Wakashi Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Fairly short hop from I08 to U72 (Upper Loon Creek) Challis ID, a USFS airstrip. 33 nm straight flight but my flight was 43 nm due to climb out of valley and following valley's. Piper Pacer Tundra my plane of choice for small strips, Adam's PTA preset, Rex Soft Clouds, FltPlanGo. Nice little flight set in spring (so the airport would not be covered in snow) 1400 hrs, except I changed the time to late evening on the last shot to get the sunset colors. Enjoy, I did. For those not familiar with bush flying, this website https://backcountrypilot.org/ sure seems to me to give some decent instruction on STOL take offs and landings in the back country for various planes. Several nice instructional videos plus lots more! 1.Just cleared the mountains after leaving I08 Cabin Creek USFS airport Idaho 2. Headed south and east over the Payette National Forest 3. Slipping down into the valley to follow Loon Creek to the airport 4. Airport U71 ahead, elevation 5500' 5. Down safely, changed the time for the sunset colors (hope you don't mind) FltPlanGo app map of route with sectional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we have a real Bush Pilot in the making! Welcome! Well, I don’t know about the Bush Pilot part (more like a Brush Hog)! Yeah that little Piper Pacer PA-20 is fun although a little under powered for my taste.
