While most of us who end up in corporate aviation or corporate air charter tend to like our Jet-A burning and glass cockpit equipped delights, the fact is that most of us (ok, well some of us.. ok.. maybe *just* the Canadians!) get their start in aviation flying in environments off airports. Bush flying has both a romantic appeal and a "well take low time people and mold them" legacy. For this reason, bush flying has been both venerated and derided for the types of people it builds as pilots. This link from AvWeb is interesting in that it contains a link to a video that is the "right of Spring" for those who operate on straight floats. (For non-bush speaking people, that means the floats that don't have wheels in them, which are known as amphibs - short for amphibious floats.) The DeHavilland Beaver featured in this short film also has a reciprocal "right of Fall" which is not shown, which I think is more exciting.

By more exciting I mean this - Imagine a cold wet fall day, and you have to go to the lake, get in the plane, fly it to a wet grassy area between a taxi way and a runway, land the thing (on floats with no wheels) on that grass. That is what happens and yes, it is not quite as bad as landing an F-18 on the deck of an air carrier, but it is certainly the kind of rapid deceleration that can make your cheeks fatten if only for a moment or two.

This story from AvWeb has the background and the video.
