near impossible bush plane landing

[Jtucker74]

Redneck Flyin'!! Way cool!!!

[dalebfast]

That's just awsome! Great skills. And a headwind!

"near impossible bush plane landing"

Not sure there is such a thing :)

[artistgmg]

He can land in a driveway

[VAJOWLES]

I landed on a bear once.

[fm111971]

@VAJOWLES well did you like it?..........hahahahha........­.just missing with ya man

[VAJOWLES]

@fm111971 Hhahaa, bear.... (big hairy gay dude).

[356butch]

These are great little planes! I've only had the opportunity to fly one a few times but you get the feeling that if the wind was right you could land it on the roof of your house.

[andgate2000]

Wind speed helps !!!!!!!!!!

[baggen44]

Luckily the wind direction wasn't 90° to the left or right. Man, that would be such a MAJOR annoyance. But from the looks of it it would not made much difference for these guys :)

[taticalguru]

Look up big rocks long props.

[taticalguru]

The first plane taking off is basically a super cub. The one landing is a experimental Maule with a m5 body and m7 wings with extended flaps. 180 hp with 90" prop I think.

[MrJohndl]

mmmm....gotta be at least a 20kt headwind I reckon.

[justforever96]

That's the first plane I ever saw with a set of Super Swamper tires on it! =)

So what kind of plane is it anyway? No one has said so yet.

[tradernorton05]

@justforever96

Its a Piper SuperCub

[ehemeyer25]

Must be a strong Headwind

[mrfarmerjimbob]

What the HELL kinda plane is that???? I once saw a

cherokee 140 land vertically at Minot, but there was a 50 mph wind blowing straight down the runway, he used max flaps. Had to dump the flaps,stick full forward and open throttle to taxi back.

[210482fmj]

if this was a normal aircraft landing wanting more speed would they compensate by using a higher airspeed to make up for the slow groundspeed

[jaxxkicutie]

teach these aircraft carrier pilots how to land like that and the navy could have tugs and not aircraft carriers lol

[Swissman81]

how many horsepowers do they have...or what is the trick to takeoff with like "walking-speed"..so impressive! CAN YOU TELL ME, what is needed for this? monster headwind and noting eaten for a month to get max. low weight?? :) would realy interesting me! Greeets

[hagb66184]

awesome

[jimmy34101]

so what sorty of distances are we talking here?

[QeXeQ]

i wanna sell drugs anywhere with that plane!!

[loiseinhorn1]

Valdez May-Day fly in. This was the 2009 event, correct? The winds that year were immaculate for the short takeoff and landing contest.

[turkogluturk81]

man...................

[FlyingTigerRy]

amazing

[gowill2]

really strong headwinds.

[SoCalDualSport]

I can't stop my car that quick.

[CaptainKorhonen]

@SoCalDualSport Even my bicycle takes longer to stop lol

[ChaniaGregorys]

VERY WELL

[Herman8901]

first vid ive seen with no dislikes

[5xls]

@Herman8901 Who could dislike? It's a thing of beauty!

[SenorSpode]

@Herman8901 Nobody dares to dislike this video! I love it!

[BlackWiiOwner2010]

Aren't some bush pilots really talented? It seems like they can touch down and stop on a dime!

[sky12066sed3]

Just great thanks

[sshukri0]

Anyone know where this event was held?

[brittcrowell]

well two different airplanes, but still nice flying by both pilots, whatever the headwind speed was, which didn't seem like much.

[iandenker]

@MoAferika Hes taking off and landing into a heavy headwind. These planes generate a lot of lift even at slow airspeed, so if you are flying into a wind that is blowing at 40mph and your plane can take off at 40-60, you dont need a lot of groundspeed/distance to take off or land.

[cmr17panama]

awesome

[jgwynne87]

who needs a choppa, get to the plane!

[hallo54521]

they land and take off in the wind

[dmontgomery1980]

Still that's an awesome sight! Y'all have amazing skill!

[TailwheelForrest]

I still think that it is not a STOL competition unless they compete at gross weight. Never have seen a bush pilot earning money while flying empty.

[wtfo21]

lots of engine..hp to weight ratio of some of these highly modified bush planes is ridiculous

[chrispop99]

@wtfo21 How does that help the landing ;-)

[MoAferika]

How is this possible?

[videoclipits]

@MoAferika Leprechauns and sometimes help from genies.
