A feature on this aircraft and the company it flise for will be in the next Aviation News and will be worth a read.

Great pics!..

There is a FSX a/c addon firm making a Super Cub that can do water skimming in FSX...so we should be able to replicate this soon.

I don't know about Alaska but I have some video here somewhere of Ag pilots in Africa having fun on their time off skimming down rivers 2 or 3 abreast.
I will have to have a hunt and see if I can find it and post a little of it.

There is also a South African Harvard formation team who do the same across a lake. The first I heard of this type of "skiing" was Ag pilots in Africa in the 80's flying Air Tractors and Thrushes
