Trike Flying Arizona - "Fields and Desert" (HD)
Loading...
Uploaded by edobeirne on Apr 9, 2009
We flew 220 miles from Phoenix, Arizona to the Imperial Sand Dunes of southeastern California. The flight lasted from sunrise to about 3pm. We flew from our home field Pleasant Valley airfield over the beautiful Sonoran desert, past the White Tank Mountains, via Gila Bend airport, over a vast stretch of alfalfa fields, to the low desert, to Yuma (where we stopped for lunch), and then to the dunes. The weather was great, although windy at times. The ground vehicles were mostly doing the "sand drag races" at the dunes. Other aircraft: notice the cropduster flying beneath halfway through, and my friend Chris flying our friend Kurt's plane throughout. Aircraft: Air Creation Buggy with Kiss 13m wing. Camera: Sony PC 110 with .42 wide angle. Conditions: calm to 15mph wind (we trailered home to 20mph headwinds). Altitude: 2-1000' AGL. One of the best rides of my life.

I NEVER get tired of watching this. I am in the aviation field now and was a helicopter crewchief in the Army but this presentation always brings joy to my heart. Fly on!

@sgtortiz641 Thanks man! Yep, it brings the best parts of fixed wing and helicopter (low, slow, precision flying, short but not vertical landing and takeoff) for 5% of the expense. Get yourself a ride! Let me know if you're ever in Phoenix.

Great but pricey toy

@kostasssism But $18,000 isn't bad for an airplane. And it burns car gas.

Nice mix of flight and music. Whatever happened to John Kemmeries? I fly an AC Racer here in Grand Junction.

@3321MDZ Thanks! John and Julie moved up to Rimrock (near Sedona) Arizona a few years ago when the light sport stuff came around. We miss them. There are only 3 of us trikers at Pleasant Valley at the moment.
