Cessna Takeoff from Jungle

[drstevenrey]

Why is this Cessna registered to Adonai International Ministries in Madison Illinois? What drug are they growing in Guatemala?

[leekimlanuza]

thumbs up if you think the pilot has big balls

[MrJasonpark86]

Holy.. crap.. that must have been dodgy the first time you did it..

[davido1953]

Pucker factor 10

[jadoretchekhov]

Hi !

Can you show on Google Earth where that took place ?

Thanx !

[zsifk]

I take it these guys are from MAF?

[edelgado1]

This guy has wrecking balls for nuts.

[phantomrock]

adrenaline!!!

[TomOfTheCosmos]

Grass, grass, grass, TREEEEES!

[flanksteak2]

Prop-blasted at 0:07........



[350z350zify]

damn your tail was getting close!

[adonai2540]

@350z350zify So close I had to pull grass out of the tailhook.

[pCf96]

Cessna sure does build a strong and powerful airplane, pretty crappy and rough runway for one of those little guys

[adonai2540]

@pCf96 Yea they do or did anyway. We like the old ones. 

[ellzyss]

haha how funnys that kid that runs right into the propwash

[adonai2540]

@ellzyss Yea the kids love it. It is so hot and sticky there and they don't get much wind.

[eddogbreath]

Good pilot, understands the enveolpe his/her C182 operates in.

[TheNevadaSouls]

this is better than an airliner-pilot :)

[adonai2540]

@TheNevadaSouls Thanks, Dad actually does have his ATP.

[longtalker]

What a pilot!!

Thanks for uploading!

[adonai2540]

@longtalker Thank you. Thanks for watching.

[abstractbybrian]

pure craziness, I almost wet my pants just watching it, let alone being in the plane!

[adonai2540]

@abstractbybrian Well you wouldn't have been the first one to wet you pants in the plane, unfortunately

[cyn303]

as a colonel (ret) in the marijuana force I have never been in or out of such a bad strip. what a ride..............lotsa balls...............thanx for the memories

[adonai2540]

@cyn303 Glad you liked it,

[drow13f10]

this guy is nuts, now I see why pilots drink so much or maybe this is the result of drinkin too much

[adonai2540]

@drow13f10 No, Dads not a big drinker really. He likes the flying into these sort of places, likes the challenge.

[ADDICTED60090]

tail strike?

[adonai2540]

@ADDICTED60090 Yea we hit it sometimes, Its hard not to on the sloped strips.

[Paparollo]

en momentos asi es que uno se pregunta ..  cuanto le pagaran ?? O_O

[adonai2540]

@Paparollo Yea, probably not enough, money anyway.

[DeathMetalShredd666]

wow that's unsafe

[adonai2540]

@DeathMetalShredd666 Yea but nothing is in this part of the country

[kokal1ful]

nice

[flyguy0507]

WOW

[sfsoundhound]

um holy crap

[Camden200808]

When he comes in for his annual, the mechanic asks, "Anything I should know about?" Just a few bumps on my takeoffs on hole 13.

[adonai2540]

@Camden200808 Usually there is grass stains or branches left on anything that has gotten too close.

[sheepdogbarking]

text book perfect!

[TESTASPEEDER]

OMIGOD!!!!! I would have shit' my pants if I was in that aircraft!!!!!!!

[adonai2540]

@TESTASPEEDER And you wouldn't have been the first one.

[ChrizRockster]

Should inspire a new Add-On for FSX lol.

Bush Pilots have big Coconuts!

[adonai2540]

@ChrizRockster I agree than we could practice up.

[phillipislbj]

Perfect form. Great soft field takeoff.

[adonai2540]

@phillipislbj Thanks

[jmmarte]

use a Harrier next time! :)

[adonai2540]

@jmmarte I'd try it if I had one

[videostupids]

LAX airport is nothing! xD El aeropuerto de los angeles no es nada comparado cn esto! :P

[AviatorAcademy]

and that folks is why you use a 170 for that and not a 172. No way I would fly that field in anything but a taildragger.

[chepeiscua]

@AviatorAcademy  good luck with a tail dragger in that strip, its very hard to keep a taildragger straight down the field. If you doubt it, go ahead and try it.

[AviatorAcademy]

@chepeiscua Eh, with over 1100 hours in Pawnees and Air Tractors dusting on two continents, 400+ hours in SuperCubs and 318 hours in a Cessna 170B I think I could handle a taildragger....

[king7wood]

Holy cow!

[omgroy1587]

dam i lil more boucey and hed be down.

[skysurfer0805]

hell .. ^^ , if i get tired of life i start flying in the jungle

[George6736]

Yep. Looks like a Guatemalan Golf Course Fairway.

[George6736]

Is this a Guatemalan golf course fairway?

[JIMAXair]

He started to pull up a little to early like the nose rose right as he passed the cameraman which made him slow down a bit but still bravo.

[wingmansvt]

Your supposed to have the yoke full back on a soft field to keep as much weight off the nose gear as possible. If you can get the nose gear off that's a good thing, he did nothing wrong.

[DL272]

its a soft field takeoff nose wheel is up to prevent the prop from striking notice how that field was uneven

[cessnaclub]

@DL272 Did u notice what a shitbox that plane waz??

[adonai2540]

@cessnaclub What do you have? 

[stfergus608]

what a pilot !

[glaucoras]

É um manivela mesmo, se fosse no Garimpo tinha se matado, arrancando o avião do chão embarrigado assim...

[Panam737ERBBJ]

soft field, me parece

[pocopilot]

thats not even a runway...thats just a clearing in the jungle hahaha

[adonai2540]

@pocopilot Pretty much.

[aetow19]

STOL kit?

[adonai2540]

@aetow19 O yea, Sportsman and VGs, it helps quite abit. Here at our home strip at 4000ft we can get the 182 off the ground in 300ft when the plane is empty.

[adonai2540]

@aetow19 O yea, Sportsman and VGs, it helps quite abit. Here at our home strip at 4000ft and 90 degrees, we can get the 182 off the ground in 300ft when the plane is empty.

[adonai2540]

Hmmm No its definitely not a 172, I just got out it 15 minutes ago. Maybe you have the wrong N-number. Its a 1958 182A ( the best model 182 ever made) atleast I think so.

[golfrguy7]

The FAA registry shows this aircraft as being a 1974 172M, not a 182 as previously mentioned.

[adonai2540]

@golfrguy7 Maybe you looked on the FFA website?

[fenderish]

risky as fuck

[luto2000]

respect

[adonai2540]

@luto2000 Thanks

[topbanana188]

Wow, not much room for mistakes

[strato172]

No room for mistakes at all.

[Askelairlines747]

not even room for mistakes in the mind

[amicizia123]

Oly shit...this is like Air America!

[adonai2540]

@amicizia123 One of my favorite movies, very inspiring.

[ejlister]

So that's what christian adrenaline junkies do.  nice

[adonai2540]

@ejlister Yea, among other things.

[camomule]

Can't haul too much gocaine from that strip!

[jmr604]

That's come high risk flying.. but, someone has to do it.

[bushpilot172]

Wow, great takeoff. Those old 182s are so much better than the new ones. I guess Cessna has to sell aircraft to the market that will buy them. Long live the straight tails!

[adonai2540]

@bushpilot172 AMEN

[ddeleiott]

okay, so it's not very comforting knowing that my daughter is flying around Guatemala in these little planes on those kind of runways. I'm glad I've trusted her to God. :)

[lorezimerman]

grande piloto,pouso,decolagen incrivel,parabens,obrigado pelo vidio

[adonai2540]

Im not sure what all that means but Thanks

[DerKreuzfahrer]

Wow, some airstrip, I bet thats worse than the one we had...

[adonai2540]

Yea Its pretty bad we had to do some work to it. Its about 1000 ft long with a 5 degree slope It is very narrow 60ft in one spot and It rains abunch there so it can be pretty slippery
