Beautiful aircraft sir and some amazing scenery for flying. Not a pilot, but I truly appreciate everything about aviation and tail draggers are just the coolest. Enjoy.

I’ve seen a lot of these type videos but yours is one of the easiest to watch; very nice job! Root Ranch and the B are so much fun and the food is great. Ive enjoyed sharing the experience with flying pals and family. Blessed to have a Skywagon.

Amazing and beautiful. The trail looks very difficult. Good for all of you for completing….had to be exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. I enjoy seeing/hearing about your adventures! Thanks for sharing.

besides getting killed 12 times and eaten by cannibals , it was a pretty boring job lol most of the time in pure terror on some of those remote mtn strips uphill down hill barely wide enough for the landing gear. lots and lots of dangerous mtn s at the end of most of those runways

yup like i said i flew one in the south pacific for almost 3 years. some of the most dangerous strips i have ever seen. was a flying doctors plane

Yes the porter is a unique design. Great STOL plane, but if we are going that slow, I'll take the piston power. Jim

All true, but, if you want to cross the great expanse, and do it in the pilot's seat, these planes planes are amazing. Jim

Franklin in a 170? Think that was an STC. Every 170 I have had and or workd on from straight 48 to the B had a Continental C 145 Or O 300. Nice ship though good looking 180 you have.

I went up on a one hour sight-seeing tour in Lindsay, Ontario , Canada. After ten minutes the Pilot let me take the wheel for a minute. Wow...where the Controls ever sensitive in that noisy bird.! I was thrilled. The only other Float/ Airplane I was aboard a single-engine Otter up in Geraldton, Ontario I was a Junior Ranger in 1974....my fondest years !! I enjoy my flying games on CPU & love the dream of flying. Great Video, Captain ! Be well, Sir
