  • Bloody Amazing! Exceptional airmanship. I own a Christian Husky A1 and I sure can't fly it like this. Amazing what this bird can do in skilled hands. Inspiring and impressive! Is this a stock Husky or are there some STOL mods?

  • This is a stock Husky. There was a 25kt wind, but as you point out, the pilot is very skilled, with a lot of experience.

  • Not unsafe at all , very good pilot flying a very good plane with exceptional slow speed performance with a powerful responsive engine.

  • Someone posted that this is dangerous and the pilot should have their licence pulled. STOL serves a practical purpose and this isn't dangerous for an experienced pilot. They're operating on the edge of performance but it's a skill you need for flying into rugged terrain.

  • @nestokes who needs a helicopter?

  • @John19182004 A good landing is any landing you can walk away from. A great landing, you can use the plane again. I think these all count as great landings...

  • Anyone think the wind has anything to do with this? 

  • @John19182004 Still safer than driving

  • with that wind and that plane any pilot can do it

  • This is awesome I love STOL stuff.

  • Very nice, some pilots know how to use windspeed properly.

  • Great bit of flying! I applaud this pilot and his skills!

  • That would awesome to add the MAckey leading edge droop slats!

  • @John19182004 I suppose in your opinion anything off the couch is unsafe? Racing (a dangerous/unsafe sport) anything other than a lazyboy would also be out of the question. Of course it is unsafe! If it was 100% safe then everyone would be doing it and you would have no reason to be looking for this video or commenting on it. John, thanks for stating the obvious, although you did put a little incorrect and unnecessary emphasis.

  • EXTREMELY UNSAFE.
