We would like to give a shout-out and special "thank you" to the bear who was kind enough to film the landing and departure on that grass field, and then upload the footage to Matt so he could add it to this vlog!
Little bit of a crosswind inside the plane there.. and THEN goes and gets a milkshake! This was a fun one, and what a great view. Thanks for bringing us along!
He left him in Pocatello with no phone charger or clean pair of underwear, he was late picking him up and brought him breakfast of Ritz crackers...Pretty sure he crop dusted him also LOL...Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Him and Owen are REALLY close 😆
I don't think I have ever heard someone say "well thanks, that's very nice of you" with less enthusiasm than what Owen did LOL Also, has anyone noticed the two voices of Matt...one is his normal voice and then there is the lower, husky, somewhat bored com voice?
Regarding Indian Creek, the runway length can lead to a false sense of security. Indian Creek is known for having a mid-day heat inversion. It's like you get the gear up and then, ugh! It's like suddenly you can't climb for squat until you finally get out over the cooler air over the river then find yourself following the river to climb out. Despite its length Indian Creek is really an early morning, late evening airstrip, not to mention turbulence and cross winds start picking up around 11:00 as you discovered. The FBO'S will even shy away mid day flying come summer. Some of the most violent turbulence I've ever experienced was descending down Pistol Creek where it merges with the Middle Fork of the Salmon. It was so bad I went high pitch on the prop,, and lowered the gear. Even then it was chaos and we bagged it and diverted to McCall till late evening. Then never had so much as a ripple. Also a lot less terrifying for passengers prone to getting their rosary's out! The same applies even more so for Pistol Creek as there is a substantial mid field cross wind every day starting around lunch time. I grew up with my family having a cabin at Pistol Creek. My father and his partner in the cabin were both commercial airline pilots with West Coast Airlines starting in 1954. The Partner also owned the Beechcraft Dealership in Boise so we always had the latest model to fly. Partner also owned the Avis Dealership and several aeronautical companies. So growing up I had the opportunity to often fly with two professional pilots, what an education that was. My father was fanatical about center of gravity, gross weight, and density altitude. Our first Bonanza N521AD only had 185hp, and no turbo! Never saw dad or Partner fly past 10:00am in July or August.
If you have a camera system in your home with internet connectivity, some have the option of being able to turn on lights or other devices from an app on your phone. You can use this to open your hangar door if you want, from the app on your phone, and watch the door open with a camera pointed in that direction for confirmation.
G,day Matt from Sydney Australia. * Like the Stockman's chairs: remember if buy cushions to have ties, so they don't blow off!!!! * Smores: sweet. * Great short film. 😼🌴
I'm curious about airparks in general. You're up and flying by 5 or 6 in the morning. Being that it's also a residential community, does the airpark have any rules about how early (or late) you can be flying ? Great video BTW !
Move the door remote to the outside into a plastic box. We did that at the fire station then just added some wire in between the remote and door motor. Another tip - for 'nasty' smells - Vaseline to the tip of your nose (in between the openings). (Or a air pack) Had to help remove bodies more then once. (I know.. just passing on life experiences) Take care be safe. Spin
Hi Matt, would you recommend reading any background material or taking mountain flying instruction before attempting these Idaho backcountry strips? Or is it just basic common sense? I visited Johnson Creek and Krassel by car but haven't flown in yet.
@@patmack14 well, if she’s kind of new to flying they may have wanted her to have the front seat experience. But either way, he stranded Owen and took the girl home
Hello from a fellow “Matt” and hopefully future A36 owner. Really enjoy the videos and speaking of which, you may have been asked before but what is your video and audio setup? Editing software?
