Tail-dragger plane landing on moutain.

This pilot has guts, nuts, and skills!

Cool ass landing....but fuck a bunch of that

Neat video, but he is fucking nuts.

That was pretty safe. Some of those tail dragger guys can land and take off in the length of the airplane. On top of that it looked like he landed into a pretty stiff headwind so he was crawling when he set down. If he botched the landing he had no obstacles to contend with. Just drop off the other side and trade altitude for airspeed.

Strong winds, sheer cliffs, and absolutely remote seems ok?

Note to self, don't fly with Josh.

I agree it was a pretty safe landing.

It was a very smooth landing, but the approach looks intimidating. The head wind messes with your head a little bit too!

guy must have a shitload of hours logged in,

Super Cubs will lift off the ground when tied out in a strong breeze. Still a crazy mofo though.

Its really fun coming in with a 30 knot direct head wind in my 150. You are crawling across the ground when you touch down.....You can't quite stop it as short as a cub but its still the same concept. The hardest part of this landing in the video is not the wind or the ground speed. Its the altitude and knowing your airplane very well at altitude.

I've landed an A10 on a mountain before in BF3.
