ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Great report obviously, love those float plane scenes. The views from the Otter and 471PM are my fav's. :cheers:
BTW, Lake Hood in Anchorage also claims to be the busiest SPB. And I believe them. :mrgreen:

28. On the final approach for runway 06.

I hope you enjoyed the report, comments are always very very welcome! :mrgreen:

Kind regards, Jeffrey Schäfer!
Certainly an enjoyable report! And what great hospitality from KLM! Your return flight was on July 28th I guess, looking at the crewmembers?

Thanks! And I'm sorry, I meant busiest ATC CONTROLLED Water Aerodrome!! (That's what the information boards on location told me..)

Wow How did you know? You know the crew? I did fly home on the 28th indeed! (Send me a personal message if you want!)

Ah, then I'll believe that. Lake Hood is 'kind of controlled' ;) (witnessed that myself in ANC TWR).

Either way: it's always great to be around floatplane operations. And your enthusiastic reporting and photography are well worth viewing.
