Roger...can't even drive at night anymore...detached retina...myopic so bad that even that fancy surgery won't correct it...and diabetic retinopathy...But, I can dream...I am envious of anyone who can fly the skies!

@AINGELPROJECT667 They are all terrain tires that dont sink into the soft tundra and cause the plane to flip. Low pressure with lots of surface area.

@wanderfurther and these planes are somewhat cheaper than helicopters xD

I'd love to see a good pilot in a stock Zenith STOL CH 701 (with 100-hp and tricycle gear) in this competition. While it may not win (every time) it would be a good comparative demo of the Zenair "Sky Jeep" light sport utility kitplane.

@AINGELPROJECT667 Because they are bush planes made to service and resupply remote locations, many times with short unpaved rough runways, making STOL necessary in the first place. These large tires allow it to land "off-road" if you will.
