That's just a little misleading. If you look at the puddle in the forground while the plane is on final, you can see the wind is almost blowing the water off the ground. Still a real cool video nonetheless.

There is also a good chance that they had 3000 pounds of salt on board when they did that landing. Think about that.

Cheers,

Wow I got into watching STOL twotter videos from this thread and this is what I found. The first video is of a private cherokee taking off from St. Barth Island in the caribbean. The second video is of a Winair twin otter taking off from the exact same runway. Wow.

I want to die like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers...

Hey, guys, you should see what it looks like when we landed on snow covered ice....as soon as you go into reverse everything just goes white.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.
