In the early Canadian Bush Plane era it seems they put floats or skis on just about anything that flew. Junkers, Northrop, Fairchild, De Havilland, Bellanca and Noordyun all supplied aircraft that could be fitted with floats and skis and they were.

I was going to ask the same question! It's rather like a DH Otter after going to 'Slimfast' !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Good analogy Terry!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Terry.
If this one is to new I'll remove it.

 

[Capt. Vick]

I love that they still value a big 4 engine float plane! The Chinese have one as well, though the production numbers are in the single digits.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I am surprised more like these are not being used.

 

[Wurger]

Nice shots here.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice stuff guys!
