    Some of this are mine, some from other friends I fly with and I filmed their flights, we learn from these, hope you too.

    Some very impressive flying skills are on display here. Certainly not for novices or nervous pilots. In my past, I was a crop sprayer, firebomber and Bush pilot on DC 3s. I found your video quite nostalgic. Thank you. I'm 76 now.

    Neat. Pops had a 1976-ish Bellanca Citabria at one time in his 40+ years of flying. It was used for towing gliders and for surveying his multiple timber falling jobs in Wa State. We made several landings at washed out road sections up by the Mt St Helens Volcano after it exploded. One landing on the old washed-out highway required some brush removal by both of us at the departure end, because space was at a minimum for take off. We cleared the end by a good bit, but it was still tight. After that Dad upgraded to a fresh Lycoming 235hp, instead of the 160hp that it came with, installed covertly by a very good mechanic and friend. No more short field takeoff worries. It jumped up then. Snap rolls were a definite improvement, just had to keep positive G's on the oil pan, or it made a HUGE mess under the cowl. The Skagit river has the Pink Salmon runs. Tried that once upon a time, We caught 2. Beautiful up that way. Gods Country.

  • @johnwood551
    @johnwood551 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    When I first started flying in Alaska ,I flew a Taylorcraft (65 hp) and it had no flaps .So you had to slip it to get into tight places.
    Really made a better pilot out of me . I love landing in off airport strips, sand or gravel bars, mtn sides etc. So much more fun that an airport.

    • @Mike_PSU_MSW
      @Mike_PSU_MSW 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Agreed @johnwood551 when I went from 180HP with flaps (PA-18) to 85HP without flaps (Champ on tundra tires) my energy management and slipping skills improved exponentially. A climb prop really helps too!

    Impressive. I used to fly my father's C185F all along the Mexican Gulf Coast, him usually landing on bare grass strips (we were cattle ranchers), plus a couple of times along the narrow sand bars along the coast. I would say he was close to your level of expertise (though not me, certainly). Usually no room for error too. Huge respect to you all. Hats off.

  • @FlyingWildAZ
    @FlyingWildAZ 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Damn! I hope the risk was worth the reward. Those were some pretty tight landing spots with zero margin for error. The Mooney pilot looked like he just stomped on the rudder pedal, was not really a forward slip, the wings remained level. Had it been he could have held all the way down to the last 6 inches of flare. You can see he floats for a good couple hundred feet which means excessive airspeed as he let off the rudder to get the airplane lined back up. Despite the technique he still shoved it into a tight strip successfully so kudos to him. Those other landings/takeoffs definitely put the pilot's skills on display there is no denying that.

    Great video. In Finland we a small airport called Jämi. It is fine airport and has a long new runway, but the old runway that was in use in the past is challenging. There is a steep uphill (or downhill) right in the middle of the runway. If you come against the uphill you can land before it but you have to keep up the speed that you can climb on top. If you take off on downhill direction, you have to make sure you don't get airborne too early when the runway suddenly disappears from under you. We landed on that old runway with my father during the eighties with Cherokee 160.

      ​@@kjacklesit appears you're right about the flaps but it makes no sense retracting flaps on short short final. I've never been in a Mooney much less flown one but it's strange to take out the flaps then in any plane you will get that sinking feeling real fast if you do so nose down to increase speed and all makes no sense to do that.

      A Mooney will float in ground effect more than just about any other plane. If you need to get one stopped in a hurry, you can retract flaps in the flare and it will touch down immediately. I've won a few spot landing competitions that way. ;-)

    • @kjackles
      @kjackles 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@hotprop92 those flaps are hydraulic and bleed up gently in about 4-6 secs under the air loads at low speed (if set correctly). He raised them in the flare so as to have them gently retract as the plane transitioned from ground effect to touchdown. This makes it possible to begin braking almost immediately. I’ve 20yrs and 1000+ in vintage Mooneys. Pretty typical technique.
