I think it's a couple of boys that got their 152 tangled up in a hi-line and are now attempting to avoid electrocution as they disembark the craft! Anywho, just something I found online and thought was funny! Anybody doing any backcountry flying throughout the lonestar state? I'm sure interested in trying to get into a little. My bonanza isn't the ideal bush plane, but can handle any strip in reasonable condition as long as it is 1500-2000 ft long!


I like that attitude!

That's what keeping aviation fun is all about; attitude!! If you find yourself not liking the airplane you are in because it won't do EVERYTHING you dream up, it's highly unlikely that you will be happy with the next one!

Vaca Moo Airpark TA37 near Canton Texas. A very nice strip, call Carlos Rodriguez (903) 980-8060. He just wants you to call once, so he can give you frequency and warning. There is a power line to the east of the runway and one to the north. Really no issue just need to be aware. He’s even building som camp sites.
