This one has a little bit of everything, in-flight, drone, and ground shot footage. I also used music that would not ban the video in certain countries so everyone should be able to watch.

Flying the Buckeye Backcountry with the OBP.

I went to pick up Mr Swingle at his house after he had to leave his plane at the RAF Trail stop at Swank Field in Butler, Ohio. We then met up with everyone, ate lunch, and then went out in search of gravel bars. As you can see, we found them. And in excellent condition I might add!

Puts a smile on my face watching you fly that 182 so well!

You get my vote for best dynamic proactive elevator movement on both takeoff and landing.

Well now- That makes two excellent shows two days in a rowm

Thanks fellas. I sure do love flying this ol' bird. I continue to be impressed with the performance of a straight tail 182. Making the videos is a lot of fun too.

I just returned from a last minute rescue mission to Florida to evacuate some family from Irma. I made it down and back in 15.5 hours. If we would have not had to stop for potty breaks I could have made it from Boca Raton to my house in southeast Ohio in one fuel stop. Not bad legs for an airplane that can comfortably operate in and out of a 1000ft grass runway.

I feel the same about my 182, keeps amazing me, can go play in gravel bars and short strips, but also flew it all the way from Costa Rica to Seattle last year , and a month ago loaded a couple of Mt bikes and flew with a friend to Lake Tahoe in 4.5 hrs from Seattle for a week of riding.
As everyone knows 182s are not the best at anything, but can do a lot, I have never flown a straight tail, but looks better suited for the backcountry than the swept tail wider ones.
They are lighter, and have more ground clearance , dont know how they handle compared to the swept tail models.
Yours looks nice.
Keep the good flying.

Definitely like the video and your plane is cool too with the bigger tires.

Loved it! Great video!

Thanks. I really enjoy your flying and videos as well. I have never flown a later model 182, but they appear to be just as capable, as demonstrated in your videos.

I opted for the straight tail because I prefer the looks, and the lighter weight of the earlier straight tail models. I chose a 57, but truth be told a B model would have been my preferred choice because of the instrument panel layout. Either way, I'm pretty happy!
