Plane Lands On Snow With Ski Landing-Gear At Ann Arbor Airport, January 1947 Photographer: Eck Stanger

Year:
1947
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, January 7, 1947
Caption:
Graceful co-ordination rivaling the flight of a sea-gull is demonstrated by this light plane as it skims in for a perfect landing on the snow-blanketed field at the Ann Arbor city airport. The plane is one of several that have been equipped with ski landing-gear to familiarize flight students with special problems of winter flying. Ice-bound rivers and lakes furnish hundreds of new landing-fields during the long Michigan winter - but use of temporary facilities provided by the Weather Man requires a special technique on the part of the pilot. The plane is being flown by Everett Esch, former Willow Run test pilot and now the head of a local flying school.
