We need a fly-in here!

We seriously need our next fly in based out of this place. My buddy has been telling me for years that I need to come down and land on his 800 acres. Its just over an hour from my base but man what a place! 4 different hot springs at various temps, a beautiful view and more places to land close by than one could count. Its just on the out skirts of our south circuit with everything we would need. Check it out...

Re: We need a fly-in here!

Wow. Even I could land in 800 acres. Is this all the way up in Alaska?

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.
