For Floatplane Friday, here's a DHC-3 DeHavilland Otter with a turbine conversion getting the floats pulled and replaced with wheels in preparation for getting skis.

It can be. I usually rotate between that and low flying Friday, or just flying Friday depending on what strikes my fancy.

That would be cool. Id enjoy it at least. You know with all the varied intrests of the Jaloposhpere. I am surprised there are no articles about "The Schnieder Cup" from the 1920s and 30s on here. An international arms race of crazy fast float planes that helped give birth to iconic fighters like the Supermarine Spitfire

Publish it to your personal blog, and i'll share it to Oppo and Planelopnik. If its any good, we'll see if you can get it shared to the front page.
