George Weaver sent in this photo of “an anxious J3 on Lake Hood in Anchorage, Alaska — Floatplane Heaven. Nearly everything ever adapted to floats can be found there.”
“Some work every day, some wait for better weather,” he notes. “Time was you could just walk along the shore and breathe it all in. Harder now, but worth it if you can get there.”
Plus full pa-18 cowling!….that’s a super cub!
“J-3”? With flaps, balanced elevators, electric system (strobe on top of vertical fin?) Me thinks more likely a PA-18?
