- Flying Utah backcountry in a Bearhawk Patrol bush plane. Surreal experience flying and exploring the many Utah backcountry air strips and country side. Mid May and hit it just right with virtually no bugs and cactuses blooming.
Note: For the best picture quality, play it in 1080. Hover the mouse over the video; click the small Gear wheel icon (Settings) at the bottom right of the picture; click Quality; and select 1080. Because I'm a newbie to CZcams, they won't necessarily give me the best quality vp09 codec for playback.
Cheers!
Thanks for watching! :)
Gear:
For video we used 4 GoPros. Hero 3 on the left strut; Hero4 under the end of the right wing; Hero5 on the tail; Hero7 handheld inside the cabin and misc. Prop filters were used on the Hero 3 & 7.
A Nikon D5 was used for still photography. Some of those shots are inserted into the video.
Flying machines are a wonderful way to see the country!
Such great music choice with the flying. I could watch this all day
Thanks much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing video!!! Just a the best plane and the best friend. That's all
Great flight. Thank you
Just stumbled on your video and have to say it was awesome!
Good show.
One of the most butyfull airplane trip I have seen on the net lately.
Well edited and amazing scenery
Thanks for shearing.
Safe landings
So very cool you guys get to do this, we Love the Moab area and have rv'd there the last couple of years, love swiming in that beautiful colorado river, but it's to late for me to start a new expensive hobby like flying in retirement, so I just have to settle for bush flying around beautiful Utah and the Moab area in my X-planes 11 Cessna, or dhc2 beaver, or whatever suits my fancy when I fire up the stimulator, lol. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Thanks Rick another great video!
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Another good one, this was in my back yard, I fly down there a lot from Heber City (KHCR)
One of my bucket list things to do. Great video.
Dandy video for sure. Nice. Great Inukshuk too. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Newfoundland. Never realized cacti were flowering plants until now. So I learned something.
...and thanks for watching. And greetings from MB too. Our licence plates say Friendly Manitoba but you Newfoundlanders are still one up on us. Visited and was so welcomed! Beautiful province; hope to return some day.
GREAT VIDEO! I flew off all the test hours in the original Bearhawk Patrol. There has never been a better bush plane. it has taken the 100 years of bush flying, answered all the questions with a totally modern design. GREAT PLANE! (Well, there is one better in my opinion. That's the original BEARHAWK. Same performance, but FOUR SEAT ROOM and excellent baggage area access).
Thank you; glad you enjoyed the video. Also great to read your opinion of the Patrol. I'm sure Curt will also reply once he's got time.
I have never been in the 4-seat design, as that plane did not fit my mission profile at the time I was shopping. That being said, I hope to get a ride in one some day (or perhaps the new Model 5 with the 580 Lycoming)
Beautiful plane, nice footage, and great landings (the ones you showed anyway)
Thanks a lot! Yes, not all landings are perfect but Curtis is an awesome pilot.
U guys are fun
👏👏👏💯👌
Awesome trip and great video editing!
Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice trip! Enjoying your adventures. It was good to meet you both and see the airplane at Bob's last year.
Yes it was a great trip and very nice to meet you as well.
Who are the super-pickers making that fanfuckintastic music? Where could I buy a recording? Those folks have a style I never heard before in my 76 years...
Glad you enjoyed the music. I subscribe to artlist.io/ for royalty free music to use in videos...without getting in trouble, lol. Thousands of songs to choose from. When selecting you can narrow down your search by genre, instruments, theme, etc, etc.
@@rickhiebert7352 Well, one thing is, we have the same taste in music. Thanks for the info. I like your video subject too. I did my military time in the 'airdale' branch of the Navy with an attack squadron and the A4 Skyhawk.
@@marlinknight5136 Thanks for watching; glad you enjoyed the video too. Thanks for your service!!!!
Next trip into the Mexican Mountain airstip, check out the plaque depicting the gun battle with Sheriff Tuttle and the outlaws, attached to a large sandstone rock just a little north(200 yards) from the petroglyph. Also Horse Thiefs trail just to the east and Sids Leap to the Southeast about a mile.
Thanks. We actually did come across the Tuttle plaque but not the Sids Leap. Nice to know.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Must have been early morning to take off towards the canyon at hidden splendor. We were the same time and once it warmed up was tough to climb.
We ran along the canyon/river and climbed out as we went. We had no issues at all, but some of that may be due to the climb performance of the Patrol. (Curt the pilot sent me this in order to reply as he's not near a computer for a few days)
Nice video. Beautiful trip you had. Really nice build! Im building a BH Patrol in Airdrie, near Calgary. Find me on the BH site and drop by if you come west.
Sounds great and thanks much!
I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing. Off to find those runways in FS2020. Which band did you have as background music?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Music - I subscribed to Artlist (royalty free music) and spent hours listening to tunes and made a list that were similar that I liked. Each song is probably a different artist...I've no idea, sorry.
How do you find these back country strips?
We did a lot of research and the very best information is in print form; books by Galen Hanselman. But here's a website that is quite helpful as well. utahbackcountrypilots.org/airstrips/map
@@rickhiebert7352 thanks!
Might want to edit the devil’s tower part out before the FAA sees it.... You flew much to close. Check your chart. Must stay 3nm away. You flew over the parking area that’s .2nm area away.
The actual FAA wording is "pilots are requested to avoid flights within 3 NM". Staying away is not mandatory.
Video editing lessons needed! As much as I love backcountry flying videos I could not sit through three minutes of this video. One simple reason: this video was edited with a pace of shot changes that forced me over and over again to abandon one majestic scene after another. This is because each shot changed just as I was settling into it. Flying low and slow over a sweeping landscape evokes a deep sense of grandeur. A quick moving series of sequence does injury to this experience in my opinion.
Good thing you’re entitled to your opinion
Leave NO trace. Don;t stack rocks and defintiely don;t make people out of them.
100s of square miles of jumbled rocks, not hurting a thing. Geez lighten up
Leave no trace? So, stacking rocks is a crime? Dude, you're an a**. I bet you haven't stepped foot out of your New York apartment, let alone ever been to the deserts of Utah. I grew up hiking slot canyons of Utah, and flying to these very same places enjoying the beauty of Canyonlands, etc. A few stacked rocks aren't anything in the grand scheme of things. Leaving trash and vandalism is a crime. These guys are cool, and I love their respect for nature and so you have no right to tell them what to do. Your comment is out of line!
Brothers, the drawings you made and others that are already there can be forged and liars use them as made thousands of years ago!!
