My first post in this thread. A quick stop in Crawford Bay one day to practice approaches over an obstacle. For those who have been there, you all know the tree.

Crawford bay from the other end in a 'ho. Back before I had a digital camera, had to scan this one.

Testing out a new FASTBUCKET from AFS in Hope the other day... with any luck I'll get to use it on a fire shortly, but despite the insane heat there's no new starts here.... So we wait.

Is it too much to ask for both?

Re: Pix From a Swamper - Remembering Craig Chenell
Well......Is it too much to ask for both?

Re: Pix From a Swamper - Remembering Craig Chenell
Why would you let it spin and spin and spin on the latches at the dock with people walking around?!? quicker/easier to feather..

If that is the true then why are they not doing he same on the right engine.
The Truth is that almost every Twin otter operator is feathering the dock side engine so i stops spinning quicker as there have been to many people walk into spinning propellors. Most operators tie off the back of the float and then shut that engine down. They only bring the front in to be tied after the propellor has stopped spinning.
