- In this video I fly my Super Cub over to Alton Bay Ice Runway in Alton, New Hampshire. Alton Bay Ice Runway (B18) is the only FAA approved Ice Runway in the continental lower 48 United States. The weather and the runway were perfect. Light winds, and not that much traffic at the airport compared to a sunny weekend day.

That was very cool...thanks for taking us along!
Excellent video on Bravo 1 8! Great footage on the approach and departure!
Thank you. It was a blast landing there.
Enjoyed your video. I was there for 4 days last week and saw lots of air traffic this year. Last winter the strip never opened as there was not enough ice. My summer place is near the north end of the runway. Enjoyed the aerial view!
Great video - beautiful! Nicely shot, edited, and narrated - and perfect choice of background music. Thanks so much for this aviation treat and lucky for us to have such a wonderful lake here in NH.
Lovely! Thanks so much for sharing. We have a camp on Rattlesnake. Unique perspective for us.
How sweet
Grew up in Alton and didn't realize how special this was as a kid, just seemed normal to have planes on the bay, ha!
Thanks for the video, I've definitely never seen the lake from this perspective ❤
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Awesome post! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, your editing is great.
Thanks Scott!
Glad you made it to the lake. Couldn't make it out this year. I was putting a new prop on my Maule
I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome flying video with me .
Glad you enjoyed it William.
Thank you, I was taught to taxi without using the brakes anyway. lol I have landed my Swift on an icy runway in NH once, Loved It, thirty years ago, forget the airstrip ;-(
Yes, same here on taxing without brakes.
nice video mark
you made it look easy
Thanks Alan. All about energy management and airspeed, and not too much of it :)
Did you need any braking
@@alanmekler5412 No, I just came in at around 50-55mph across threshold, and maintained "happy feet" on the rudder pedals. Only when I was nearly stopped did I test the brakes to see what the reaction would be. Suffice it to say, braking was negligible. As you can see on the runway it was pretty much clear ice.
Very cool! The scenery is amazing.
Great flight. I’ll get up there by car. Local rental company in Nashua limits to 3K ft paved runways. I need to get proactive and check out in the taildraggers at Sterling.
I’m hoping to go next weekend!
You'll enjoy it. Just be patient for traffic in the air and on the runway. They don't have a taxiway so everyone landing has to back-taxi. It was good to hear how well the pilots were all talking to each other so that no one was surprised where someone was.
Shame you couldn't do a touch and go at 8B8 as well. :(
Awesome video regardless!
Thanks!
What kind of cameras do you use for flying? I absolutely loved watching this video!!! Ty for sharing. I flew over the lake last weekend with my hubby ❤️💫 we r hoping to go there and land soon🎉🎉🎉
I use a GoPro Hero 7 on the left wing, and two GoPro Hero 5s inside the cockpit. I also had an Insta360 OneX (360 degree camera) on the left wing, but it failed me. It locked up during the "saving" stage. If you look at some of my other flight videos you can see that Insta360 OneX working. With that camera you can get rotating images as part of the post-editing phase.
No chance of this today, we are looking at a record breaking ice-out. This is the second year in a row with no ice runway.
@5:46 ... is that a plane that didn't make take off, stuck in the snow at the end of the runway?
Also, awesome video 😀
I didn't talk to anyone about it, but I think that is the case.
@@FalconImagery I live in Barnstead, so the video interested me. Thanks for the content!
I fly a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone....not nearly as cool as your aircraft!
I wanna be a pilot and a be a cool guy too :/
My adult kids definitely don't call me cool :)
@@FalconImagery show them this video, and if they don't do it straight away, well... they will grow up ;)
Thanks for sharing and regards from Portugal!
