WILD Florida Airstrip - Challenging Little Runway

Flying the RV-12 to 8FL3 Back Achers Aerodrome. 8FL3 is a hidden little airstrip which hosted a fun fly in with a diverse group of aircraft. Mooney, Beechcraft Bonanza, Kitfox, Cessna, Piper tri-pacer, Queen Air, R22, and various experimental homebuilts were some of the awesome airplanes which made it to this challenging grass runway.

The Mooney seemed to have a bit of an adventure trying to climb out.

That was cool. That is an interesting little grass strip. I miss the day's when we had a pilots club in my area, and use to have the pancake breakfast fly in's a couple times a year.

Looks like alot of fun! Nicely done!
Thanks for taking us along!

I love that tri-pacer haven't seen one of those for a long time

That is a giant runway for a Kitfox. I used to fly mine to model airplane fields.

Even more challenging than Weirsdale from the other video. Thanks for posting!

I'm in Wyoming. I was warned by tower of a small herd of tumbleweeds crossing the runway.

Super chilled video! Love the aircraft, the grass strip, all the footage, thanks for sharing! Wish I had a home near an airfield like that!

Love the way she’s got both of you dressed up nice for the fly on, similar shirts,

Took off at night at Mineral Wells, TX (KMWL), and when I was 15 ft AGL, I flew right over a bunch of deer crossing the runway. I nearly bought it in a shower of venison.

Tortoise One! Hahaha It looks fun and warm. Great video!

I'm no pilot but that was a fast landing.

Has Jimmy from Jimmy's world ever flown in and out of this airstrip ? Jimmy's a Great guy 🤠

Hey, great videos and it’s nice seeing the place I did my training at. 1 year ago today I soloed at Apopka in N577TU the white and yellow Tecnam p92 on the easy side 15 lol

[AuditRecon]

Do you have a 360 camera on the left wing? Nice flight 2222V

The irony of flying an RV-12 in / out of a 3, 000’ runway and describing it as “sporty” and “challenging” while looking at a Queen Air that requires 3x the runway. Still a fun video to watch nonetheless

Caution for wake turbulence behind the departing tortoise.

The only plane I was interested in seeing taking off from the grass runway was that Queen Air...
