Came here for the title, stayed for the content

Flying these back country airports in Idaho are my favorite areas to fly. Departing from these airstrips I've flown to McCall Idaho, Boise Idaho, Lolo Montana, Lewiston Idaho, Grangeville, Idaho, Hellsgate, Idaho, Coeur D Alene, Idaho, Red Lodge, Montana, etc. Also, I enjoy following the rivers flying just above the water line. Nice video and thank you for sharing this with us!

My father and his business partner bought a cabin at Pistol Creek Ranch in 1958. My father passed in 1999 but we continue to be part owners in a cabin. Over the years father took our Bonanza into almost every strip back there. Never turbocharged, and an IO-470 under the hood we did fine. He was a commercial pilot who retired in 1989 with +36,000 hours starting in the DC3 and West Coast Airlines. He flew Charters for the Idaho State legislators ferrying congress and senators from all over the state to Boise and back. He would go on to fly most of the Beechcraft line, plus F27's, DC9's. And retired off the B757. He had a few hard and fast rules. -Always land exactly in the center of the runway. Calculate and check your gross weight compare the temperature and most important, Air Density! Always know what your weight and what your true altitude is after adjusting density altitude. KNOW what your true horse power is going to be and what your ground roll will be and are you within the flight envelope. ONLY FLY EARLY MORNING, LATE EVENING IN THE MOUNTAINS during the summer months. Lastly don't get lulled into a false sense of security by having a turbocharged airplane. If the density altitude is 8000-10,000ft it doesn't matter how much horsepower you're making if the prop has nothing to bite, and the wings can't generate any lift Growing up and Spending my summers at Pistol Creek I've watched, or seen, or knew, ridden horses up to retrieve radios or bodies on over a dozen wrecks. So use common sense, and KNOW WHAT YOUR FLIGHT ENVELOPE is going to be and you'll have a good flight. God Bless, Scott Pecora, N6075E

Your vids are always educational and equally enjoyable! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these - although clearly it’s a labour of love.

Lower Loon is a nice challenge. I love the back country flying!

I’ve been to Pistol Creek IRL…super cool that I can now do it in MSFS!

AvAngel, you crack me up! I love your approaches to some outlandish landing sites! But you're correct, it is fun to do something crazy to make the sim more fun. My friends and I take turns trying to land on a challenging flat precipice that is 2.75 miles north of the False Pass, Alaska airport (PAKF) in the Aleutians Island chain. -163.418867°‎, 54.887791°‎ Cheers!! And thanks for the laughs!

What absolutely stunning scenery, and some really good flying from you Rachel! That plane as well it’s really just so cool it’s very overpowered but I like it. You’ll have to forgive any weirdness in my comment as I’m having to use voice to text. Love you Rachel

Nice. And we're waiting on the same planes LOL but luckily we have loads of back country toys to play with while we wait ...

Thanks again for another great little flight plan. Just picked up the 170B and this looks like a perfect route to test her out.

What a great little trip through the Idaho backcountry. Very interesting approaches also, have to say that you always make it fun with your setups and set downs. Now I’ll have to go try my not so skilled attempts at them. Good fun video AvAngel, as usual!

Please do more Backcountry flying! Loving this :)

Great video, if you fancy a bush flying challenge try and get the Simworks Studios Kodiak into Quintin Lodge in New Zealand T004! I'd love to see that.

Suscribed! Nice reviews. I love your videos!

Lovely views

What good fun 👍 lovely scenery AvAngelski ! Nice 🙏🏻👨‍✈️✈️

Great vid, would love to see some more of the like.

I really love your video’s like this! It helps to relieve anxiety and the mess of the world for a while.

Hello I did enjoy your Video. I would have crashed on that ridge, lol. I have been loving your learning too fly videos, The latest one is by far my favorite so far. I watch a lot of videos and streamers, no one not one, that I have seen prior to your video explained about the DNB VOR page in the MSFS 2020 map. I have always guessed that there was such a thing but well, maybe I was too lazy to find it? Everyone goes on about getting subscriptions that cost a $ 100.00 Bucks a year, for me that is "insane in the membrane". Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge with me\ us.

Hehe on the video title AvAngel :D always enjoy your videos, thank you!!!!!

Might try that part of the world. Flying the Porter in PNG ATM. Lots of stall-horns in them there parts too...

Don’t hold the brakes and apply full throttle on bush strips. That’s fine for an asphalt runway, but is a big no-no for bush strips. Doesn’t matter in a sim, but it’s a bad practice.

What a brilliant idea for a video!

1:30 That really shouldn’t be the case, at least not with this type of strip, as it’s very easy to stop vehicles and airport staff appearing in a project, and if I could figure it out with my first newbie airfield most should be able to as well.

I recommend turning on tailwheel lock with Shift + G on takeoffs and landings - basically eliminates that yaw on the takeoff roll :>

Great video , thanks for the links !! .

If u love stol flying u should check out the fattire cowboys they are definitely your type of pilots

Great video, I would love to see you do a video in the mountains of Colorado

Great video as always. I didn’t know there was a taildragger 172!

Nicely done! Great commentary! Sounds like your no spring chicken, and I’m wondering why you relatively recently started leaving us your sterling vids! You were too long coming and a real gift to young ladies who might be tempted to join the skies. Joining was a no brainer for your folksy patter and gonads…grin. Looking forward to your next one…or at least the next one I find. Thanks, Chas

nice work!

Another Spot on Video

Very fun flying! Subscribed :) So except for Pistol Creek, the rest is stock scenery correct? Damn beautiful. I'll build a PC for that one day...

saw the title, came for the actual weight of the content (das Gewicht) , and was very surprised at the lack of disappointment I had. gut gemacht !!!

As far as i know you can actually turn off ground vehicles completely

Have you heard yet of the workaround for the nose swing? It seems to be making rounds on the forums, I've just found out recently. TLDR the nose swing occurs when tailwheel loses grip - so if you maintain enough back pressure to keep it from fully lifting all the way to rotation speed, plane will stay straight. Yes, I know this probably contradicts every single piece of info about taildragger takeoff IRL...

Menina, você é a número 1. Power, Power, Power, Power..... kkkkkkkkk amazing

Excellent video, just as a reference, how you manage to freely viewing the surroundings at the beginning of your video, thanks!

Hey.... My wife is from Idaho! :-)

Can you ask some developer to create Dehavilland DHC-2 Beaver for Alaskan bush flights, please? Thank you.

Very good instruction. Appreciate you slowing down your speech.

What is the ID of this airport....? Is it default. I cant find it either by the name pistol creek or ID49???

that title makes me feel like I'm bleeding internally wtf kek

Let's Go Brandon!

Wich airport is the first one? Link? However I prefer aircraft that have to do with reality. A C172 with such huge wheels I have never seen. The Gotgravel and Co tend to exaggerate too much. There is not a C172 with such undercarriage and wheel in real life. Your landings are terrible however.... Nose up on landing and the stall horn that sound so much a that height ...... you have to do a steeper approach, then full flaps on final and then "Flare" at low level, the aicraft stall and you land. In real life you would have killed yourself but thanks to Good you are on MSFS....... It is typical of Simpilots to fly too low on final, in fact they don't see the runway.... only in the very last part of the final with a taildragger you don't see the strip, otherwise you kill yourselt. Happy landings!!! :-)
