That is funny, ‘I don’t need no stinking chute’. Looks like the breeze helped a good bit.

Yep. That is short. I’d love to see the takeoff.

With just a little more wind he could have backed it in.

Cool.
With a little bounce he could have made it a touch & go.

Funny..!!!!
I haven't hover landed a plane, but I have had some 1 or 2 foot rollout landings in a C-207 due to the wind.

I landed my Husky in a 35knot headwind. It must have looked like that. I had full flaps down like that. My Husky stalls at 40 knots true at this altitude and temperature. (Its 40MPH INDICATED). Oh, BTW it wasnt too hard. Thats all folks!!!

How about the opposite way? Nothing like a 6,000 roll-out on a downwind, downhill landing...

Most pilots who try it don't think about it first.I never thought about trying that...

I've got that a lot. Some of them have been able to walk away multiple times.

Different day. Winds at 20mph. I have equally impressive videos with no wind but I can’t share them with non-friends (Facebook, not me).

I’ll remind you of that next time I see 70 mph winds out your way! Lol

For you guys who aspire to STOL ops, how many notches of flaps were used on that takeoff. The answer? All of them. Gotta love horsepower!

FAA gives out the Orville and Wilbur Wright award for that. Not an awful thing to aspire to. 50 years of safe flying.

Well, the first step toward that would be aspiring to live and fly to the age of 107...

Wow.
So question - if you can take off in what, 6ft?, in that wind - how does a gust not just blow that plane over while it was parked?

LOL. I’ve got a shot at it. I’d be 69. Which seems ... appropriate. Haha. Maybe the Monkey could come to the party.

My daughter got me this t shirt for Christmas. I get lots of comments every time I go out in public with it.

Mine came off of shop gear and went onto final gear today. The prop goes on and panel gets closed up tomorrow. The chores list gets shorter every day. Another badass Cub will be flying soon!
