I just saw this video posted on Youtube and thought I would share it with you guys. Some nice backcountry, short field, takeoff and landings in hi-performance planes. Mostly in Indonesia but i saw some Idaho stuff in there as well. Not the best audio quality or resolution, but still a quality video IMHO.
I have a lot of respect for the work these pilots do to help and serve others.
