"Exploring the Skies and Waters: A Journey with Float Planes" Embarking on a thrilling adventure, we take to the skies in the de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter CF-OPI. Our destination? The breathtaking landscapes of Alaska, USA. Nondalton awaits us with its untouched beauty, where our next float plane, the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver CF-ODS, eagerly waits to transport us. In just three days' time, we find ourselves amidst the vibrant cityscape of Hong Kong. But before that, at dawn today - Saturday - we witnessed one of BOAC's latest Hythe float planes taking flight. Its graceful ascent marked a new chapter in aviation history. Continuing our journey across North America, we arrive in Ketchikan, Alaska. Here, aboard a Short Scion Senior float-plane L9786 or a Piper J3-65 Cub float-plane (take your pick. ), we embark on an awe-inspiring flightseeing tour over the mystical Misty Fjords. As if stepping back in time to witness aviation legends firsthand, our path crosses with Jimmy Doolittle and his iconic Curtiss R3C racer from 1925. We marvel at their courage and pioneering spirit as they push boundaries high above ground. Our exploration wouldn't be complete without experiencing military might up close. The United States Navy Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk captures our attention as it gracefully glides through the air. Finally, reminiscing about historic achievements brings us to remember the USaS Douglas World Cruiser float-plane that circumnavigated the globe. It serves as a testament to human determination and innovation. From soaring heights to tranquil waters below; from witnessing technological advancements to embracing nature's wonders – this journey with various float planes has been nothing short of extraordinary.
