Mountain top landing strips: Bush Flying: Amazing short take off and landings

[wlfpckrs]

N numbers?

[6185cam]

of course you need a license to fly it you need a license to fly any plane but what kinda plane is that? i gotta say im still in flight school and ive gotten pretty good at my landings but god damn i can guess with your landings on those mountain tops you got a good few hours under your belt yeah?

[Gex9z]

I've heard this can take you as high as 12 000-15 000 feet, pretty damn awesome for an STOL sports utility plane.

[deepskyfrontier]

If you'd be so kind to consider it, I'm wondering if- while you're in the "area"- you could attempt to photograph a particular rare and distinctive species of spruce. I should say, "exceedingly rare," though I wouldn't be surprised if you're already familiar with it, since you seem to have a way of getting to some pretty remote places. I won't waste your time with details unless you want to know more.

[TheWisey1234]

do you need a licence to fly these aircraft also how much are they

[grq7420mhl09]

@TheWisey1234

No you can just get in the pilot seat without any training and take it for a spin from your local airport

[timandrew1]

You sure THAT plane is only 100 horse? ...to do that?

[JJ388JAr]

you crazy mother fuckers! this is awesome, I'll be done my basic flight training by June, can't wait to get out there and get a bush job!

[GMSamuelRhine]

very nice. so your plane can take off in 200 feet too?

[plasmasoro]

@GMSamuelRhine no.. he landed there make a house and live there now

im not sure but i think the zenith is the "most" STOL plane.

[TheRicardosl]

[solarday]

[jpm1]

beautiful landscapes where is it

[Roudy1331]

Very impressive! Good work.

[youngestpilotinGa]

wow what a bad idea 

[cactuschris2002]

damn...............

[lordlozz1]

I guess it makes the whole thing alot easier when you have a plane with a very low stall speed.

[kelbymiller]

What is the make and model of that plane? And any specs if you could?

[gur2ys4me]

@kelbymiller That's the Zenith 701. You need about 90' or so to take off and land, less with any headwind at all. Cruises about 100 with the Rotax 100 HP. Stalls around 28 mph solo. Google Zenithair to learn more.

[Saberpride73]

at 1:12 you might have went over VNE.

[Roudy1331]

@Saberpride73 This guy is landing in remote areas on mountain top clearings that are the size of a postage stamp risking life and limb, not to mention his plane. I am thinking he isn't too concerned about Vne! LOL

[Roudy1331]

@Saberpride73 He did....

[amediastintas]

my kind of flying! great job!

[lordlozz1]

where is this?

[pilarcoco]

We'd rather not divulge where this is...

[lordlozz1]

are you drug running or something?

[pilarcoco]

@lordlozz1

Naw... the land owner might not approve if I ask.... "don't ask, don't tell" when flying in remote areas...

[gammin66]

@lordlozz1 lol



[tornadotomas]

@pilarcoco Why you rather not say?. Please tell us!.

[zcg3]

@lordlozz1 I'm not tellin'...
