If you have a spare 35 min, this is a fantastic film that Zane just finished editing from our trip up to AK last spring.

Just read a nice article on the smoke this year out west written by Zane Jacobson…  Thanks to BCP.org for their steady production of backcountry content.  If you haven’t considered contributing, I urge you to support BCP with a small donation.

Last May Zane Jacobson (from BCP.org) and I did some filming in AK while up at the Alaska Airman show.  The video is still in the edit room, but here is a short teaser that Zane cut together.

New article up on BCP about the High Sierra Fly-In.  Thanks to By Jon “Jughead” Counsell and BCP for posting!

I love re-posting great stuff from BCP.org…  Check out Zane’s latest article on Alex Wells over at backcountrypilot.org.

Great article from Ravi Fry over on BCP.org.  Thanks Ravi for your work and supporting the community!

Over the weekend I flew up to Hampton 7B3 to meet up with some fellow BCP’rs to check out a 1960 model Cessna 180 that Brandt was looking to buy.  Fingers crossed, but we think today is the day that Brandt will be flying it back to TX!

Brandt has some big plans… Sportsman, VG’s, ABWs, Tail Pulls, etc…  Gonna be such a sweet bird!

This was posted over on BCP.org… Put a smile on my face.

If your not familiar with Paul Claus and his lodge, its worth taking a look….

Cool new article up on BCP.org.  Kudos Zane and great pics Dan!

Been doing a bunch of fall flying lately.  The air has been great, the temps nice and crisp, and the colors perfect.

In the effort to get more BCP folks to get out camping and meeting, I created the IMR or Informal Micro Rally.

What the hell does that mean?  Simple:  Just get out and camp… Doesn’t have to be anywhere crazy, short, or gnarly.  Anyone is welcome, anywhere is game… Pick a meeting spot and run whatcha brung.

Pick a spot, let other folks know where you are heading by posting it, and roll the dice… If at least another person shows up, you got yourself an IMR.

Good luck!

Backcountry Aviation’s STOL Tips by Patrick Romano is an article and media series about backcountry flying technique and strategy– in particular the unique skills utilized for operating from very short airstrips and landing zones, and the dynamic environment of the backcountry.
