So glad that Hal made it to the show!

This is what true basic amateur and experimental aviation is all about. Seat of the pants flying, on the edge, using raw skill and basic, often home built aircraft to do the near impossible. Like the Barnstormers of the early days of flying, these airplanes and their pilots are today's real life dare devil pioneers. Keeping alive the dream of flight, withing the financial range of nearly everyone. Love it!

Give'm hell Hal. True bush pilot

That turbocharged Yamaha sounds awesome and performs great on Steve Henry's number 44.

Trent’s kf is a lot heavier than that highlander, s6 and s7. And actually lower power to weight ratio. It’s a nice plane, but not going to compete with the two rans or just. He actually landed pretty short considering the weight. He overshot the line a little, but it still won’t touch down as slow.

@mikeanderson1330

That coupled with his set-up is different than last year. Good point about the power to weight ratio.

What was that turbo 2 stroke? Saw a glimpse of it in Trents video. It's sick!! That is definitely the best sounding plane imo. Awesome! And yea Trent's newer set up is hurting his performance some. He still was rusty, i know he can get it stopped quicker than that. But the D\A is hard to adjust to.

The ultimate flex would have been to take off and land in the first 2 minutes of the video without getting out of order.

flipping awesome show!😀

Just was at Oshkosh for Friday's event! Hal was awesome. Very cool to watch!

These planes and pilots are just amazing to me!!!

Yes ! Lawn mower made it !!

Planes and a sunset, don't get better than that!

44 is powered by angry bees lol

GOOD JOB HAL!!!

Good to see my friend CC Pocock in there as well with the BUSH AIR Cessna, you go mate.

I played a where's waldo game trying to find myself in the crowd

The Boys are back in town again

Those are the pilots I would fly with anytime....very skilled.

Turbo planes are just wild

Dude, in the tent, wearing a red t shirt...slumped out and over...and, at the start/finish line, too...the excitement and all...

Jesus. I just heard of STOL today. These are some incredible pilots. Holy shit.

The Siiimpsons...

WOW absolutely awesome!

Well filmed guys!

I'd like to see a STOL competition where the aircraft have to carry the weight if a drum of diesel fuel or some such load the a working bush plane would typically have to deliver.

@loboheeler

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, these are specialty race planes that don't reflect the real world application. Would like to see someone really push a Fieseler Storch as a demo. Have seen some German films that show it's phenomenal STOL abilities, but nobody will risk that now.

Simply nice!

great vid - front row seat!

That was great!

Good show !

was gonna say i recognized some of these guys, then realized, that's why YT recommended this vid.

Good friend told me on the phone last night he wasn't impressed with the TO performance of Steve Henry's new turbo Yamaha in this vid, so I looked it up today to see for myself. After watching gotta admit I too was expecting more - Like VTO, lol. I think he took off in 57' last year with a NA Yamaha (with my Mohawk Aero Co. gearbox adapter on it) that cost a fraction of this engine - and he won every STOL contest at Oshkosh plus Grand Champ. Steve's TO here looks a lot longer than that, and although his mains are clear at 75' his tail wheel leaves the ground at 100'. Ah, well, then again maybe he just doesn't have the luck o' the Irish from running MAC equipment like he did last year... Wish I was at Oshkosh today instead of working. Nice to see Hal bounce back from the EO and then do so well, that little Rotax gets him clean off in 75' here.

Ah-MAZ!NG VIDEO Keep up the goooO.Ooood work, man!

Great video. Thanks. When will part 2 be published?

Looks like light weight (Lawn Mower III) might have won out over high power (Yee Haw 7) on takeoff! Edit: Although, I think Yee Haw 7 landed shorter.

This is part of the Twilight Flight Fest, which starts at 8pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Considering Hal has about 200 horse power less,I think the tans did very good.

On Trent's landing approach, was that beeping his ground proximity warning? If so, damn that thing's loud! It gets a bit annoying with onboard footage. But hey, safety first! A volume control would be handy. It sounds just like the reversing sensor I installed on my Dad's ute (short for utility for those wondering wtf, (truck for Americans!)) which had poor rear visibility due to the bed canopy. It didn't have any volume control, just loud beeps with differing frequency, to let you know how close an obstacle was. But it suited my Dad fine as his hearing wasn't the best anyway!😄
