That was always very frustrating for me when I was flying sea planes. Even though technically for landing you can get closer our OPs Specs required us to stay above 500feet w/i 1/2 mile of any person, structure Around here that'd be impossible. On top of that it's not just water skiiers, but boats and jet skies(personal watercraft) try to see just how close they can get. of vessel. That made it hard sometimes to land. We'd fly final weaving around to avoid getting close to water skiiers. Sometimes they'd come right up to us as we're taking off. Very frustrating. On a giant lake these little skiiers would seek you out. Sometimes, flying between the canyon walls setting up for landing, you'd come upon a boat sitting there fishing. Nothing you can do about that. Yup! I loved that opening scene from "Always". :-)) -Robert Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |
