I only have experience with a 185 on Amphibs. The only difference was the cockpit being much higher than normal.I gotta ask - is it hard to land an amphib like that on pavement? Seems like you don't have a lot of room for error on your pitch attitude as you bring it in.
How did that Texas registration wind up there?
Just takes getting used to the nose high sight picture. As for pitch.. mains first then fly the nose wheels on. Gusty cross winds are definitely more work. The pitch attitude is way more finicky on the water.. miss the sweet spot on the foats and your gonna have a bad day.I gotta ask - is it hard to land an amphib like that on pavement?

Nooooooooo ... why can't that dingleberry stay in DC???? Play golf on the tax payers dime in Virginia dammit
As Capt. says, crosswinds can be fun, otherwise it is just a big shopping cart. Sometimes the nose wheels will shimmy and leaves a black ribbon on the runway.I gotta ask - is it hard to land an amphib like that on pavement?

Great dog! Is that a Mastiff?

Either he had had enough hiking, or he wanted to take a bite out of the photographer.Boxer
She never has enough hiking. Took her to start getting her back in shape and she walked me into the ground. Not bad for an 8 yr old boxer.Either he had had enough hiking, or he wanted to take a bite out of the photographer.![]()
I hope I didn't give her a complex by confusing her with a mastiff! She's just a "big boned" boxer!She never has enough hiking. Took her to start getting her back in shape and she walked me into the ground. Not bad for an 8 yr old boxer.
Actually she's pretty small for a boxer, but it's hard to tell until you see her next to a normal sized one. She was the runt of the litter. Most boxers are well over 60-70lbs and she barely breaks 50.I hope I didn't give her a complex by confusing her with a mastiff! She's just a "big boned" boxer!
I felt pretty meh about Petra.Got to explore the lost city of Petra. Pretty awesome. Indiana Jones style...
