Lowest I've ever flown in a plane!! Over much of the water we were about 250-600 ft to stay under the stormy bumpy air! :0

Bush Plane - August 2023 While I was trying to get an image of Denali peak at Talkeetna, this bush plane flew low up the river. Like many of the planes in Alaska, it is a very old wood and fabric aircraft. This particular plane is a Piper PA-18 Super Cub that has been modified with extra large wheels for rough grass landings. This type of plane was first built in 1946 and over 10,000 were sold before it became “obsolete” in the late 1950s. They are not obsolete in Alaska. Most of the float planes and bush planes are wooden frames with fabric skins. These handle the extreme temperature ranges better than aluminum and are easier to repair. It would not be surprising to find that the plane which I photographed was well over sixty years old. MWM
