Where was that, Tim?

I love it; the floats on that Otter are nearly the same size as the fuse.

I'm kind of curious about what size floats an Otter requires. The Norseman I used to fly up there used 7170 Edos. They were pretty good sized too.

I forget what size the floats are. But this one had extended floats and a 1000HP engine. That is a Cessna 180 strapped on, wings are on the other side, almost everything else is inside, including 6 empty 55 gal barrels. Brooks Range.
