Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Great images. I wonder whether Male' in the Maldives may now be the largest float plane base in the world, with in excess of 50 Twin Otters operating from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britman Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 So glad your still looking and enjoying. Lake Hood if I remember rightly was literally a walk across the road from Anchorage airport. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Marvellous pics of float planes! 3rd pic down: Is that a water skiing Cessna 185.. Later on, Lots of nice Beavers, the Volpar turbo Beaver... thats one real ugly conversion...... Floatplane PA23 Aztec... saw one in distance on my first visit to Canada in 2002. I like the land planes too, Cessna 195, Stinson Grumman Widgeon versions and Goose nice! . Quite a varied selection of interesting types hiding up North isn't there!!??
