A sturdy looking Caravan floatplane spotted on the shore of Lake Hood in Anchorage. First flown in 1982, 3,000 had been delivered by 2022. For over 40 years, the Cessna Caravan has been recognized as the SUV of the air. Lake Hood has the distinction of being the largest and busiest seaplane base in the world with over 750 resident aircraft. In the winter, this seaplane base becomes the world’s largest ski plane base, as most of the seaplanes based here remove their floats and replace them with skis.
