1316461 2012-12-05 00:24:00 That is some skilful piloting! Nick G (16709)

1316463 2012-12-05 01:20:00 Appears that they have larger tyres than normal. Such short take offs too. Bobh (5192)
1316464 2012-12-05 01:54:00 Piper Cub used to operate off on the peebley beach on the inside of the Karamea river bend, taking rich lazy bastard fishermen to the Leslie river trout fishing. Never saw them actually take off and land there but saw the wheel marks. I flew over top of the bend myself and looked down and said no way. prefect (6291)
1316465 2012-12-05 01:57:00 I wonder if that is Jim Tweto from Air Alaska. He flies a cub with tundra tyres on. here. (www.google.co.nz) Trev (427)

1316467 2012-12-05 02:14:00 big rocks and long props is the name of the film series. rob_on_guitar (4196)
1316468 2012-12-05 03:01:00 While I give them full credit for their skills, I think I'd rather hike in and out than face a landing and take off with these clowns.

As for the guy with the camera standing in front of these planes, he's dicing with death. One decent stone/rut and that thing comes chopping through the air in any direction, including his direction.

Might see them in the Darwin Awards one day soon.
