Makes me want to go back to the J-3, 12 gallon fuel tank, 65hp engine.

San Francisco International Airport ( SFO ) Public Information Officer just said there’s still no arrivals or departures from the airport. Couldn’t give out much else. Another briefing is scheduled in one hour at 3:00 PM PT.

Seaplane rating in a Super Cub, back in 1996. Most fun I ever had in my life! The hardest part of the check-ride was the sailing the plane with no engine portion to the dock.

Flying low, slow, and when you descend to land, you just idle the throttle and drop like a brick. Glassy water takeoffs were fun too. You lift one leg out and hold it up while you build airspeed and then snap up the other.
