While flying a short run near Anchorage Alaska my Goose's engines caught on fire.
Fire Suppression wasn't working so I had to make a quick landing while my engines lasted. The closest place to put her down was a lake 10KN to the south. I lined up with the lake and brought her in, sweating bullets the entire way.
Finally I put her in the water. Now I need to fly a maintenance team out here to fix my baby.
