There was no April Fools posting today or am I so gullible it just went over my head? On an unrelated topic today’s Delaney Place short book synopsis about earlier than known flight by man is a particularly interesting read. https://delanceyplace.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6557fc90400ccd10e100a13f4&id=b88b687547&e=f08d35adcf

Not ... I was there in the 70's when they tried this. As I understand it the theory was that it would skim over the snow, well it kinda did but the snow gets hard and bumpy and there's pressure ridges that made for a rough, noisy and cold ride.

The driver got the worst of it

maybe they were just ahead of their time regarding global warming

I'm not sure how flexible a hovercrafts skirts would be at very low temps.
