June 29, 201213 yr Yes, yes, glaciers, ho hum! No, just kidding, haven't gotten around to trying to land on glaciers, yet. Just give me time! But, as I was flying from the southernmost point of the scenery (think I'll hit every airport on the way up to the North Slope ), all those ice floes got me wondering what would happen if I ran out of fuel. Could I land on them? This is really STOL, and the Mixed Weather Theme with 30 kt. winds is just more fun. There was never any doubt that I could land on such a short distance with this airplane. But, no time to dally ... that headwind is blowing me backwards towards the edge of the floe. :LMAO: So, the question now is - can I take off again? Well, now I know. In case of need, and if there is no airport in sight, just pick the closest ice floe. Best regards. Luis Hot, humid Caribbean paradise!
