Great job everyone! Some better🥴. All walked away! I’d love a video from inside an airplane, landing and takeoff. In 55 years flying, I’ve only landed twice, at airports similarly challenging. I’m amazed at bush piloting and these mountainous airports you guys go into. 👍🏻. I’m in Florida, so flat lander.
Efff that. No way. I'd freak. I can't even fly on a 737 without thinking there's a very good chance I'm going to die. Great landings though! I love these videos. 😊
We camped for years at this site and for years it had a big 'X' on both thresholds. One time a couple very early RV's landed and one of pilots was quite concerned that they had landed on a closed strip and all quickly took off. The strip was in pretty rough shape back then. We would bath in the glacier fed White River. Brrrr!!!
I don’t understand why you would do a maximum effort approach when you don’t need to, a stabilised approach with a couple of extra knots will allow for the wind gradients commonly experienced around trees, that first approach in the 172 was just taking dumb risks that didn’t need to taken and could have ended badly.
Some quartering winds and possible eddies but hardly any energy to talk about 5 to 8 mph possibly, some pilots were certainly at the edge of their ability, you always keep your AOA in check!, establish yourself on short finals with plenty of power in and around 10 knots of reserve speed approaching the threshold, you can quickly bleed the speed, personally it would have been a flapless approach for me, there is a lot to be said for cleaning the aeroplane up the moment the landing is made, on the ground flaps are not your friend especially in gnarly winds.
Corsair marine 1/2 .visite fonctionnelle explicative très très good machine good. Une histoire d amour mécanique. M'y in France. M'y dispose maximum 10000€ for investissement in machine. Machine corsair good 😊😊😊😊

What amazing place to fly !!
That last RV almost lost his nose wheel!

Oh snap! Patches' nose wheel shimmy at the end. Wow
Good videos, better without the music.
Really cool stuff!!

The music is a bit misplaced.
I thought the one around 3:20 was going to go around
Falling leaf on final. More courage than I'll ever have.
Pretty klew looking spot How long is the strip?
Are the winds different at different parts of runways? Seems like tailwinds for those rvs

Lots of struggling to land, wind sock is just sagging.

Thats a sketchy runway
That is not a "sketchy" runway! Any paved mountain runway is a figurative yellow brick road.
All airplanes nice lined up to be hit by an airplane that's out of control.....
