Imagine being able to do this with your SLR

This is probably what can be achieved by someone who does not spend most of their time in FS related activities!EricT

this one is probably playing underhanded as it may pluck a few heart strings ?

What altitude was the Super Cub flying at when you were onboard?

[TobyV]

By my estimations from the map, the airstrip was at close to 7375ft at the top end. I think we spent most of the flight a little lower than that but at certain points we were definitely higher. I had no view of the instruments, but I would say in the range 6000-8000ft ASL.

Lovely Pics Toby

Thanks

That yellow and red looks treat amongst the blue and white of the scenery

I think a white plane might be quite dangerous there You'd never see it against the snow. This said, someone had a small white aircraft with a swept rear mounted wing, pusher prop and canards. Sadly I didn't get a picture of that.

Thanks for the information TobyV.

BTW, how long was the flight?

Hi Jimm,

I didn't time him but before the flight I asked him if it would be about 15mins which he affirmed and it felt about that long. Would happily have spent longer up there but of course that would have cost more! Managed to get the photos of the landing sequence when he brought the next customer back.
