We landed at a gas station 🛬 ⛽

Thumbs up for the Crayola shirt 👍 Seriously though, those are some amazing locations! It's great to see airplanes being used to create fun and unique memories. Happy flying!

[@AlexDiSessa]

Thanks

[@montanasoftware5954]

love the music and flying scenes ... inspires me to finish my license and get flying!

[@johnfife3062]

Probably the best overvew of Mexican Mountain I've ever seen. Changed my perception of it. Thanks!

[@AlexDiSessa]

Yeah it's huge!

[@Keythers]

Can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos. Your son is going to have some great stories when he has his own kids. He'll be telling them stories about what a great time he had flying with his Dad!!

[@AlexDiSessa]

I hope so too!

[@chrisjamison376]

Thanks Alex for sharing and taking the time to edit and bring us along! Beautiful country!

[@AlexDiSessa]

My pleasure!

Absolutely Beautiful, I'm to old to fly anymore but you guys have fun and be safe!

Those views are to die for, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching

[@prflyer68]

Props to the LOVES station, used to stop at loves during my trucking time, great video

[@davidrobins4025]

Everything about these flyling videos is special. Thanks for your work in providing them for us.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Glad you like them!

[@fido3561]

I use to buy fuel at Love's fuel stops before I retired from trucking. Great place to stop. Love your videos. Just Beautiful.

[@thomasmiller3115]

Excellent video, Alex! Loved it! The hogsback or devil's backbone was particularly impressive. Landing a plane at an 'automotive' gas station never gets old!

[@AlexDiSessa]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JoshKelson]

Hey Alex, love your stuff! Some great flying adventures. We sure do love the airstrips here in Utah! Not sure if you were aware, but Mexican Mountain is a Wilderness Study Area where, oddly enough, any motorized vehicles are not permitted (drones). Mexican Mountain is often scrutinized by those that want to shut it down, and we have to be extra careful with this airstrip to not violate these guidelines so as not to lose the privilege of accessing it. Happy to chat more about it as well if you want to PM me. Thanks!

[@JamesLaursen]

Thanks for sharing this adventure.

[@AlexDiSessa]

You bet!

[@JeffreyRubicon]

Epic drone footage of Mexican Mountain, Alex! Great video!

[@AlexDiSessa]

More to come!

[@GeorgeHardin]

Beautiful area, great video Alex! I will need ad that area to my Kitfox bucket list of places to fly to!

[@AlexDiSessa]

It is a must go place!

[@Stpilot]

Great video Alex! Definitely places I need to go see.

[@bgpwrddy]

Thanks Alex, for the great videos...

[@AlexDiSessa]

Glad you like them!

[@toddgrubbs5883]

Beautiful, secluded area. I helped put up a windsock years ago to help make it a bit safer, but sadly it was torn down shortly there after.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Oh wow!

[@jwoodyr1]

A very enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing! Landings at the first site were quite fast on the mains. Why so fast? Thanks again!

[@gazzabyerun9556]

Thanks for sharing your flights and beautiful views, you are doing my dream for sure, closest to flight i get is RC! Be safe Semper Fi , 🖖 God Speed 🐾🐾🐾🇺🇸

RC's are super fun and I love flying them!

Nice view of a fault line at 11:59 one plate going over the other.

Yes that was impressive indeed!

Great video! Love the music too

[@AlexDiSessa]

Thanks

[@randyvanvliet226]

Incredible footage, Alex. Going to get my Sport pilot's license next, already bought the RV-12.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Cool! Good luck! They are great planes...

[@randyvanvliet226]

@@AlexDiSessa It's video's like yours, and the fun you guys have, that motivates some of us new pilots. Pass the torch!

[@cbshomebizplane]

Really love this video specially when your son was sleeping LoL I miss flying haven't flown in 5 years, be glad when I can get my plane flying again.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Hopefully soon!

[@JamesGood]

Enjoyed that, great trip!

[@AlexDiSessa]

Thanks! 👍

[@JoshKelson]

Also, one thing that helps justify these airstrips staying open are people filling out visit or condition reports at www.utahbackcountrypilots.org. By logging visits here, the UBCP can work with country officials to help support these airstrips. Anyone visiting these Utah airstrips, please fill them out, and also consider becoming a member of the UBCP to help support!

[@jwb2814]

It is magnificent

[@garys4300]

I really enjoy your videos Alex, I find your content very inspiring & I’m going for it, so please keep them coming. I think you may have a real money maker with that suspension you came up with, that is probably how Shock Monster got it’s start, I would think long & hard about putting that on the market! Good luck & be safe out there! Gary…

[@michaelguy7168]

Looks incredible. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Our pleasure!

[@DreadnautVS]

Well done Alex! Wonder if I can get my 172 in there =P Maybe after I get the VG's installed.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Pretty sure you can..

[@crossbonesmk]

Getting closer to airport 029. You are flying around the area we ride our RZR’s.

cool...

I think I saw your red kitfox flying out of Concord this morning.

[@AlexDiSessa]

I sure did...

[@kiethlowry2862]

Love the shot of the two land masses colliding and pushing one up to form a ridge line!

[@AlexDiSessa]

yes super impressive...

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Syncline? Anticline? Often a trap for underground oil...

[@captainnope747]

That place is called the San Rafael Swell

[@kiethlowry2862]

Captain Nope thanks will look it up

[@captainnope747]

kieth lowry it runs for over 100 miles is I remember correctly and has a National Park that has some of it in its boarders

[@biggieyt6407]

Another great video. My ride in your plane is the reason I want my first plane to be a kitfox.

[@AlexDiSessa]

👊

[@robertlafnear4865]

THIS is what I missed when I was a young/new pilot;.............. flying at it's best ! LOVE UTAH ! Thanks Alex for the ride.

[@robertlafnear4865]

YEP... wish the Cowboys were posting some of these too.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ckott99]

I've been to that very Loves & Subway. Of course I arrived a more conventional way in a Chevy van.

[@noahwhite3404]

Kinda new to bush flying. There’s no legality issues to landing anywhere? Great video👍🏼

[@AlexDiSessa]

Depends on the state you are flying. In Utah you can land at certain places.

[@william2william]

The gas station @ 17:50 is on Hwy 70 (Main Street) west of Green River Utah.

[@AlexDiSessa]

precisely!

[@amirhess]

great video, what gas did you use - regular 87 ?

[@AlexDiSessa]

91

[@randyvanvliet226]

If you run a Rotax 912 UL 80 hp, you can run 87, if you run the newer version, the Rotax 912 ULS with high compression and 100 HP, you run 91 or better, all the time.

[@wdwerker]

I was wondering bout auto gas being used in a plane. Several articles mentioned an “ STC “ is that paperwork that says you can use certain fuels and still be legal ? I know water in fuel is a big concern in aviation. I read you got 93 octane, is that ethanol free ?

[@AlexDiSessa]

This is a Rotax engine and it can take 91 octane type fuel without any issues

[@cmpe43]

Please take a geologist with you to that same trip and let them gab!

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

What's the story on that Cessna look'n thing at the end of the runway? Is it abandoned?

[@AlexDiSessa]

Guy was camping there...

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

@@AlexDiSessa Ah, that makes sense. What a cool life to be able to fly the the absolute middle of nowhere, surrounded by beautiful scenery and camp!

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Your flights might create incentives for remote gas stations to have better airplane accommodations... Love's truck stops are great for showers & laundry. Food, too. Send this video to Love's! Pilot (truck stops), too.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Good point!

[@1shARyn3]

Mexican Mountain: Whose plane (white one) was that in the runup area at the end of the runway?

[@AlexDiSessa]

Not sure, another pilot that was going on a hike

[@bradmottishaw467]

THAT WAS EPIC! What is the range on your airplane, speed, and how much can they carry? Did you build it yourself?

[@AlexDiSessa]

I did not build. The range is approximately 400miles and I can carry basically 600lbs of stuff
