Thanks for the nice compliment !

[@tedwaltman1]

Wonderful video Gary! Looking forward to getting up there again with my Cub this summer.

...hey Gary, Nice to meet you, what a place is this, I know you, because of the reallity show... Wow, what a special experience to fly in Alaska and I know that it's so tough too.... Nice to meet you

[@evopwrmods]

Stunning scenery. I can't get enough of your videos. O have watched everyone of them and they are all awesome. Even though as you mentioned these were clips; you did a great job of seamless integrating them all together. From the glaciers, to the frozen rivers, to the grizzlys, to the salmon, to those fast flowing rivers in those steep canyons, to those Wrangells Mountains......WOW......you can easily see all the experience and skill you have from flying in this area. I would love to see you do some Vlogging. I understand you have limited uploading capabilities; but you could maybe mail your finished videos and have a friend upload them for you. If you have the time, I'm sure your videos would be a huge hit. Thanks for the new video it was awesome !

[@AlaskasFlyingCowboy]

Thanks again Quinton for the nice comments. I'm considering vlogging this coming summer...I know it will be a learning process

[@chaos18E]

beautiful! hope to get out that way this summer.

They using tubular spars on the Shock's wing, like my RANS S-7S ? Mine weighs, with 29's, extended baggage and fuel and several other mods that add up the weight, 780. I'm trying to account for the 852 pounds your bird weighs, some in the turbo install of course, some the gear I guess.

[@AlaskasFlyingCowboy]

Yes tubular spars...So for weight I guess the turbo, the main landing gear and especially the tail gear with its heavy shock. The flaps may weigh more, and the whole tail section I believe is considerably bigger...It weighs more than I was expecting

[@evopwrmods]

Hope you took some Video of the Valdez STOL 2019...looking forward to seeing how you did !

Magnifique image et très jolie région, j aimerais venir visité votre région et visite Mccarthy un bonjour de France

[@federicopatti7666]

Hi Gary,what engine have you installed on this zlin? Have you flown in the past the super cub? I am thinking to buy or the outback shock or a super cub, but i need to understand what will be better operating on up hill strips in the alps in Italy. Is the zlin strong enough for that? or better to go on an experimental super cub or something like that? Thanks for your answer. Ciao Federico.

Bloody big bear 👍🏻

[@andrewmorris3479]

Mesmerizing! Hard to put that footage into words, well done. Thanks for sharing! What’s the highest elevation you’ve landed and taken off from?

[@AlaskasFlyingCowboy]

I've flown it to 12,000, but the highest landing was in a small mountain pass right at 7000. The take off was down slope so it was no effort to get airborne

[@andrewmorris3479]

Alaska's Flying Cowboy That’s amazing! So awesome. What size of tires do you have and what’s your empty weight?

[@AlaskasFlyingCowboy]

@@andrewmorris3479 29" bushwheels, and 852 pounds
