Wow landing in the middle of no where 😂

Landing is one thing but how in the world would he take off again? The bumps and tufts of grass do a nice job of slowing the aircraft down on landing but how could he ever get up to speed again to clear the trees?

A committed landing = you and your plane are going to be on the ground no matter what happens, it’s just a matter of whether you’re both whole or in pieces.

Really impressed, but you won’t catch me doing that unless I’m being chased by air pirates, which duh, totally happens occasionally. pic.twitter.com/bawiA46CAI

I’m curious how one does that the first time visiting. And he got down, I’m sure a takeoff video would be equally harrowing
