This pristine Goose ran out of gas over Lake Clark on jan 3,the ice wouldn't support it on it's wheels and it got frozen in. I wasn't involved but by all reports it was a project getting it back in the air,,about 3 days ago!  I tend to use more than enough gun | ||

Did he try landing wheels down or on the belly? It looks like you guys are cold enough now to really thicken up the ice. Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Here's a DeHavilland Caribou that landed on (in) the ice at a neighboring lodge a few yrs ago. The salvage what a little more involved,but it did fly away in 3 months.    I tend to use more than enough gun | |||

Amazing. Recovering that Caribou is absolutely amazing. I flew one out of Miami for a while. Tough bird. R-2000's and leaked oil like a sieve. It was an old Air America bird. You can find pics on the net. N544Y. | |||
