A Cessna 172 is no high-performer when it comes to mountain flying, but 3700ft of pavement is plenty! What a cool strip in the canyon!

Chartered a plane a few years ago out of Moab. We toured the "Big Six" National Parks from a couple of thousand feet and stopped here for lunch. Our pilot was the retired Head Ranger at Grand canyon. It was a bucket list thing for me, saw things that you couldn't see from the ground in a hundred years. Take a deep breath, spend the money, memories of a lifetime.

The content and storytelling of your flying adventures are exceptional. Both the passion and discipline in your flying style are remarkable. That said, your filmmaking composition, including sound, music, dialogue are worthy awards. If not already done so, please submit this 7-part series (including excerpts) to whatever applicable organization(s) for its proper recognition. Given the information, I will gladly submit such a nomination. Kudos and many thanks to both of you for sharing your coast-to-coast journey.

You were flying in our backyard. Based at KFLG with Marble Canyon, KSEZ and KPGA regular stops. The Grand Canyon corridor flights never get old.

Back in the 90s in got my ppl at 17, I flew for around 10 years but gradually transitioned to fight swimming. The introduction of flight sim 2020 sort of sealed it for me. Today I have a three projector set up, I gradually built a cockpit and now use the pmdg 737 600 for most of my flights and am flying around the world, again...But I still wasn't happy with the lighting in msfs. recently they had a lighting atmosphere update which has darkened the land and made it feel much more realistic, with a few filters it can really be brought to life. Today I decided to divert off my world flight and I flew down from page towards the canyon in the arrow. I didn't think twice about flying it anyway I wanted changing weather, time of day and what really was a blast when another live player flew up on my left side and gave me a wing wave, I gave him one back and we flew a few miles together before parting ways. Nothing beats flying for real but I didn't realize you only had a few ways across the canyon. I think I landed in it a few times before landing at grand canyon airport. I still love watching real videos just to see how close flight swimming has gotten to the real thing. Great flight way cool, I enjoyed the watch.😊

Loved the whole series and love cessna 172, this video series has taken me back to 1984 when I was 12 and my dad bought the first cessna 172 (latter added a 210) I was lucky enough to sit in the right seat from Sydney all the way to Launceston Tasmania, shame gopros weren't invented then

I flew in there with a 172 in the early 90s before it was paved. There was a twin that was stuck in the mud at the end of the runway that had been there a while. The lodge is within walking distance, is comfortable and clean, and has good food. We hiked from the airplane into the canyon to the river, and then spent the night in the lodge there. This is an awesome place to fly into especially if you like to hike. The scenery is fantastic. As always, you have created an amazing video!!

When you put it into a slip, you’ll likely get an erroneous (low) airspeed indication because the pitot tube is at an angle to the wind.
