OK, so maybe this isn't the long-form documentary I promised last year after releasing this teaser: • Video
Don't spark up your trombone just yet. This is 10 minutes of fun flying in the northern Nevada desert, following bush pilot Kevin Quinn and a small group into several makeshift airstrips that push the limits of aircraft performance and pilot judgement. It's also meant to give you an idea what the experience of camping on the playa is like with a large and diverse group of backcountry flying enthusiasts. All footage was shot in October 2013 during the fly-in weekend.
We've jokingly called it a "Burning Man" for airplane junkies, but it's got everything you care about: Bush planes, wide-open backcountry landing zones, campfires, guns, explosions, and a free t-shirt. And it's family friendly.

The STUPID MUSIC is enough to make me PUKE
Chill bruv
I don’t have a problem with it!
The music perfectly compliments the video. Go take a nap.
Pure awesome! Where do I sign up to fly with you guys!
This is great on all levels - amazing flying and brilliant film making!
Well done!
Just found your channel. There is nothing better than camping and flying airplanes around. Amazing work here, look forward to more videos like this from you.
Thank you very much, I enjoy your channel as well!
I don't know how many times I have watched this or shown it to someone. Love it!!
steveo1kinevo, flightchops, and backcountry pilot, you're the best aviation youtuber. this video is so well done. keep on giving us some beatifull film like this one. cheers from france
Of all the videos that captured the previous and later high sierra's, this video best exemplifies the real essence of the adventure of comradely of the experience. That has been diluted somewhat by the popularization of the event over the last few years.
Enjoyed this! That near head-on was a bit spooky, as was the big bouncer at the 9000+ altitude spot. The timelapse and RC multicopter footage were sweet additions too. You've got a great touch selecting and editing to the music.
Absolutely gorgeous...
Love the night shots...looks like nobody slept. Fun. I have a drone that I've not flown yet... Looks like a good mix of documenting a trip.
Sold my PA-22, and just bought a Supercub 150 CUBBY (Wag Aero) and love it. Great photography. Highest I've ever had the controls was 13,000 feet to cross Wolf Creek Pass with 2000' to spare in TriPacer.
I really thought 321TL was going to roll up into a ball! Wow that was way too close to being a mess for my taste.
I love the stories you tell in your videos
Dude, I could watch hours and hours of that stuff! Great flying and awesome footage.
Your best work yet...great footage and music/commentary. Always look fwd to your vids. Cheers Gary (Australia).
You are such a good film maker and writer. Love all your AV videos!
Wow ! Great documentary, feels like I am there. Like the drone work, making coffee in the morning, the different airplanes etc.
Keep up the good work.
Spectacular.
Kevin Quinn, genius pilot!
this is studio production quality. Nice Job! Bush flying is real flying.
Wow, amazing once again ! Great work ! Respect from France
Loved it!!!
This is just amazing. Brilliantly shot, well done! Man, what I'd give to be part of that adventure.
You are really good at shooting and producing your videos Mate! Thanks for sharing!
Love this!
Awesome video! Excellent edit!!
Brilliant!
Awesome images and edit
The Maule was determined to get itself landed. Pretty good little plane.
Love the drone shot at 7:00.
Great video! More!
Super cool!
Omg bit of a sphincter moment from 8:14 - 8:22. Very cool. Thanks for the video!
"Pushing the limits of what is landable." Is that really good ADM?
It is not. Haha.
AMAZING GUYS!
You guys are awesome, really living the dream! Wish I could some day be a proud owner of a capable beast like those and join in those crazy voyages.
In the mean time, I watch your videos with great appreciation and envyness, trying to imagine a rental C172 or P28 landing there.
You truly inspired me to open up my horizons as a pilot.
Beautiful footage, cool planes cool places. at 9:57 there's a Lake amphibian in a quick pan - last thing I expected to see!
Excellent Video
Great gathering, and great video......
amazing short film. good job. congrats.
j'adore
love it
Way cool! 👍🏼
I definitely would love to join in some time! Great video! Nicely put together!
Looking forward to taking some lessons from you!👍🏼👍🏼
awesome!!!! great video!!!! gotta get my ticket asap... keep doing this kind of vid please...
Very cool
The good old days.
It was a magical time.
awesome video
Sweet vid
I would absolutely watch a feature film of this. You should call some of the IMAX guys at Giant Screens Cinema Association to tag along!
great song
One of the best vids around:-) The guy landing the Maul must have a spare pair of undies !:-)
Awesome video! I hope I can be a pilot some day!
hahahaha yesss diggin the kings of convenience!
Excellent!:-) Am jealous, makes me wanna get something better than my Citabria:-)
That looks like an aircraft showroom...all clean and shiny, no duct tape. Greetings from Alaska.
xevnoc Just returned from Alaska. Saw lots of clean and shiny airplanes. They're inside the hangars. 😎
Sounds like someone is hanging out with the fancy city folks :)
Thanks for all the great work you do. Your videos are top notch and do an amazing job of capturing the experience and hopefully sparking that interest that keeps GA alive. You have saved me so much money investing in camera equipment, and so much time investing in learning how to shoot video that someone would actually want to watch!
xevnoc we'll see if you're still of that opinion when the next video comes out. 😄
@6:47, is that a Cessna? Also, I see two blade props and 3 blade props. What are the reasons/benefits of choosing one over the other? AWESOME video btw!
Try landing a 185 tail dragger on skis or beaver on our glaciers here in Alaska, or a cub on our wilderness mountains,etc...and wilderness gravel bars and dealing with our weather and remoteness! Get it???
6:08 how circle runways will work....
8:10…oh shit!!!
dude your narration voice is awesome!
Thanks, that's nice. I'd say about 40% of people hate it.
Haha no way man it's awesome... I even like the super subtle puns and how you changed your voice in the one Canada video to be like "Kay needa"...lmao... i have been binge watching your videos all night... Just found out about you yesterday...
I have a love of flying, never got the chance to finish getting my license (started classes back in the day).. But couldn't afford it after the 2008 recession (sighs).
Small, ultralight, bush planes are my favorite... well, after Autogyros of course. Nothing beats an autogyro imho
I think I've seen the silver and blue Cessna at 0:42 at the Chicken Strip before. You guys are so lucky.
That guy is from Colorado, but I'm not sure he owns that airplane anymore. I do know of a much nicer-looking polished/blue 170B that frequents the Chicken Strip.
Hello. nice, very very nice!
What is that music at 4:30.
8:10 that’s why i prefer tricycle over classic gear.
Maules just have stiff main gear.
Would love to join in sometime.
Stumps of death
Wow that Maule landing was fucked up... Close to an accident
I definitely need to start getting out of California...
What happened to your older carbon cub videos?!?
it is the trucker hat flying band ? lol
site is not available
Wow it was a bit smaller back then lol
Is that a glow plug igniter for a RC plane engine at 1:06?!
Ha! Similar. It's a piezoelectric igniter purpose-built for campstoves which creates an actual spark. I think RC glow plug chargers are just a battery-powered device that run a current through the glow plug resistor to get it hot.
Backcountry Pilot That's pretty much it. A more expensive cigarette lighter as far as how it works.
Great video of course too. Always wanted to fly with Quinn too. Seems to be one hell of a pilot.
creative cinematography/editing bro. You should make videos for Rolls Royce or something.
Please give them my contact info
That maule at 8:00 was sketch
this video is not available in my country :(

Backcountry Pilot thanks a lot! though the newest video on vimeo is the 7 days on the range video from minesota :(
That is the newest. High Sierra is 2 years old. Keep scrolling.
Backcountry Pilot I found it, thanks a lot! love your channel!
Absolutely an awesome stunning piece!. As someone who is trying to get into this field, I appreciate your work from all angles. I love the choice of music. Also, the camera work is superb. I can appreciate all of the different camera slider shots, time-lapse and especially the drone shots. What cameras do you guys use? You guys have it made out there in the west! So many places to fly. Again...beautiful work gentlemen! Joe Czachorowski. zackair.com
Hmm, where's Trent Palmer
This was in 2013.
Or you could play golf...
You all haven’t seen “real backcountry flying” until you have flown “real bushflying here in awesome Alaska! The only pure,bush pilots left, simple!
I guess a guy can dream, eh? Maybe some day. 😉
Great video. One suggestion, your narrator voice sounds like you are trying to talk a child into having a bowel movement. Really creepy. Maybe consider changing that. Other than that it is a very good video and I hope to be enjoying backcountry flying once I get some good hours under my belt.
APPLEiShank you shit your pants, didn't you?
Shanky! Your a genius! I was flying over MGW if you know what I mean. I tried everything, nothing seemed to relieve my payload. After I saw your comment I decided to take my iPad into the sanctum and let Zane's silky, mellifluous, soothing high fiber vocal stylings do the work my reluctant chiterlings have been refusing to do. Let's just say iPOOD!
