One of the pilot landed on the beach when engine went out. His trike has fat tires which made the landing on beach safer. Mine are "wheelbarrow" tires, it will definitely flip over on the soft sand beach. So the tires do make difference on the sandy beach.- I flew that same area back in 1972 and got in trouble with the ranger for landing on the beach at echo bay. by the way Riz you can go to northwing.com and they have schematics of all those parts and how to attach them
- Thanks Tussock! No landing on the beach allowed apperantly. But it's all good....my little airport queen problbly wouldnt handle the sand too well with her high heels. ;)
- It's intresting Ken, we thought for sure the news vans would be there. But upon arrival everyone there treated it as if it was normal to land on the beach. >< Very uneventful all things considered. Brent did a fantastic job landing man.
- Bitchin Rick!! Digging the tunes man! Perfect! @Ken, that's Brents unplanned beach landing. A bad fuel filter forced him down. We drove his rig and picked him up. ;)
- YFT, AH! I see. The cliffs in the background setup the wave effect? One would think that is magnified when the beach temps are warmer than the land temps. Air current is dragged off the cliffs as the beach air rises, starting the wave. Thank you for the education. Never thought of those being there.
