Snuffy/Bill V:
I remember seeing this video last year, but do not remember him coming
in hot and doing a go around. Question, how does he stop it on that
strip.?

PS: Drove through multiple cells, from Tallahassee, FL, to hauck's
holler, AL, this afternoon. When I went through Ozark, the town was
without power and the wind was howling. I did not know that
Enterprise, AL, had already been hit by a tornado. 8 dead. It
demoslished the high school. Troy, AL, rained so hard I could not
see. Just south of MGM hit another big cell of frog stragling rain.
When I got home, it had rained, but no damage. Still waiting to see
what happens before thsi big system moves through our area.

Question, how does he stop it on that
Don't know how he stopped. Only experience I had with skis was with
a C-120 on Federal 1500's and the places I flew in and out of
stopping was a non issue. Like on Saginaw bay. It's a good idea to
know how far yer plane will slide after touchdown and give yerself
plenty of room. You can sometimes steer into a few snow drifts as
long as there ain't no fences or stuff buried in them. I had deeper
unpacked snow on the north edge of my runway I could steer into to
slow her down quicker if needed. I stayed away from ice with no snow
on it. Also I always carried 2 short 2x4's to put under the front of
the skis so they wouldn't freeze down when I parked her.

Hi John
I just saw on TV that there is some really bad weather in your area, we hope
all is well.
No problem stopping on Aaron's strip with skis because we are coming in
lower and slower; also the tail wheel make a good break in certain types of
snow. My old T-Bird was so heavy in the rear that I had to have a tail wheel
ski on it. (I don't miss that plane)

Thanks Bill V:
All is well at hauck's holler, but the folks down in Enterprise, AL,
did not fare so well. Last report I got was 9 dead. Tornado hit the
high school.
Seems the little kolb tail wheel would make a good brake. Just haul
back on the stick once the plane quits flying.

Not Kolb related. Yesterday 6-8 Kiowa (sp?) helos flopped down here
at Winchester VA regional, enroute Ft Rucker, from Iraq for overhaul.
They surely looked beat, the helos AND the crews. Supposed to TO at
first light today..hope they either didn't, or stopped before AL.
