Default What a Landing!

What a Landing looks like it was flat and way to fast!

When we were in Wisconsin yesterday a guy landed his Champ in the snow
alongside the runway. Luckily he was on skis, and was presumably on his way
back from the ski plane fly-in in Oshkosh!

We didn't see him land, and it was kinda startling, seeing the plane parked
off in the deep snow. At first, we thought he had crash-landed.

The guy had to go through quite a production to fuel (carrying cans over
from the pump -- no way to get the truck to his plane) and to depart (pick
up the rear end, and turn the plane around 180 degrees, which looked like no
fun at all in the deep snow) -- but he seemed to be having a good time
nonetheless.
