Mineral Canyon, UT - Approach and Landing ( Utah backountry ) HD

Taking off to the North from Mineral Canyon, UT airstrip along the Green River in the Utah back country with my Super Stinson 108-2.

This is a beautiful airstrip on the Green River -soft sand on the far north and south ends, but overall in great condition year round. No facilities and a raft launch is about 1/2 mile to the south. Hazards including soft sand, occasional wet/muddy spots, density altitude, and canyon / mountain weather, windshear. Please proceed with caution and make sure the weather is on your side. Also, make sure your piloting skills are top notch, planes have crashed at airstrips such as this one.

Also, please support the Recreations Aviation Foundation ( RAF ) and the Utah Backcountry Pilots Association ( UBCP )

Nice vid; thanks. This was with your bush wheels, right? The first plane I ever flew in was a Stinson. Almost new; gorgeous interior with real wood panels. About 1951.
