Damn! Those floats sure do drag!
We watched the movie "Trapped" recently. The good guy had a
floatplane (C182?). I thought that was cool. Then he had to take a phone call while flying. He pulled the engine so that the bad guy wouldn't know he was in a plane, but he had to shove it into a 1,000-3,000 fpm dive! He did it twice - once over water and once over land. He barely made it each time. Those floatplanes are *dangerous*! --kyler |
