WILD Florida Airstrip - Challenging Little Runway 

That was cool. That is an interesting little grass strip. I miss the day's when we had a pilots club in my area, and use to have the pancake breakfast fly in's a couple times a year.

The Mooney seemed to have a bit of an adventure trying to climb out.

Looks like alot of fun! Nicely done! Thanks for taking us along!

I love that tri-pacer haven't seen one of those for a long time

Love the way she’s got both of you dressed up nice for the fly on, similar shirts,

Even more challenging than Weirsdale from the other video. Thanks for posting!

Super chilled video! Love the aircraft, the grass strip, all the footage, thanks for sharing! Wish I had a home near an airfield like that!

Florida is the place to be 👌 Awesome video, folks G'day from Sydney You got a new subscriber 👊

The Mooney is beautiful!!!

Took off at night at Mineral Wells, TX (KMWL), and when I was 15 ft AGL, I flew right over a bunch of deer crossing the runway. I nearly bought it in a shower of venison.

I'm in Wyoming. I was warned by tower of a small herd of tumbleweeds crossing the runway.

Tortoise One! Hahaha It looks fun and warm. Great video!

Great video! Thanks

I'm no pilot but that was a fast landing.

That is a giant runway for a Kitfox. I used to fly mine to model airplane fields.

Love the Turtle! 🐢 😅

Nice paint job on your plane, btw.

Thanks, great vid!

Has Jimmy from Jimmy's world ever flown in and out of this airstrip ? Jimmy's a Great guy 🤠

Hey, great videos and it’s nice seeing the place I did my training at. 1 year ago today I soloed at Apopka in N577TU the white and yellow Tecnam p92 on the easy side 15 lol

ahhh a Homedale Special at 6:55 (As in Homedale ID.)

Do you have a 360 camera on the left wing? Nice flight 2222V

Cool!

Caution for wake turbulence behind the departing tortoise.

Very nice video. I fly rc planes and helicopter's off to the left of where you landed at that strip

The irony of flying an RV-12 in / out of a 3,000’ runway and describing it as “sporty” and “challenging” while looking at a Queen Air that requires 3x the runway. Still a fun video to watch nonetheless

Marion county represent, treetop flyers everywhere

The only plane I was interested in seeing taking off from the grass runway was that Queen Air...

Hey any idea if they will be doing this again this year? Cannot seem to find contact info email anywhere> Called Thomas the owner/mananger but have not heard back?? Thanks

#92👍👏👏Thanks! Cute place! ERAU 80 CFIA&I ret

Hey every video ur amazing wife is less paniced! I call that a mega win.

Wow,,,,, started the video out with a "shell" game!

That was cool. What was that "code-word" Redemption at the end between the two of you. Safe Landing? Mission Accomplished? Nice presentation.

How many incidents has that airport had? Lots of bushy pilot behaviors there are going to cause problems.

COOL

Tortus said Wilco 😝

Cool air strip. I don’t think I would like to be in the houses at the end of the runway.

Ever visit Jimmy's World at Plant City Airport? That would be epic!

What if you have a tortoise on the runway when you're landing at night ???

how do you find out about these meet ups?

ALWAYS a crosswind at Apopka...

What camera do u hv on the wing?

I've actually seen shorter airstrips in Alaska.

Better than removing a aligator from the runway.

I think I would rather fly a helicopter in and out of that airstrip. It's like someone planted those trees at the end of the runway to make it more challenging.

41 times more likely to die in auto than small plane 😮

What be the turtles intentions?

Looks like a fun challenge! But the wide angle distortion on the wingtip camera made it f Look like you were flying sideways when fence lines and such were going past you. Wierd illusion!

@FloridaFlying >>> 👍👍

Ich fliege mit der Walküre

you been down to arcadia for taco tuesday ?

Taxi ends at 1:26.

I wouldn't trust any small plane? 💥💀

I am trying to get my wife to fly with me in our Ercoupe. She doesn't like little planes.

Where in Florida is this airstrip???

You grip on the stick seems too tight

she seems bored

Your plane is little anyway.

I don't mean any disrespect at all, but when your wife mentioned keeping her dress tucked on takeoff, and then said "we got off really nicely", that made this video LMAO

Should be no challenge at all for you if you would just learn to slow down on approach to the speed you you should be using in an RV-12. Couldn't read the ASI in the video but I would guess you were somewhere around 70 kts, maybe even a bit more. If you would be starting the round-out to flair at about 50 kts you would only use 1/4 of the 3000 ' runway (at the most) instead of 3/4 ths of it. I enjoy your videos, but would enjoy them even more if you should a bit less of what NOT to do.

Challenging??? Hmmmm....Don't try mine.
