    Float Plane takeoff from dry land.

    Friend sent me this. Pretty neat.
    How do you get a‘Cessna 185 Float Plane’ to takeoff from an airfield's concrete runway?


    Well, where there is will, there is a way!

    This aircraft was extensively overhauled in a dry land facility

    and was then launched back into the air from the

    Mitchinson's Flight Centre in Saskatoon, Canada,

    where there was no water

    upon which they could float the plane for take off.

    This is fascinating and so brings back the era

    of the dare devil air show feats of the nineteen thirties.Watch this and see how!

    We can make anything airborne with enough thrust and lift, and borrowed wheels if necessary
