I have a little video to share for you BCP's to watch! It's a landing and takeoff from a mountain!

Excellent !

Looks like fun! Is that the Salt Lake valley or Spanish Fork area?

I'm traveling without a laptop and only have a tablet. Unfortunately, the poster didn't make this video available for viewing on mobile devices. I guess I'll check it out when I get home.

Well, you know he's flying that big ag plane with the tundra tires, and the GoPro is mounted on the left wing, so the nose of the airplane blocks the view to the right. So we see him approaching this somewhat barren top which isn't very long, but he touches down with aplomb and stops before falling off the other side. Then he spins it around to take off, and there is this babe wearing somewhat scanty apparel who was just out of camera range during the approach---looks a lot like EZ Flap's avatar girl, only with more skin showing.........

You don't believe me????

That's usually not the uploader's choice. It's the copyright owner of the music that YouTube identified on the video who disallows mobile availability by default.

I finally got to my desktop and was able to enjoy both the video and the music. Great imagery and sound! The first time doing something like this has to be a real pucker!

It's weird that the owner of the music copyright discriminates between mobile and desktop versions for playback. That's just one of many things I don't understand as our lives become more digital. Fortunately, I still fly in the physical world and that experience is consistently great!

Blackrock: You have the area right!

Cary: You have a good imagination! It must have been the pretty woman's voice in the song!

Flyhound: I checked it out with my I-phone and had the same problem. I think Zzz has a good explanation for it!
I am going to research it some more! I really enjoy this kind of flying when the conditions are right! Having the right equipment and
the knowledge and experience on how to use it, goes a long ways with this type of flying!

Much MoJo there...

That was Cool!

Looks like a Pawnee or callair from pictures /video . Back in the 60s we had "soft field" tires very similar to today's "Alaska bushwheel" very low pressure - but a big footprint . Great for landing off paved surfaces but susspeptable to damage if hitting sharp objects .
