  • We took the STOL Bonanza to the 1600ft backcountry grass runway at Dug Bar on the Snake River, but (after a thorough bath) our lunch stop lacked an airport, so we landed on the highway for burgers and shakes at Fields Station. And I finally let someone else fly the plane.

    Matt: you remind me a lot of My father as a young man. He flight demoed all the piston Beech products and co-owned numerous V35's from a 48 with 185 horse to a 59 k35 with the io470. Through out his youth growing up in Boise I thought everyone flew into remote strips in the back country. In his youth he would accumulate 10,000hrs in DC3's with West Coast Airlines. For additional income he flew charters, often flying state representative's from all over go Boise. In 1958 we would purchase property at Pistol Creek Ranch on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. He would go on to accumulate another 10,000hrs in the F27 while I was young, and flew aerial mapping for the state of Idaho aeronical division. This involved taking a stripped down P38 with camera equipment as high as it would go flying back and fourth over Idaho taking high resolution mapping pictures. He would move up to the DC9 in my early teens accumulating another 10k of hours and retired off the 757 after 4000hrs. And a total of over 36,000 hours In his entire career he proud to say he never dented a plane or injured a passenger.
    What made me think of all of this is your combination of professionalism, good judgement, and a culture of safety.
    As a child I remember he was fanatical about safety stating "Never put yourself in a position where it takes 100% of you and your planes ability to get of it." "Leave yourself some wiggle room".
    Since often the planes of his day were chronically under powered it was early morning late evening and know, not guess but know what your density altitude is, your weight, stall and take off distance is. More than once I watched him cancel a flight because it had gotten too warm to take off from a 6k high strip. We would fly N6075E, his 59k to Alaska, Fairbanks, old Crow, Tuttoyatutte(sp) on the Arctic Ocean. Go fishing at Fort Franklin on Great Bear Lake, and all the western providences.
    You demonstrate the same level of love, enthusiasm, and passion for flying he did. Often I would hear from his copilits that he would still hand fly the 757 simply because he ,loved to fly.
    He had his fair share of adventures over the years. He was a voracious reader of anything flying, worked with the NTSB and read virtually every accident that happened. A practice I encourage others to do!
    Best of luck and keep the greasy side down

    Happy to see Matt adding more discussions of the safety precautions he follows on his videos. I roll my eyes a bit when I see someone post one of the "engine out right here and you're a dead man" comments. The theme of Matt's videos are aviation ADVENTURE videos. You're not going to be able to eliminate all danger when seeking adventure especially of the aviation variety but I believe Matt's themes are centered around trying to convey to his audience that by intelligent flight planning, taking proper care and precautions, and situational awareness you can minimize the dangers while having some amazing adventures in small personal aircraft.

      ADKPatriot Sound Retreat “adventurous pilot” is something I’ll be happy to never be categorized as. Do all the nerd calculations you want, a gust of wind, animal runs out into the road, or any of the million things that can and eventually WILL go wrong when pulling stunts like this should be an HD example of what not to do. What’s that saying about old pilots and bold pilots? Or the big bag of luck and little bag of experience? Kid thinks he’s smarter than he is. Just like the doctors and lawyers who get comfortable operating outside the envelope. 99 times out of 100 it’ll workout. Until the day it doesn’t.

    It's kinda odd seeing field/dirt landings (as a matter of practice) done on tricycle gear. And retractable at that! It's a testament to his skill that he's never damaged his nose gear with all his casual bush style landings and takeoffs.
    Additionally, I've never seen a Bonanza setting away from pavement either.
    He gives this Beech a real workout.
    Fun vid! I enjoyed the ridealong!
