Hello Backcountry Pilots,
This is my first attempt at a youtube video. I don't know how to edit for time, so it takes over a minute before my airplane even moves. Anyway looking forward to some spring sunshine to get the grass to grow on my runway.

The faster I go , the farther behind I get.
Looks like a fun approach!

Hey Joey,
The approach is a "ball-breaker", and a real good rate of climb is required too. Its kind of like an aircraft carrier landing. The more I land there the more routine it gets. After the neighbor's cottonwood trees (80 foot weeds) get some leaves on them will make them more visible and safer. Look me or Chadd up if you fly up this summer.

James,
You've done a whale of a job on your strip, looks first class! I'll give you a call and head up your way one of these days. I've been spending allot of time in the canyon lately and it's been gorgeous down there.
Good Work Fellow!
Cheers,
Bill
