    I worked at ANC back in 1968. I always remembered the lake with the float planes "docked" around the shores. As you would expect alot of changes since then.

    Really didn't see anything of real interest other than a plane with the engine above the cock pit. Need to see it fly. It looks like it could do a short take-off, but I could be wrong, it looks like it could do a short landing, but I could be wrong. Looks like a cool airplane, but I could be wrong.

    I used to fly with maps that were just blanks! Last I flew, I had good GPS that gave me the exact distance, direction and height but it was was so foggy that I could not see my own wing or the Otter's nose! So I could land totally blind but at the right place. Imagine, you slowed down and suddenly, you landed, then go forward very slowly until I see a beach, then turn the plane around to back up to that beach! I had two GPS, one was my portable one, in case the other one shut down!

    The reference to helicopters is well-taken. Reminds me of the scene in Illusions where the main character drops his aircraft into a too-short field by "hanging in the air" above it and dropping like a hawk. 'Course that guy was magic; he could wangle the laws of physics. This plane's for normal people. Incredible take-offs and landings from unreal surfaces -- and flights through breathtakingly narrow air lanes.
