Flying to Ranger Creek in a Bonanza - Cascade Excursions - Part 4

A quick flight over the range from Cle Elum to Ranger Creek (21W) just below Mt Rainier. A beautiful approach to runway 33, at this short paved strip in a fairly tight valley, with mountains on both sides and plenty of trees. After a hike up the mountain and meeting some nice folks, we needed to go to Ellensburg for fuel, before returning to our temporary home base in Cle Elum.

I just started flying a V-Tail and seeing you drop it into Ranger Creek like that was very impressive!

Glad I found you. Nice plane, wife and family.

I think this is by far my favorite account to watch in regards to flying. Such good footage and pilot does a great job on keeping you entertained.

Thanks Eduardo, much appreciated and I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Great video. I couldn’t help but notice that the young man in the back seat never took his eyes off of his game. I remember being that age and being able to turn to channel 9 on a united flight and hearing ATC. It was the highlight of any flight I was able to take as a kid...

[@VTalesAviation]

I enjoyed channel 9 way into my 30s :)

"Aren't we going to Ellensburg?" Score one for the wife! :-)

Really appreciate the Cascade series. Great videos! Looks like we have the same paint scheme on our planes😀 N34602

Thanks Peter! Nothing like brown, beige and gold :)

Beautiful sites, beautiful flight

Another very nice video! For me, that approach into Ranger Creek is pretty exciting! I'll have to go there again and do that hike. Looked like a great view. Meant to ask you, why did you choose Cle Elum as your home base out here?

[@VTalesAviation]

Thanks Jay! Yeah, you really gotta drop down after those tree tops coming into 33! Such a great spot. The hike was great, once on the ridge you have some amazing views. We rented a house/cabin in Cle Elum for a few weeks as we wanted to explore the area so it was mostly just a fluke.

Again, the editing is superb. The cockpit banter, at times didactic. I’m guessing you’ve edited a few videos in your time. It was nice hearing the Cessna 205 in the radio work. I’m looking forward to flying my 205 to these locations. I was talking about your stuck-in-the-sand video to a friend today. Good times...

THAT WAS A "TIGHT" LANDING.

[@JETZcorp]

Well, I know where I’m going in MSFS next.

Some nice camera angles.....

[@TomCook1993]

did that other pilot saying they're faster bother you? XD lmao

This is such a great video! do you mind if I repost some of these clips to my Instagram @visuallyinfinte? The account currently has 16.8k followers and I think your content would do great on my page. I will give full credit : )
