Learning to Fly

Putting skis on an airplane may seem like an absurd idea to some, but to others it means unbridled freedom. The snow magically transforms uneven terrain, brush, and trees into a suitable place to land, unlocking miles of inaccessible wilderness. I never have flown skis, so it seemed about time to learn how. With the help of an instructor friend and his trusty Stinson 10A, I discovered why ski flying is so much fun.
