Example of an Alaska Bush Pilot

[@johnNYgoesLA]

@VAC1668 nope, the rubber(of the tire) is waaaaaayyyyy too heavy to lift up anything

[@prophetoftru7h]

You have to love these guys, ballsy types who know how exciting piloting can be.

Tundra Tire. Super Cub Nikes. Big, low pressure and actually very light. Pain in the butt to land on a regular paved strip with them. If they catch, they sort of wrap up and bounce you back up! On dirt, gravel, rock and that sort, they sort of drag for a sec and roll.

Was this filmed on: 07/04/2008?

One word.. Righteous..

[@TobyMcVinn]

It doesn't work, helium is much thinner than air, so it would easily escape the tires.

[@islandbushpilot]

Just awesome.... man what a life to live

[@ErikssonTord_2]

Doing the same in wind, sleet and snow, that's even more impressive!

[@mrbushpilot]

@crazyryan there's no hours requirement to be a "bushpilot". Of course there will be for some companies but not to just be a bush pilot full stop.

@VAC1668 EPIC IDEA!!!! (wheels w/ helium)

[@FrapsYou]

@Jamesfromnyc the pilot is heaviest

[@choppergirl]

lame. with tires that big, i could land on the surface of the water and come to a rest stop on the sand bar.

[@usb6009]

Nice!! What a life !!!

[@FSXPilotMerton]

I dream of doing this..

[@freequest]

need something to keep the plane on the ground

[@Nicopeuz69]

[@nickuketime]

If I could have any airplane it would be a Cub.

[@Jaiv74]

[@demusch]

[@abbieamavi]

Personal below is bitter as hell 😂

[@gregc6661]

You get old pilots and you get bold pilots, but you seldom get old bold pilots!

[@divealaska]

short 450 hours to be a "bush pilot" huh? hehe

[@TonyRasskazov]

я нихуя не понял. кто этот человек? )))

[@Jamesfromnyc]

Bet the gear and tires weigh more than the airframe :)
