Lake Hood: What an honor to have took off and landed on the same water that so many great pilots have used.
To be lake side when those Beavers are launching, and have their radial engines resonate in you chest is as good as the second day of a honeymoon.

Beaver fever! w00t!
What did they do with the speed radar, BTW? I bet a Twin Otter on floats took off, dragged a gaffing hook, snagged it and skipped it along the canal to its watery grave! LOL...perfect ending!

Video Obviously shot at Lake Hood/Lake Spenard Float Plane base in Anchorage...the worlds busiest and largest float plane base. I kept my T-Craft on Floats there for years.

If you really want to get excited you should go take a discovery flight in an airplane. For 99.00 you can take one in a sea plane, similar to what you saw here..or for around 60 to 70 you can take one in a "regular" airplane. I am a private pilot and just did my first float plan training this weekend. Was the funnest flying I have EVER done.

4 months later and i still get excited seeing that

beavers are comparable to pick up trucks with wings... I saw one on Long Lake NY, takeoff with three people, all their gear, including a canoe and a kayak,(lashed to the floats)... the floats were very nearly submerged, and the pilot used up an awful lot of lake to get airborne... It was truly an impressive sight.

Multiply the 60 knots by 1.15 and you'll have 69 MPH

I believe it was flying by below 60knts. Keep coming back and I'll post a Cessna that flew by and was in the range of a traffic speed radar along the roadway. I panned from the plane to the radar to get its speed.

what does 60 knots compare to in mph?
ntala 5 years ago
The speed is my guess but 60knots is about 69mph

I have another video that shows a Cessna taking off from the same point that shows a rough idea how fast its going
