Masterpiece ! No other words !

If you can find a 30 or 40 mile an hour headwind you can have a helicopter

I think the 20 mph headwind helped that one out a bit. What was that a 10 ft ground roll? Wow.

Awesome!

Strong head wind. I want a Husky now!

I want one!

It's just a strong headwind bro, if anything it was safer.

I used to tow banners with a Husky. On a couple windy days, I was able to fly banner with almost zero ground speed...just hovered over the north end of the stadium. I thought it was cool. People who didn't know about planes told me it was frightening.

how on earth is that possible? amazing!

I would never have believed it if I never saw it. Fantastic! When I saw his last lift where he went straight up, I thought he was going to land on the same spot. lol None the less "BRAVO!"

That's why all the Bush pilots love the Husky!

Awesome pilot!

@fly912 Exactly! I race amateur autocross and have seen my fair share of nearly fatal accidents, but I do it anyway. It's that risk of danger that makes it worth doing!

@John19182004 You clearly don't have much experience with military pilots. It is not a statement to be taken seriously...

@jeffman3 I think you count as an idiot.

@John19182004 A good landing is any landing you can walk away from. A great landing, you can use the plane again. I think these all count as great landings...

Anyone think the wind has anything to do with this?

@John19182004 Still safer than driving

This is awesome I love STOL stuff.

Very nice, some pilots know how to use windspeed properly.

Great bit of flying! I applaud this pilot and his skills!

EXTREMELY UNSAFE.

I've been around the world twice....to two state fairs....and a goat roping.....and I've never seen anything like that. I learned over fifty years ago in J3, PA12 and PA18. Did some real short stuff....but that was just out of the ball park!

すげー　ｒｗいらんじゃん

I can just park it on my roof ....

@nestokes who needs a helicopter?

That thing was flippin HOVERING in that wind. That's awesome!

Pretty cool...

How much headwind you got there, cap?

With a 25-knot headwind, the stall speed in this configuration I'd guess has to be somewhere about 32 knots. The 2-engine STOL BN-2 Islander (9 passengers, 1 pilot) stalls at 39 knots in landing configuration. With over 3,500 hours on type plus another 1,000 hours or so on the Trislander (15 passengers) I can tell you that with experience comes the feeling that the airplane is strapped to your backside and not the other way around. I'd like to see the same flight test done with an Islander...

spettacolo!!!! è un elicottero!!! lo voglio!!

You're not fooling me. This is obviously a Sikorsky S-55 disguised to look like an airplane.

impressive for sure

Yes, tell us what the aprox wind speed was? We DO know the husky is a very capable STOL aircraft but it would be nice to know for our own exploration when flying. Thanks

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats all I have to say

That is BEAUTIFUL.

This is a stock Husky. There was a 25kt wind, but as you point out, the pilot is very skilled, with a lot of experience.

Bloody Amazing! Exceptional airmanship. I own a Christian Husky A1 and I sure can't fly it like this. Amazing what this bird can do in skilled hands. Inspiring and impressive! Is this a stock Husky or are there some STOL mods?

I fly here :) currently doing lessons and I am loving them!

Exactly. Why do you have to be a Jackoff and disagree with people stating obvious dangers of this ridiculous stunt

Incredibly dangerous, needlessly reckless flying - I hope that guys license was revoked.

I stand corrected it is a Husky. So now it stalls even slower than a cub.

definitely a husky

It's a piper cub for crying out loud and the head wind is insane you can hear it ! The Plane stalls at somewhere around 50mph. With wind that strong of course it can do these stunts.

Yeah you can. It's trippy but it's pretty cool.

I bet you could fly backwards if the headwind is strong enough!

that is sick. nice flyin.

the head wind is prob like 30 knots

that is insane

The headwind must be insane to actually get that kind of lift in a few feet. Still cool, though. Okay, now that I watched the whole vid you see it. Pretty cool
