  1. A smooth lake is more dangerous. It has a greater chance of skipping and doing a water version of a ground loop.

  2. Looks like a Maule. I had the pleasure of flying a Maule M5 Lunar Rocket on floats for a few summers in the Canadian Arctic. And glassy water landings are not easy. Steve_in_Ottawa

  3. A Maul, I think. Smooth water makes depth perception more difficult.

    1. Maule M-7 N-number search shows it’s based out of Chugiak near Anchorage. That may be Mirror Lake in September.
