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!



Luckily?

Wow, good thing those things appeared all the sudden, eh?


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.



Boggle.


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)


Uh yeh.

-- but he seemed to
be having a good time nonetheless.



God what an idiot you are.
