V1 Rotate: Grass Strip Landings With a Pro

Occasionally getting off the beaten path is an important experience for pilots, according to airline captain Sam Weigel. This week, Weigel flies to three grass strips to review the important short- and soft-field techniques a pilot can hone while visiting them.

This is great, thank you!

I've been having a lot of fun picking up my Washington airport stamps for the passport. It was too wild to land at 27W, I'll have to go back. Tieton was definitely a lot of work, great camping though. Have you been to Copalis, Sam?

Yep! Actually was featured in one of my previous V1 Rotate episodes... ua-cam.com/video/_IdOmGVF_B0/v-deo.html

Ok, you must do a video on how to train your dog to fly with you.

Haha...I started when he was ~10 weeks old. Didn't like it much, shook and puked in the truck after first flight. Got used to it pretty quickly, though. The Stinson is louder than our last airplane so we got him the Mutt Muffs, and that helps calm him a ton.
