Hi Ray!
UW>> Just returned from Alaska. Never saw so many floatplanes in my life.
RM> What did I tell you?
You did??? Forgot, shame on me.
UW>> Spent 2 hours at Lake Hood watching floatplanes taking off and
UW>> landing each minute.
RM> I was watching my videotapes of Anchorage the other day. There's not
RM> a single outdoor shot which doesn't have the sound of aero engines in
RM> the background. Sounds terrific in stereo. :-)
A day later I parked the RV at the Northern Lights Mall (sp?) next
to Merritt Field and had my lunch there on the parking lot. Well,
every 30 seconds a small airplane came within the grip of my hand
and landed behind the mall. LOT of air traffic seemingly uncoordinated
around that field, strange view. A/c from the left, from the right,
from behind and flight students with their typical traffic pattern
in between.
Glad to hear you're doing well according to previous mails
in this echo.
Uwe
