Very cool timelapse! Better be extra good on the rudder to attempt this... I know I've got a long way to go before I'd be comfortable giving it a try!

The taildragger landing at the 40 second mark looked a little sporty.

Looked like someone put it into the snow at the end of the runway at the very end of the clip. Had to get it pushed back.

So glad to have been there 3 weeks ago. So much yellow snow!

I think they also set a record for the number of bent airplanes this year as well

Alton didn’t cause anything to be bent, basic airmanship that probably would have caused even more damage at a normal airport is what caused the bent tin

I’ve done the lake several times. It’s not for the inexperienced during a cross wind with smooth ice. Glad to see they set a new record ,good for the local economy
