Some very impressive flying skills are on display here. Certainly not for novices or nervous pilots. In my past, I was a crop sprayer, firebomber and Bush pilot on DC 3s. I found your video quite nostalgic. Thank you. I'm 76 now.
Impressive yes. But unsafe controls useage.
@@hotrodray6802 How is it unsafe?
i have always had a ton of respect for crop sprayers - sluree bombers - bush pilots -ETC they are some crazy skilled pilots..
Considering how dangerous fire bombing and crop spraying is you are lucky you lived to tell the tale.
I don't think these people will live to your ripe old age. Don't encourage others to take chances.
I fly an LSA out of a grass strip in NC. That’s enough challenge for me. Flirting with disaster does not appeal to me.
Keep in mind that a lot of people will consider your situation as ( flirting with disaster ) so everthing is relative :)
I fly lsa outta NC too! KRUQ
@@derheeheehee6941how is flying an LSA off a grass air strip flirting with disaster in any way?
@@derheeheehee6941 oh I must have read your comment wrong then lol
I have flown LSA off grass many times even off very short grass strips I never thought it was flirting with disaster. If at any time I thought it was to risky I would not have done it.
Incredible flying, those low speed low altitude turns are so great to watch
Really incredible compilation of backcountry flying. The drone shots of the landings and takes are super impressive!
Neat. Pops had a 1976-ish Bellanca Citabria at one time in his 40+ years of flying. It was used for towing gliders and for surveying his multiple timber falling jobs in Wa State. We made several landings at washed out road sections up by the Mt St Helens Volcano after it exploded. One landing on the old washed-out highway required some brush removal by both of us at the departure end, because space was at a minimum for take off. We cleared the end by a good bit, but it was still tight. After that Dad upgraded to a fresh Lycoming 235hp, instead of the 160hp that it came with, installed covertly by a very good mechanic and friend. No more short field takeoff worries. It jumped up then. Snap rolls were a definite improvement, just had to keep positive G's on the oil pan, or it made a HUGE mess under the cowl. The Skagit river has the Pink Salmon runs. Tried that once upon a time, We caught 2. Beautiful up that way. Gods Country.
One of the best STOL review videos. Great work and excellent explanations!
That Mooney at the beginning was awesome, he brought it in and hung it right over the ground til it settled in for a smooth landing.
Not at all easy in a Mooney Theyll really float on you
What a great video - many thanks for putting it up, I really enjoyed it. Super bush flying skills too!!
Fantastic video! I used to fly a Piper Cub into all kinds of tight spaces. All comes down to proper energy management...
Thanks Larry. I love watching these skilled landings and take-offs. Great video
I haven't flown in years, but I've got time on Super Cub wheels and floats. These are some of the best videos I've seen, like being there. Really enjoyed that.
When I first started flying in Alaska ,I flew a Taylorcraft (65 hp) and it had no flaps .So you had to slip it to get into tight places. Really made a better pilot out of me . I love landing in off airport strips, sand or gravel bars, mtn sides etc. So much more fun that an airport.
Agreed @johnwood551 when I went from 180HP with flaps (PA-18) to 85HP without flaps (Champ on tundra tires) my energy management and slipping skills improved exponentially. A climb prop really helps too!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! ❤ This is some really great footage…thank you.
Impressive. I used to fly my father's C185F all along the Mexican Gulf Coast, him usually landing on bare grass strips (we were cattle ranchers), plus a couple of times along the narrow sand bars along the coast. I would say he was close to your level of expertise (though not me, certainly). Usually no room for error too. Huge respect to you all. Hats off.
Just an outstanding display of aircraft control! I've seen the guys in Alaska with the STOL planes. Excellent Pilots and aircraft!
this is soo cool and crazy. I have a cessna 182, can't imagine doing anything like this. Amazing.
Even on video, these landings and take-offs are thrilling! Thanks!
reminds me of seaplane flying - lots of fun, no airports needed - great videoes!
Thanks Larry,your passengers enthusiam inCosta Rico mirrors my admiration.
Pure skill. Fly safe and keep up the great work!
brother, you have mad skills. I really respect you
Thank you Impressive Flying !! some almost unbelieveable. All the best!
thank you, I have been following you for some time, years maybe. I really feel that I'm in that left seat. I began flying at age 6-7, 1947. Never completed my licence so I ride with pilots like you. My certified Cessna 205-7 Captain friend of decades in Haiti just passed. He was my chat flyer. There are many of us around this planet/world. We fly in our minds and dreams. Thank you.
Amazing flying, especially with that crackpipe on the dash, seen at 4:21.
😄
the drone and cockpit footage is awesome to watch. great job!
Holy shit haha! You guys are crazy and it's awesome to watch! The drone footage is nuts 👌
amazing to hone your skills this good. Truly amazed
Wow! Extraordinary skills on display in this video.
Appreciate it your videos a whole lot. They show a lot of experience.
SMILES AND RESPECT The water assist landing to lose speed Is really something 😃❤️💎
Those drone shots are stellar.
Love to be flying with you and your 170 with the 180 hp constant speed prop that makes this amazing
Now that's precision flying.
3:53 he about bout the farm on that one. Wow. Thanks for posting, some really good videos.
Great video. In Finland we a small airport called Jämi. It is fine airport and has a long new runway, but the old runway that was in use in the past is challenging. There is a steep uphill (or downhill) right in the middle of the runway. If you come against the uphill you can land before it but you have to keep up the speed that you can climb on top. If you take off on downhill direction, you have to make sure you don't get airborne too early when the runway suddenly disappears from under you. We landed on that old runway with my father during the eighties with Cherokee 160.
These are my favorite videos keep them coming. THIS IS SKILL
Great flying as usual. Good to see a new video.
Thank you so much. These were unbelievable. I'm so jealous.
That is some incredible flying!!
Damn! I hope the risk was worth the reward. Those were some pretty tight landing spots with zero margin for error. The Mooney pilot looked like he just stomped on the rudder pedal, was not really a forward slip, the wings remained level. Had it been he could have held all the way down to the last 6 inches of flare. You can see he floats for a good couple hundred feet which means excessive airspeed as he let off the rudder to get the airplane lined back up. Despite the technique he still shoved it into a tight strip successfully so kudos to him. Those other landings/takeoffs definitely put the pilot's skills on display there is no denying that.
Thats some seriously good flying!
You are clearly very skilled. Thanks for sharing these amazing video clips.
That's what I call some really fun flying.
I did really enjoy these take offs and landings! Fixed wing bush flying is much more interesting than the helicopter thing. Have never understood why i like it so much, maybe it is that all decisions are final, no room for error when flying on the edge of stalling.
This is the epitome of “stick and rudder” flying. Impressive
Watching these brings back memories of my dad flying like that, fun stuff even as a passenger.
Thank you for these landings learning .
Also live in WA state. These are wonderful to see - thanks for sharing!
Nice Mooney, I use to paint these, I now lots about them, great airplanes.
Some great videos. Thanks for sharing
that's just crazy, incredible video!
This looks so fun. Love your channel!
Thank you so much!!
Nice flying, I tip my hat to you sir!
That’s some amazing flying sir!
Very experienced and good pilots. Amazing to see the airmanship.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve never done that kind of flying, looks like fun. Makes most of my commercial flying look like nothing.
Some nice flying. Subbed
Beautiful scenery.
As a man who grew up in Alaska more flight time than driving time by 18 we learned early on there are bold pilots but no old BOLD pilots. Witnessed my Brothers Father in law Crash killing himself. All his kids were present -1 who was in jail.
Very nice. Loved the video.
great work!
Like your videos, interesting without stupid banner or music. Nice bush flying! Drone shots of takeoffs and landings are great!
Excellent video - Thanks!
Pretty cool flighting…. Great pilots
Kudos to the mooney pilot. No flaps not an easy plane to land, they can start to pogo real easy.
His flaps were down on the approach, he just retracted them in the flare.
@@kjacklesit appears you're right about the flaps but it makes no sense retracting flaps on short short final. I've never been in a Mooney much less flown one but it's strange to take out the flaps then in any plane you will get that sinking feeling real fast if you do so nose down to increase speed and all makes no sense to do that.
A Mooney will float in ground effect more than just about any other plane. If you need to get one stopped in a hurry, you can retract flaps in the flare and it will touch down immediately. I've won a few spot landing competitions that way. ;-)
@@hotprop92 those flaps are hydraulic and bleed up gently in about 4-6 secs under the air loads at low speed (if set correctly). He raised them in the flare so as to have them gently retract as the plane transitioned from ground effect to touchdown. This makes it possible to begin braking almost immediately. I’ve 20yrs and 1000+ in vintage Mooneys. Pretty typical technique.
veey skilled and experienced pilots and beautiful backcountry...nuce video...nice to see some different parts of my state Washington 👍
The Cessna 170 is among my fave airplanes.
That is a great opening.
Love your videos.
Well thats some pretty sporty stuff!
Very skilled pilots, nice video :D
The Cessna 170 with modified main gear is a good aircraft for those tight landing areas!! 😊😎
Larry You are killing it. Nice flying. See you when you come back to “The Frank”.
That's some impressive flying...
You are mad!!!😂😂,very good pilot!!! Awsome video!
Great video... was sitting on the edge of my seat due the trees...
Good emergency landing demos
Impressive flying
first one did well to side slip that mooney in.
That WAS a sweet sideslip. Who said Mooney is hard to land.
Red Mooney did perfect. I fly my T-28 off grass. No challenge.. know your limits just because you cannot do what others cannot do doesn’t mean they are crazy…
I would have loved to see the Money taking off on that short runway and the trees on both sides😬
Great video man
Great work. Let know if you are even in Edmonds
that was fun to watch. I've done some fairly aggressive short field landings but nothing like what these pilots could do. That one cessna pilot came very close to losing that plane.
Muy buen video. Muchas Felicidades desde Guatemala
That approach @2:00 was so beautiful.
I've been to several of those places, cool place to live
I recognize Bryan the Mooney pilot!!! 😃 He is a highly skilled aviator. Known to bring the Mooney M20C into tight places, and not so improved surfaces…. Last seen in something more fitting for outback flying… Great video, fabulous details, enjoyable to watch!!! Thank you. - a -
You know why he flew in without flaps? Better braking?
Piper painter. haven't seen that plane around for years now.
Now...that is flying!!!
I think some people are confusing impressive with proper planning, training, currency and familiarity with their aircraft. All of this is straightforward with that in mind.
That is SCARY 😨 just to watch!!!
The Cessna 170 is one of the finest aircraft I have ever flown!
Bonjour 😊 Some fantastic piloting skills and challenging landing there.
You guys are nuts !! I have a ppl and have around 500 hrs with aerobatics, but this is very impressive, My hat is off to your skills.
Heading north over the Sauk, thence west over the Skagit, under the wires, sharp left, a beautiful gravel bar. That tree trunk has been laying there for a long time.
That Mooney in the opening clip was not helped by a hefty dose of crosswind to add to the tight approach.
Great and respect to the pilots! That's a dream. As a pilot, I always wanted to land somewhere. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to do that in Germany.
These guys are the GOATS. Cartel pilots!
I keep re-watching your videos and I learn more each time as I learn more outside of them. There's so much to unpack, thanks! I've not seen you clean the flaps up on short landings.. Especially on wet grass, is there a reason for this? Just not enough hands, or do you not see it as beneficial? I would have thought reduced float and increased traction would have been a huge benefit?
Dont want to add the distraction, this places are narrow and uneven, and the benefit is not that much, I am landing so slow plane is sticking to the ground anyways.
Wow, all of these rivers are near where I live or I have personally been to. You guys have guts. I thought this kind of flying was only done in remote Alaska rivers.
