Float take-off

[Ron S]

I have this picture as a desktop background on my work computer and I get lots of comments from co-workers and customers on the unusual view from above. It shows about 60feet into the takeoff of my Kitfox 4, 1200 912S at our cottage on one of the 30,000 islands in Georgian Bay. The picture was taken last summer by my wife from the cottage deck.
It reminds me of my instructor’s frequent comments (about 30-odd years ago) “Right rudder, nose down to get on the step!”
It is great to look at summer flying pictures this time of the year, the next time I’ll be at that spot, the water will be ice and I’ll be on skis.
