Re: Cool Landing at Iron Bar

Wow, that really looks nice. What is the minimum speed you have to carry in order for the airplane to ski on the tires, below flying speed, and yet not have the tires sink into the water? I'm sure it is dependent on weight and aircraft type, but I'm asking in general terms for that Cub in the video.

Is that just down from the China Rapids area?
