That last one was at the Fairbanks International Float Pond....92 or 93, the year we got 147 inches of snow....UGLY.

Shoveled my roof that year. Swept the wings of my airplanes twice a week, seemed like.

Hey, that's my plane N91393 in the photo under "2002 Iditarod". It's also in a few different years photo groups. Unfortunately I didn't own it then. I just dream of that kind of flying.

That wingtip looks a bit more like wash-in to me. Not good :(
