I saw a snow-covered mountain ridge I could land my kitfox aircraft on with my bush wheels. It was one of my worst decisions I had ever made in my kitfox bush plane. The landing was great! the takeoff was a different story. My 26 inch bush wheels were not big enough for the mushy snow. I needed snow skis or 31 bush wheels. I ended up leaving the airplane there overnight. hoping in the morning the snow would be frozen and hard enough for me to takeoff from the mountain top.
Thanks to my friend Tom Simko for flying in and landing on the mountain to rescue me!
Thanks to Sander Hadley for hauling my ass up the mountain to retrieve my kitfox aircraft.

click baitish, haha but he is cool enough to pull it off. The title over estimated the risk, based on the tracks present and packed snow.It was possibly know or planned in advance. However, good pilots mitigate risk so a planned risk scenario with safe exit for plane means the pilot is not insane. Very cool points made and lessons learned. Yes also entertaining. hahahaha IMO side note, he drop that landing on a dime, very cool.

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing. Guys doing stupid stuff but surviving to tell and laugh about it later... During my 300-miler on the way to getting my pilots license (a few decades ago), I ended up having to land on a golf course as fuel state was low (real long story as to why) and I was not sure how much further it was to the airport (dead reckoning, no fancy nav equipment). I was flying over dense-packed suburbia in Maryland and did not want to have to deadstick if the engine quit. I wanted to at least have a shot at a go-around. Flew very low, burped throttle to make people figure out that I was in distress. Landed the Cessna 150. Legs felt like rubber as I got out... Adrenalin, no doubt. Golf pro came out in a golf cart to greet me. I asked how close I was to the destination airport -- a mile or two!!! Damn. We got 5-gal of high test fuel (the golf pro drove me to gas station LOL), and I clambered up the wings and put it into the tanks. Went to the longest fairway, swung the tail as close as possible to the back of the fairway. There was a dogleg 80% of the way down the fairway, trees bordering the right-hand side, sandtrap and some trees at the left-hand side at the dogleg. Hot, but dry, day. Hard, dry grassy surface. Did my best short-field takeoff roll, cleared the obstacles. Gave a wing waggle of thanks. And continued my journey. (Except for getting stopped just as I was about to do my takeoff roll: "Did you just land on a golf course?" To be continued... ) I was ~16

Contrary to some of those commenters; I believe you made an intelligent, calculated decision. It was not an unacceptable risk. You had several backup plans. Ultimately, you were successful - after a little hardship. Even had you not been, you were not risking life, only property. The only way to avoid this sort of situation is to fly from point 'A' to point 'B', and always land on long / wide paved surfaces. You handled the results of your decisions like a man. You gave us all a thrill in the process. Great story. Great storytelling. Thank you.

@Individual 1 Agreed. He risked his own life, but worse, risked the lives of others. What if Tom hadn't stopped on his landing...or if the ridge had collapsed? Going after 'thrills' should only be done at your own risk, not others. He said something about 'stupid'. He's right.
@CreekyGuy
@CreekyGuy 5 жыл бұрын
@Individual 1 - No, you missed the part about TWO planes flying off that peak within 12 hours. Who knows when all those tracks that were already there were laid down, but many people have obviously visited that spot; were already there and gone. Good precedent that it was do-able, and a Kit Fox is as close to a hang glider as an airplane gets. The snow the next morning was more firm (as water will do when subjected to cold), as anticipated. That slope was so long and way downhill, that only an F-105 'Thud', couldn't have made it into the air. It was as close to a catapult launch as the author is ever likely to get. Keep flying those ILS approaches. Everyone enjoys life in his/her own way.

@Wroger Wroger It's big rocks up there, for sure! Ray:Folding the wings: yeah, that'll work, depending on how much fuel in the wing tanks. It was a real stable high pressure system, a very slim chance of any wind that night, no biggie. I had a Kitfox 1 and used that trick a few times in similar emergencies. But the 1 had a fuselage tank, (12 gallons as I recall) not just wing tanks, so that helped a bit in unplanned wing folding.

Jonas: Lots of fun watching the drama unfold. This event just adds to the experience level and decision making ability for the future. Hindsight being 20/20, I would have had those flaps in a lot sooner to keep it light on the wheels. Good thing Simko is a damn good pilot with lots of very good experience. He did all the right things taking care of you. Was fun to watch you and Sanders making it up and over a lot of the terrain just getting to it. Hope he had a great ride on the return! Have Fun! Weav

As my implication was intended to be jovial, but your inference of it, found it to beneath that of a decent social standard. I understand that there is some ambiguity when reading posts on the internet, and that misinterpretations are common. I don't begrudge you if this is the case.

I mean professional psychologists whom have dedicated their lives to the practice, don't even poses this skill. It's truly uncanny. Moreover; when the person in questions, clarifies their meaning (showing the inaccuracies of your claims), rather than accepting that you may have been in error, you continue make more assertions about this person you have never met. I think it interesting that you have invoked a concept narcissism into a the conversation whilst going down this road.

Again I suggest that you ask yourself, "How much of my opinion have I applied to his words?" and "Am I listening and applying what he is saying to me, to my claim?"
