ALASKA AIRMEN'S ASSOCIATION FORUMS

[quote="Guest"]Hi there. I'm popping in from the England (Surrey). I love this website and the views are fantastic. I still haven't quite worked out the sequence of the cam though. Is it ok to take pics ?? Do you have a gallery on here for members pics. With such lovely views you could start a monthly forum photo competition. Anyway I have no idea where this post is going to end up so here goes :?
Best wishes from the UK

[quote="seaplanehelmetz"]Webcam Page.

What a great find this is.

Would it be possible to remove all the advert and titles bars so when refreshed the pictures is also on screen.

Another ideas would be for the webcam to refresh itself every 5-10 -15 seconds that would be awesome.[/quote]

We'll see what we can do.

Webcam Page.

I really enjoy the webcam and have it on nearly every day. I also like the ATC conversation. It is no doubt that a live video feed would be really amazing but I think that is something that will come a little further down the road. I am hoping to get to Alaska someday but I guess that is also some day down the road.

Love the web cam Alaska is my favorite place I also wish you could get more band width and go live I recommend the site to everyone I can Thanks for the wonderful view you have daily SB 8-)

I enjoy the webcam and have forwarded this link to my flying buddies here in Tennessee. I have personally walked the entire shoreline of the lake and was amazed that almost every foot is occupied by a float plane! I look foward to returning this August (and miss Oshkosh) to participate in my two favorite pastimes...fishing and flying.

A visit to Lake Hood had been on my "must do" list since I was a lad (over a half-century ago. The dream finally came true when my wife and I spent 4 days in Anchorage prior to departing on a cruise back to Vancouver. Weather was not great but we spent a lot of time at the lake and saw the C206 on Aerocets that is often in the webcam pictures. I look at the webcam almost every day. It is a constant reminder of our magic experience of seeing hundreds of floatplanes in one place and keeps our memories so fresh. Here in Australia it is a big deal if you see more than half a dozen together!
Congratulations on starting the forum - another reason for me to log on often.

Remind me to tell y'all about the snow of '04 here on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Yes, Virginia, it snowed. On Christmas Eve.

Fantastic vistas of the mountains in the background in contrast to the serenity of the waters.[attachment=0]LV640x480HQ300s-20080509073434000D.JPG[/attachment]

I wonder who it was that made that little snowcritter before things started to melt...[/quote]

Other web viewers commented on the "little critter." Here is the response from Nan Llewellyn a Board Member.

The mysterious object you saw on the webcam is actually a snowman, and this is the story of how he came to be:
The Airmen’s Association is currently raising money to build a much needed facility. A friend of mine committed to donating to our building fund if I would in turn build a snowman that he could see on our webcam. So, last night at the conclusion of the monthly Board of Directors meeting, several of the board members went outside and constructed the snowperson you see on the webcam. Unfortunately, the snow conditions were not very conducive to building a snowman, but we gave it our best shot.

We had a really good time; it’s not every day a bunch of grown-ups get to build a snowman. If it meant a donation to our building fund, then we were more than happy to oblige.

Again, thank you for taking an interest in what is happening at the Alaska Airmen’s Association. Ideally, next year we will make an even larger snowman. Keep watching.
