Grass Runway PERFECTION - Hidden Florida Airstrip

Today we fly the Vans RV-12 to the 97FL Loves Landing Fly in in Weirsdale Florida! 97FL is a hidden aviation community with two beautiful grass runways, and each year they hold the Wings over Wiersdale event.

Each landing is a competition graded from 1-10, and it can be challenging as the runway is hilly and requires a good soft field and STOL technique. Watch the single engine (RV, CTLS, Waco Biplane, Cessna 120 140 172 180 185, Glasair, Mooney, Comanche) and twin 310 land and judge them for yourself. This video is a great compilation of perfect soft field landings and take offs.

I like the various camera angles you provide. Thanks. I love grass fields.

In the 80s when I was flying did a lot of grass strip take off and landings, day and night in south east Florida with a 172. Didn’t seem to be much of a thing then. Good practice for emergency landings.

Fantastic landing. Looks like a good time. First time viewer…I’m subscribing.

I could watch this video all day. What an amazing grass strip!

Beautiful location. I didn't know Florida had that many hills.

My dad and I flew to Love's on November 5th this year in a white Glasair. So funny I stumbled across this video and you were there the same day as us!

Enjoyed your use of the 360 degree panning shots. I've seen it done poorly a lot...you did it well! I'd really enjoy seeing a fly-off comparison of the RV-12 vs a Cessna 152...especially comparing the quality of ride in the bumps and crosswind, and general comfort for cross country

Enjoyed the show. Looks like you had a wonderful day.

Is that a 301 sitting in the grass across from your hanger? Nice landings too. Subbed

Great video and great little strip. We've just finished building an RV-12iS in the UK, where little grass strips are the norm - but we have to wait for the weather to improve before we can use them!

We have one of the most beautiful 4000' grass strips here in NH. View of the, White Mountains/Lakes region. NH69 Love your airstrip too

The 360 camera on the wing tip is so cool. I love it.

Fantastic video! Thank you for posting!

Great video. I have amazing memories of X04 along with some great friends that own a beautiful hangar there. My first solo was at KLEE in a Cherokee 150 from D&J Aviation. I've been to Love's Landing (by car LOL) when looking at an Aeronca a few years back. Ended up buy an Ercoupe out of X23. I now live in the upstate of SC so flying weather beginning to get spotty around here. I do miss Florida flying so enjoy!
