Show me a picture of your favorite "hard core" mountain landing and takeoff spot's with you and or your airplane in it!
This is one of my favorite Mountain Landing and Takeoff Spot's on a side of a 10,600 ft. mountain with about a 35% slope, with rocks and sage brush in Utah.The picture you are looking at in the post is showing you the "Yellowhawk" the name of the airplane, parked on top of a Mountain ridge top which drops off about 30 ft. in front of and right behind the airplane. When you click on the pictures below:The first picture is showing you the view looking up the ridge from the touch down/landing spot with the airplane about 100 yards or so up the ridge out of site. And the second picture is showing the side view of the touch down/landing spot.

Doesn't look to tough to me

I have been there twice. Once in a Muskateer.

I don't see an issue.

Hey, this is my kind of thread. Here's a landing I made with the Mooney on a 300' one way strip at 10450' in the Rockies.

Here's one of me landing on Sheep Sh%t Ridge, NV into a 60 knot headwind. Rollout was backwards. No sheep were harmed in this endeavor.

I'm not seeing any photos on any of the posts in this thread. How can I fix that?

Working fine for me. Get a hold of Zane to see what is up.

Tim

You get an imagination and a sense of sarcasm.

This one time... I was landing on the icepack out by Point Hope, in the winter during a blizzard. And almost ran over a polar bear.

That might help but I'd rather see the real thing! Sometimes that's better than imagination or at least more accurate.

Hell, taking a jab by us is a bunch easier than posting a picture on this site
Shit, a tax audit is less painful than attaching a picture on this site!

Zane is a sadistic @#$%

We've all been there! Stay tough!
