"That's a great landing spot"
The landing spot: *Side of a mountain*
As a former private pilot, I both salute your skills and the capabilies of your aircraft.
Thanks for this nice video.
Former? Did you get your license revoked or something?
@@d.n.3652 No, I just stopped flying because I had other projects. I ain't no millionaire you know, so I had to reallocate my income.
Now I know where all those weird marks on the mountaintops come from. Never would have guessed.
Here I always thought they were from aliens! This makes more sense.
Amazing pilot! He landed and took off without the tail wheel touching the ground.
Yeah that's for sure, but technically 1:10 ;) it did touch at landing. after that though "Legendary stuff".
@@brycering5989 don't be that guy
@@cwr8618 -He said he broke tail wheel once, didn't want to break it again?
@@blogengeezer4507 i meant, don't be the guy to point out a tiny ass detail that the dude barely touched down. why make that comment, then congratulate the dude.
@@cwr8618 looks like you're also "being that guy"
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this video, Steve, this video never gets old!
Lands like a rotor craft takes off like a hang glider. Overall pretty crafty flying!!!
That is some ridiculously fun flying to watch! I'm training in a Bushmaster Ultralight here in Alberta. You've just given me a whole other level to shoot for. Great flying and great video! Can't wait to see when you land on that peak.
Who needs a helicopter when you can fly like that !!
Yeh men......
Can you use it as an ambulance tho?
@@bestcity0979 In the past when there were no helicopters, they did emergency rescues in the mountains with such small planes

"You need a helicopter to land there". "Nah, you just need Steve in his SuperSTOL"
So many far away fishing spots . . . . A pan, butter, salt, spices, a nice trout, some good coffee . . . Good video ! Nice plane !
....lard.
I love how he can just fly around, pick a hill, say "I wanna land..... there" and then just goes and drops in on a random slope with no ground prep whatsoever
Incredible! I learned to fly with a C152 on a 1800' sod strip. These take offs and landings make mine look like an airliner roll out.
looks like my friggin rc the way he lands it, spins around and takes right off.
Seeing what some people call "short landing", this was an eye-opener. Best regards to the bushpilots..
this is hardcore even for bush pilots :)
@@cdreid9999 Not really. Pilots were doing this in the jungle mountains of Vietnam 50 years ago.
@@garykersey2189 Remember the inflatable rubber plane from GOODYEAR
Still think its more impressive when a loaded C-130 does a combat landing, going full reverse.
That' s a short landing !Even my RC planes need more runway !
Alex Abadi
Seen porn stars with longer landing strips
hell yes. These bush planes are amazing. You have some headwind with a 30mph stall. They can set down like a chopper. I wish i had one. Looks like a lot of fun.
Comparative is not possible....! If you do not understand. ..is because you do not known unything in aeronotic
I made an rc vstol.. its called a drone, they need 0 runway :-)
@IAMTOPWRENCH1 seen porn stars with bigger flaps than that
Jeeps of the aviation world, sorta 'off roadin' for planes, sweet.
+cameraman655 Jeeps are terrible though...
Yah, I've never seen a jeep take off or land on that short of a run.
You could make a Jeep take off on some of those hills.
@@aluisious Landing is another mater.
Navy Pilot: Landing on an aircraft carrier is hard
Steve: Hold my beer *Lands on 10ft runway*
What a joke. When stevie can land a 16 ton fighter jet on an aircraft carrier we can all call him an Aviator. Good luck stevie. It ain't never gonna happen.
Aviator definition - A pilot.
LMFAO !! Right ?
Comparing a pilot flying a supersonic fighter to a pilot flying a bush plane
@@JayHeartwing - Almost like a 747 Captain, trying to fly a Citation! They tend to flare about 65 Feet too high! ("Normal View" for them at Touchdown, as they are 50' above the Main Gear, when a 747 Touches!)
Used to be a guy in Stoystown PA had a gas station on Route 30 his friend used to land a biplane on Route 30 and Parked at the garage. They took a picture I seen it in his station now it's an amblance bulding.
Looks like FUN. Thanks for showing us that it can be done. Ken
Super impressed! I’ve landed a Blackhawk in some pretty austere looking places, but even a Blackhawk has limitations. Never done too much fixed wing tail dragging, but that looks fun!
How could anyone NOT like this video? Or the SuperSTOL? Or Steve Henry's flying abilities?
"What have you done recently?"
"Nah, nothing. Just landed my superSTOL several times in the middle of nowere."
*nowhere
i watch all these pilots making these intricate landings. They show skill and you see the prep involved in the landings.........then there's Steve. Man you make those pilots look like they are asleep at the wheel. I watch the others clipps at the fly-in events. You will see the others landing and doing it very well. Then you come down like a parachute and stop in 10 feet. Just love watching it. Thanks and take care
Ooooh! I could go fishing to those places I have always dreamt of!
Sangat enak sy juga mau beli jika ada info homan far, whare is locatit
Shure can!
Had the same thoughts...lol 😜🤣😂👍
Man! You're something. And the guy who made that craft has a gift.
Steve flies this plane like its welded to his butt! Amazing skills...wish I could afford one.
I miss the good ol' bush flying days... reminds me of flying the STOL C185... not quite this short, but it brings back memories!
My mind is blown.
By the wind?
@@texasrox2010 {}
I can't blame , I can't stop watching those videos 😃
I know it's kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
@Alejandro Ezequiel ehh try Flixportal. you can find it thru google:) -javier
That's precisely why I think STOL is such a blast and an adventure, to explore and land in/on impossible places. Sort of like an STOL Star Trek.
Like a dirt bike with wings! Idaho country?
I think this is in the Owyhee mountains (or canyonlands) in Oregon near the Idaho border. At @0:44 and @1:58 you can see what I believe is Three Fingers Rock. I could be totally wrong though lol.

My Grandfather and I have had so much fun in his Highlander!! Great Plane, and it is funny to see the reaction of a Cessna pilot, when you deliberately set down before the runway at the side of the markers!!
That plane seems to have a stall speed of less than 30km/h. How is it possible to stay airborne at such a slow speed? This is incredible, and FAR beyond what I thought was possible in an airplane. I envy this man's skill, and I want his life.
***** The Rotax is a 100 hp engine…not all that much. The secret seems to be what is on the leading edge of the wing…slats…they add drag and decrease the speed need to stay up (they decrease the stall speed). These are also Sport class planes with a max weight (full) of 1320 pounds. The guys who design these STOL machines go back a ways but Troy (forgot his last name, of Just Airplanes) has really done some thing exceptional with the Super STOL. I want one.
xkguy my mistake …the 912 turbo is 120hp…big for a Sport class but still tiny compared to say you Honda.
Sure it is powerful and light, but I bet it cant go vertical, I think there are, if, then not many propeller planes which can do that. Maybe some purpose built ones..
DubiousDrewski
He seems very skillful but be careful what you wish for. You never know what's going on anyone else's life.
It’s because it’s an Alaska bush plane
WOW! Dig that tailwheel in, stall, pop it up, do a 180 and take off downhill. What fun.
(cough) 180
@@stevecarter8810 Haha! Pardon me. I was sleeping, please don't wake me up again.
1:15 nothing much just showing off how I can LITERALLY TAXI WITHOUT MY GEAR TOUCHING THE GROUND
3:29 What is better than having some good ol' country music on when flying like this! I hope you weren't the designated drinker that day ;) I wish you many happy landings with this amazing SuperSTOL!
Crazy ! Amazing ! I want one ! (and thank you for not adding some stupid music !)
YA!, no natural sound drowning irritating music!
The guy makes it look easy. Many years of flying and confidence to do this! Impressive!!!
I do practice a lot!
You are crazy! Law of averages will catch up to you, but hey we only live once and you know you are alive. Too cool video, thanks for the thrill.
I don't think so. This is pilot skill combined with an airplane MADE for this activity. I see Steve as operating well within the envelope of safety. Do not try this with a Cessna though.
Reminds me of a flight I made at a gliding airfield in Dartmouth in England! On the approach the instructor said "just treat it like a fly landing on a wall"! I can only say that it was a brown trousers landing!!
Man !! It's just like a landing bird !! Amazing...
Both the pilot and the airplane are definitely capable!!! Cool!
When you realize GTA SA physics is real...
lel
exactly ma tot
Are you still stuck in GTA SA?
just aanted to say this some gta shit
@I Am Sekou That is not exactly the type of language that people want to see here. Even if what he said was dumb. Not saying you can't say anything either. If you can dig what I'm saying brother. Just cause that guy was being a douche doesn't mean you have to feed into it with being vulgar.
Use your intellectual prowess, such as; Abhishek Shrestha, what does your statement, "...stuck in GTA SA..." even mean. He said nothing about being stuck, nor about not having GTA 5. The way you talk about it, like it is something we should all know about, "...being stuck in GTA SA..." However, it appears that you, Abhishek Shrestha, are the only one that has this experience of being, "... stuck in GTA SA..." You talk about it as if you were stuck but got unstuck. Talking as if you are above average in being unstuck from GTA SA. That being said, Abhishek Shrestha, you are the only one I believe I've ever heard speak of being stuck in GTA SA, or any GTA for that matter. I've been playing GTA since the first release back in 1997 and you are the first ever saying anything about being stuck in GTA. Yet you talk as if you are talking down to him. Hence the response from I Am Sekou telling you to be quiet. The originator of this thread of comments, Alpha, was simply stating the the physics in GTA SA, in which many a GTA SA pilots know allow for such landings, are in fact very realistic. Which we would all agree with after watching this video. So, why would you, Abhishek Shrestha, make such a comment that blatantly makes you seem like you have an extraordinarily low IQ and/or lack of understanding of basic concepts?
You see, I AM Sekou, there are other ways (more effective I might argue) of dissing and embarrassing stupid people in these type of situations without bringing yourself down, not saying that you did, some might say so. Have a great day.
Landing upslope and taking off downslope helps to shorten landing and take off runs. That said, this is pretty wild stuff and a testament to the pilot and the STOL technology we have today. You can have this crazy capability or you can have speed.
A HUGE RESPECT for flying !!! Plane is good, but only when it is in good hands.
I think I remember you making a ski jump takeoff in one of these planes from Severodvinsk after you blew up that chemical plant there back during the Cold War -- right? That mission even made it into one of the movies about you, "Goldeneye" if I remember correctly.
Bond ----->James Bond
Real nice few feet in landing that bad boy and the turnaround on the mountain is phenomenal
wow man. And people tell me I am living the Life..
You SIr, are living my dream.
Cheers for this Vid, more please, dom
Would have given the video ten likes at least, if that was possible! I still don t beli ve the landings on the " wall" . A blooming lizard!!!
Dude thought he was flying a chopper. Outstanding flying partner.......Bet you could sell a TON of those in Alaska.
Wild West Aircraft SuperSTOL is powered by a Rotax Turboed 912S
So this is Rotax 914...
I can hear the turbo in her! Beautiful plane. Hope you get to land on that hill!
I was just going to comment about the terrific engine when I scrolled down the comments and saw this :) Amazing Pilot skills

Ah, a Rotax. Thank you, I was going to ask....
Respect and admiration to those that gain the expertise that allows the human endeavor to elevate.
Children pilot, don´t try this at home!!
In fact what he did ,he could even land the bird on helipad!!!.
Or only in GTA.
Don't try it at home? damnit I really wanted to go out back and land a plane on the side of my house like this. Thanks for the warning man.
Wow that's a great aircraft.... But also that guy is an awesome pilot, very good use of the throttle
It seems like far cry 5 plane landing. That's amazing.
Like a german Fieseler Storch !!! Perfect landing Chapeau !!!😀💪👍😊👍👍👍
you are the Ed Van Halen of pilots. I fly a 737, 15,000 hrs TT......and let me say......I am super humbled, and super impressed. Thats as close as a man can come to bird flight......great skills Steve...!
cheers,
kev
Moronically irresponsible of him, in my professional opinion.
@@dariusclough2960 and you know what they say about opinions.
@@dariusclough2960 99% of FAA regs are just so that you don't kill ANYONE ELSE.
Darius Clough if you were a “professional” you know stol landings are quite routine and safe
@@dariusclough2960 , and you get that level of skills on....
Landing has always been my favorite part of flying. How cool is that, though! You just see a clearing out in the middle of nowhere, even if it's on the side of a mountain, and just put 'er down! I'll take that any day.
How can that guy possibly fly and land such a small plane with those huge BALLS OF STEEL? Do they sometimes get in your way while working the rudder pedals?
I had the same question
maybe they had ball cancer and got them removed.
was going to be my exact response lol
When I was a kid our neighbor made a strip for his plane on a short, steep hill on his property. Worked perfectly. Land up, take off down.
Dirt bike style fun
Screw a landing STRIP, all this guy needs is a landing postcard! 😁🤣👍👍👍
-Plane to mountain
"HEEHEEHEE TAG YOU'RE IT!!"
They have completley reimagined flying and landing.
You sir, have some skills.
1:09 Coolest Landrover I ever saw! xDD Nice feature, very practic.
this is just a perfect helicopter!
I just love that the first plane had a lovely face.
I waa worried about the plane tipping forward
3:30 the hillbilly music just gives it that vibe Love itt
Its an airplane with the all the benefits of a helicopter!
Not quite -- the trick is to land uphill and take off downhill, so that gravity does part of the work for you.
YOU CONTROL LIKE A CHAMP!BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
Perfect for taking the girl friend out and SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF HER....
Gotta be careful, THERES ROCKS".
Engine failure could be a bad thing here.
Phones?
Pilot: "We are landing on that rock"
GF: "You are landing WHERE?"
Con. Gratuletion. Good. Pilot
Balls the size of those tires. Super cool!
No way,,, hold my beer,
I can do that!.....!
Super impressive. A master of the machine for sure! Loved the video!
Cool airplane (and powerfull engine). Perfect pilot scills.
Tell me the truth: you were an eagle the former life?
Just amazing. Pilot and aircraft!!!
Your videos are the best man! Keep it up!!!
Brilliant video!!! What a skilful pilot and that plane is an incredible piece of engineering!
Thank you!
That is the baddest thing that I have ever seen!
this is not bad, its good!
What a fantastic way to explore the country.
"Not landed here in years" ....so then, who made all those other tire tracks. ? Maybe the competition.
I was thinking the same thing
Probably from 4x4s/dirtbikes/quads/etc, or maybe needing to do multiple takes. He obviously had someone get out and film from the outside..
The first guys down there were taking the movies from the ground.
I do not usually cuss,but this aircraft is un friggin real !!Better performance than a Storch !
I wish all aricraft were like this there would be no need for any airport or new runways.
+Oliver C Just an incredible aircraft. Love the chunky wheels too!
what if airports were steep?
Emanuel Cervantes Arrizón and then the brakes fail
Awesome little SuperSTOL
even Bob Hoover would say he can land that thing on a picnic table............
Well I'll be, I always wondered if that could be done and you have answered my question. Well done Steve, (if that is you) I am gaining renewed respect for this style of Bush Piloting after watching more than a few videos of your get togethers !
Most impressive 👍 well done sir .
What a Beautiful Aircraft !!! I Want ONE !
This is the aviation equivalent of a trick shot in billiards.
Awsome! I just dont know how I didn't stumble on this video before. Amazing
You know how to make an African bush pilot jealous :)
Looks like a lot of fun as long as you got that high performance engine hauling you.
I feel stupid for needing a runway :(
It may be able to land short but screw flying that thing long distance.
wezdog1 That's not what it was built for -- it was designed from the start as a bush plane.
agentorange153
What's the payload?
agentorange153 Obviously
I love this Video, I come back to watch it often!
Stall speed is for suckers.
I LOVE DOUBLE WINGERS...BUT THESE BUSH BABYS ARE AWSOME!!! This man is very skilled and GREAT PILOT...(THAT RED ONE MADE FROM CARBON FIBER AND HAS THAT TURBO PROP ENGINE...DRACO)...I SAY ITS WAY DIFFERENT AND NOT IN SAME CATAGORY...NEW TECH...
Technically he’s starting landing when he started his decent
Wow!!!!
That was cool. Nice chemtrail in the background too.
who needs helicopters anymore?
Everyone should have one Piper on their garage. just imagine if you want to meet a friend but you don't want to go late because the traffic. Just take your Piper and takeoff from your backyard and just land on the backyard of your friend, then if you want to eat something. Easy just land the plane on the MacDonald's parking.
Can it land and takeoff in a confined area?
zzodr Probably, also it can be used as an indoor RC scale 1:1 plane :D
He has the most amazing STOL flying skills I've ever seen!
He's flying it like he STOL it! 🤣
