Flying Idaho - Part 1

Come along with me on my first airplane camping trip to northern Idaho's beautiful Priest Lake.

First time coming across your videos. Great video. Love the GSPs in the intro!

[@jessecalder]

Thanks Nick and welcome! GSPs are the best.

Gorgeous area! Love the new content but we got some new Virpil gear that just came out and need some new Snake Eater reviews! 👍

Awesome Jesse. I've always wanted to get my license; at lease my sports aviator license to start. Just getting the time to do anything is always a stickler. At least I have MSFS 2020. I know its not the same. Hey, at least I have your amazing flight blogs with great videography and scenery. Now if I can get my wife to move to Montana that would be a start :)

[@jessecalder]

Thanks RL! I hear ya but well worth it if you can find the time! Good luck on the wife front XD.

Beautiful footage!

Sweet video! Next time you head out to Idaho (Central or Northern) let me know! I'll fly out and meet you some drones, we could make some sick videos.

[@jessecalder]

Thanks HC! I will reach out when I head that way again!

So many sim pilots seem to get their pilot license eventually :)

Very nice place... 👍

I miss the panhandle.

Great video. Your increase in true airspeed and tailwinds at altitude it’s a conversation I keep arguing with many ignorant Bush pilots. My bush plane has a Rotax 915 which I’ve flown at 23,000 feet with 105kt tailwind. Besides the tailwinds the difference in true airspeed between 4,000 and 18,000 feet is 15 knots. Makes a huge difference over 5 hours on a long xc… not the mention being able to cruise over terrain and certain weather.

[@jessecalder]

Thanks CD! Yeah man no one needs the boost from a tailwind more than us slow bush pilots! On long legs and especially if you're climbing over terrain anyway it is certainly worth a look at the winds aloft no doubt about it. I've got Rotax 915 dreams myself so maybe I'll be able to unlock 100+knt tailwinds someday hah!
