Norm sent me a video of him flying his dominator on ski's.
I like Norm, He is even more crazy than the rest of us here!

that must be some seriously thick air, I thought he was aided by a head wind until he did a 180 and was doing the same ground speed! not to mention his engine sounds like its almost at idle. I wonder what density altitude he is flying at?

Apparently he soloed a Bensen back in 1975

Flying with ski's and float's would be a really new learning experience compared to wheels.
I think I could get lost up there.....would feel a bit safer if I had a plus 100 gallon fuel tank.
Thinking all the better if I couldn't get off the water or ice.....

Norm is about 5 hours from Goose bay Labrador .... back around 1950 - 1960 the USA 22nd Helicopter Squadron had a station there to supply the DEW LINE Radar sites during the cold war

This is what I would want up there.....love this video with full screen:



I have a few hours in those H-21's. I'd replace or repair something on its rotors or some other rotorcraft and the pilots would always seem to feel better if I said "yes" to their question about if I wanted to go along on the test flight.....
