Heck, I'd be up for that if the time/weather/life/etc lines up...

Windshield's clean, tires aren't flat...maybe it's being flown and that's just how it looks. It's a 1973 model... go find some person that's been left out in the weather for 40 years and see what they look like.

Ha! Funny thing is I've been left out in the weather for 50+ years and I don't look 1/2 that good, but I still function (Mostly). Hopefully she still is flying.

Hey Crzyivan13, we will be down your way - Schnecksville - for a few days over thanksgiving. Probably driving, but we may fly down. Would enjoy meeting you if you are going to be around.

Let me know when you are coming down. If I'm in the area we can get together for sure!

I'll Pm you when we know what days we will be there. Bennett's Field in North Creek (5 minutes from my house) 0NY0 is where we keep the planes in the summer. 3,000' grass. Typically we need to move them late November. They don't plow it in the winter. Frank is in Schroon lake for the winter 4B7 and I am in Argyle 1C3.

Thanks Brian! Hope we can meet up soon and do some flying.

Some pics from my Instagram feed @offairportgear. I also included the captions and #hashtags from the posts. There are so many great people posting pics of backcountry flying on Instagram. There is no reason to not be on it!

A takeoff earlier this year captured by @offairport at his home strip. #savagecub #airplane #bushplane #offairportgear #brushpilot #backcountrypilot #akbushwheels #takeoff #liftoff #tailwheel #tailwheelsforlife #taildraggers #rans #ranss7 #grassstrip #aviation #country #countrylife #flight

The #underrated #Piper #Pacer. This one is set up with a #Macauley #borer prop and 31" #akbushwheels. This setup flown by the right pilot can yield performance similar to a #supercub. All in a four seat package. Most guys remove the backseat and fly it like a two place with big baggage. This one belonged to #ohiobushplanes own Rollie V. #backcountrypilot #bushpilot #birdsofthebush #offairportgear #country #aviation #countrylife #bigtires #longprop #taildraggers #tailwheelsforlife #tailwheel

Just shot you a PM

I have been a little slack in posting in my little thread here.

I flew a bit last fall with our own Milford Sound in his Maule. He introduced me to some new fun spots in eastern PA and even western NJ. Maybe one of theses days I will post a video.

This little strip is sweet.


Checking out the snow at Blue Mountain


Getting a little right seat M5 time on an undisclosed river run

Some shots from my own flying in eastern PA







This was my first off airport landing in this part of the world. At a friends house in his field.

Is this your way of trying to get Zane to implement hashtags?

That's not exactly how I remember it.

I thought it was more like this:

I am FINALLY going to start working on my Idaho trip video after nearly two years. Its hard to believe it has been that long.

Heres a little clip from Mountain Matt's arrival to Garden Valley in his beloved Skywagon.
