June 10, 20205 yr Stand by when he decides to get out of there. Best bet is to remove the wings and haul it out on a flat bed. James M Driskell, Maj USMC (Ret)

A real Pilot would have made that landing with no flaps. One thing for sure. If he were living in Texas he would have the biggest belt buckle in the state...LOL! Man I would be afraid to even walk down that "runway".....never wanted to be anywhere on this earth that bad!!!

June 10, 20205 yr I'd think twice at putting a chopper down in there, let alone a fixed wing aeroplane. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
June 11, 20205 yr He’s done that a few times before, that’s for sure. The landing gear is taking a fair beating also. In “Lycoming We Trust” above those tree tops 🙂 Latest video at The Flight Level Flight Over Frozen Lake Erie - Between Ice and Clouds - Ultimate Solitude - The Perfect Memory

However, on the plus side, no DEA pilots are prepared to fly where he goes, so if he takes off and goes to another airstrip, they'll have to chase him on horseback. Of course taking off is going to be the hard part, because that first row of trees he went between on the landing took three feet off each wingtip.

June 11, 20205 yr I know the video wasn't the best quality, but the fact that he could spot the strip from the air, let alone land on it!! WOW! Yes, I want to see a takeoff from there!! 😎 14 hours ago, Chock said: I'd think twice at putting a chopper down in there, let alone a fixed wing aeroplane.

June 11, 20205 yr I recommend the book, "My Heart Is Africa: Three Years with the Flying Doctors" by Scott Griffin for real life adventures flying into undeveloped airstrips that must be similar to the road the guy above landed on. In fact, the book is a very interesting read about a doctor who flew his Cessna 185 solo from Canada to Kenya. James M Driskell, Maj USMC (Ret)

Fairly narrow field of view in the video and I really can’t see anything other than trees. I assume there are visual cues from something other than trees if we had a wider field of view and from a higher altitude. If that was any part of a normal circuit it appears that we see the last bit of base to a very short final. As Jethro said, 3 minutes to unload or load contraband and then we’re out of here.
