRdSouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864920053222979747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920249280746318655.post-74989067473837661052009-06-16T21:27:21.605-07:002009-06-16T21:27:21.605-07:00Like you, flying below 1500 ft agl with wheels use...Like you, flying below 1500 ft agl with wheels used to make me a little nervous until I came to this conclusion: Over the terrain I fly over, flying at a higher altitude will only get me one thing - time. If I'm at 500 or 5000, I'm still going to end up landing in swamp, so what's the difference? I still like to fly high for better TAS, but I don't mind being down in the muck at 300 agl (lowest legal altitude you can fly with pax as per 703) either if there's cloud above. That being said, floats would be nice, but thats not what I fly.<br /><br />Keep up the posting! I enjoy them.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732820595579405728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920249280746318655.post-49205525028135715272009-06-12T13:10:35.097-07:002009-06-12T13:10:35.097-07:00Awesome pics as usual!

I'm living the float dream along side you vicariously...LOL.<br /><br />Neat to see the moose! <br /><br />Sorry about the shitty weather, have been having similar problems here myself. Used to being able to blast off in 200 and 1/2...but now I'm back to VFR...so that won't be happening anytime soon.<br /><br />Keep on having fun!Dagnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053957505110515102noreply@blogger.com
