    I wish I would have learned to fly when I was younger and had the opportunity. It would have been such a great life.

    I really enjoyed your back country video with your daughter. Excellent 1440p clarity, narration, beautiful music, drone use, and flight video. Love seeing the clear water, Big Country Lodge, and the approaches into the back country airstrips. I'm an experienced pilot myself and really appreciate just being able to take-off to exotic destinations. Great video!

    Fantastic! As a PA-28 owner it’s great to see other cherokees out doing this kind of flying. Looks like the Oleo’s and low wing was comfortable in the back country

    • @bhendo44
      @bhendo44  Рік тому +1

      It’s definitely capable in the back country. I try to avoid the really rough strips, but you don’t need an expensive tail-dragger with big bush tires to go out and enjoy unpaved airports!

    What a great video for so many reasons, I am happy for you! I learned fly in High School in the early 70’s off of a 2600 foot grass strip. However can not say I have done any back country flying in the mountains. Corporate jets are not conducive of that! Seriously what great video! 😁🛫

    Hi Guys .

    Fantastic video of Idaho flying .
    Loved it .
    Here our area is very flat indeed so the valleys and landing strips look so challenging .
    Thanks again .😊 16:40

    I enjoyed the vicarious aerial visit to some of Idaho's back country strips! Great scenery!! I've only visited a few of them when I've been on road trips in Idaho. The state does a good job maintaining those it owns and operates. When you plan another trip to Idaho, be sure to stop in a Smiley Creek, they have a good little lodge and cafe just across the road. Stanley also has a nice paved runway and good eats in town. I like your panel upgrades in the 180, especially the Aspen PFD. I loved the one I flew behind for a number of years in a Baron. New sub! Safe flying!

    What a great video. Glad you enjoyed it up here. Big Creek is one of my favorites. Hope you can get up to Stanley and Smiley Creek area for your next trip. In the late spring/early summer, you will be surprised at the amount of snow cover still up in the Sawtooth Mountains and how frozen the high lakes are.

    Is Big Creek suitable for a Piper Arrow? Little nose wheel and folding feet thing.

    • @bhendo44
      @bhendo44  Рік тому +1

      Big Creek definitely had some decent ruts, especially compared to how smooth Johnson Creek is. That being said, my Cherokee handled it fine as long as I kept the nose light, and kept the flaps extended to the second notch to get off the ground ASAP.

  • @BumAviator

    Great video! I have a Cherokee 180 as well and have been dreaming heading out there. Any issues with the wheel pants? What time of the year did you go? Favorite part of the trip had me rolling with the couch comment. 😂

    • @bhendo44
      @bhendo44  Рік тому +1

      I took the wheel pants off for last years trip to Idaho, and I found that I was more likely to throw rocks into the underside of the wings with the tires exposed, so I put them back on for this year. I’d rather damage the wheel pant than the wing. And I’ve always gone up there in July or August. Great weather! Thanks for the response.

    What is the white box on the dashboard of the plane for?

    • @bhendo44
      @bhendo44  Рік тому

      It's called a Stratus 3 ADS-B receiver. It shows ADS-B traffic targets on my iPad while running Foreflight so I can keep track of other aircraft in the area.

    • @cajunnathan4586
      @cajunnathan4586 Рік тому

      Thats a Great Device to have! I've watch several flying videos and the pilots had the device on their dash board. The most I fly is RC Planes. Thx for answering my question. Be Safe!
