Here is some backcountry STOL flying clips from this summer here in beautiful Washington State. WA (and the Pacific Northwest) features many grass and paved backcountry airstrips that are open to the public during select summer months. This video showcases our flight schools adventures to these various strips in a taildragger. We offer flight training and can be found at www.nwtailwheel.com for more information on how to obtain your tailwheel endorsement and beyond. We have a passion for aviation and all things flight and can not wait to share it with you.
