Landing a Plane on Alton Bay ice

[ITD]

Found these two videos of airplanes landing on Alton bay, one from the cockpit and the other from the ice. Pretty neat.

Very cool ITD, thanks!! The pilots point of view is especially neat.

If that first landing is only "slightly dodgy", I wonder what's considered really dodgy ? :eek: :laugh:

"Really dodgy" means that they take you away in a stretcher.;) When I was flying, any landing I could walk away from was a good one.

Perfect explanation for some of my "high wind" dockings in the marina at Lake Shore Park! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thank God for "flexible" floating finger piers!

And a good pilot was someone who had an equal number of takeoffs and landings!;)

Hitting a truck at the end of the runway? :laugh:
