Float Plane takeoff from dry land.

Friend sent me this. Pretty neat.
​

How do you get a‘Cessna 185 Float Plane’ to takeoff from an airfield's concrete runway?


Well, where there is will, there is a way! ​

This aircraft was extensively overhauled in a dry land facility​

and was then launched back into the air from the ​

Mitchinson's Flight Centre in Saskatoon, Canada,​

where there was no water​

upon which they could float the plane for take off. ​

This is fascinating and so brings back the era​

of the dare devil air show feats of the nineteen thirties. Watch this and see how!​
