This is What Aviation’s All About

We battle high density altitudes and a gusty tailwind on departure, but 4500 feet of grass runway in the backcountry makes for an awesome day of flying.

I'm so happy to finally see you make it to my beautiful home state. And flying into/over several places I'm very familiar with from my (ground-based) childhood there made it even better. Never take it for granted. You're living my dream. One day hopefully soon here, I'll be able to do it too.

[@Dewwieee]

Would love to see a how to video. Planning, procedures for certain airports, mountain flying. Keep up the great work

[@NN-ph6lo]

I was just thinking this myself!

[@mileshighclub5993]

yes please show us all how to plan, and the logistics involved in staging a water ditching accident Matt

[@stevecastro22]

This video is epic. You are living the dream, Matt. I'm sure that you have worked, saved, and dreamt and now everything has come to fruition. Such a beautiful place to live and play.....

[@jimhuskyflying]

I really enjoyed your video. I fly Husky, so it was interesting to hear all the discussion about runway length on public airports. Thank you for sharing.

[@jonclassical2024]

Nice to meet different friend, very neat grass strip...Montana is so beautiful, thanks for the ride!

[@kennypatrick430]

Memorial day? You must have one heck of a backlog of footage. Can't wait!

[@andersadventures253]

Matt, thanks for sharing - I grew up in Seeley Lake and have only flown there once. Awesome video! Keep them coming!!

[@robertottwell605]

I really enjoy your videos. I drove over the road for over twenty years across this wonderful country Canada and Mexico it it’s so awesome to see all these places I have been to and delivered boats goods and materials on land to see it by air. Excellent thank you for sharing.

[@chadwickalexanderjr1758]

Incredible. Some of your best work yet.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

Hello Matt from Sydney Australia. 🌏🇦🇺

[@CrocodilePile]

Went to a wedding there (Seeley Lake) this past summer and rented a room in the Tower home for the weekend. Highly recommended.

[@CableGuyJoeCCTV]

Watching that g650 take off you have to think that he may burned as much fuel in that takeoff as you spent all day just having fun. Lol

[@Matt-mo8sl]

One of these years you have to make the flight up to the Spurwink Fly-In on Sprague Farm in Cape Elizabeth, Maine and have some pancakes and sausage with all us pilots and airplane bums. 2 Sunday in July annually.

[@jonnydwolf]

Very nice Matt, keep posting videos of your adventures.

[@bobsykes]

Really nice filming! Of course there's a hamburger place in the plot, too!

[@peterscandlyn]

Epic scenery.

[@RichardReikowsky9005]

I'm 75 yo watching your video. Seely lake beautiful.

[@CCitis]

Your a young man.

[@gkmandigo]

I live in San Diego and your videos have inspired me to head over to Gillespie Field and see about flight training for a PPL. Any recommendations?

[@dmascol7590]

I had a little training at golden state and they are a cool bunch of guys. They offer a discovery flight you should try.

[@hermesdavid1]

You could also Joint Plus One Flyers!

[@gregc6661]

Really enjoyed this video

[@Arcadiez]

Oh, Matt can you do regular 50h service etc at the Alpin homestead?

[@nothingtoseehere4026]

Great content as always. If you ever have a chance, I'd like to see a video of your panel and why you have it set up the way you do.

[@CCitis]

GF is goooone

[@litz13]

Gorgeous Gulfstream there, only a few years old ...

[@fritzfrei9190]

Why do your recent videos, like this one, not show up on your channel?

[@ENergyJimP]

nice Gulfstream :)

May I ask what you do for a living?

[@jamesparker6017]

Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Bogles my mind! EVERYONE has a different utopia.Hehe. Carry on 👍🏄

[@DanFrederiksen]

Bonanza isn't a fast climber. It could benefit from a new generation of plane.

[@vinnieb5488]

What weather app was it ? Windy ?

[@JustNotWillem]

looked like foreflight

[@larrybair8074]

I thought you had a V tail.

[@gewglesux]

Stevie does....

[@jazzbeau507]

Is it just me, or are others tired of hearing "hotel papa." ? change aircraft registration.

[@cyberayubi]

Just awesome!!! Felt like I was right there with you guys the whole time!

[@willleeroyjenkins7247]

This was awesome as my parents (and I during high school) lived just about a half mile directly north of the airstrip. Drove past 34 end daily on my way to school and work. My dad worked with a guy who flew a V Tail out of Seeley Lake. Awesome way to showcase a beautiful area!

[@jimhayden7132]

I don't think you need to worry about tire wear with how smooth all your landings are. And tell Jordan Bonanzas were designed before the 60s, ours is a 1947. (I assume he knows that though)

[@kevincollins8014]

Such beautiful scenery with those flights.

[@jts4233]

Hi Matt - particularly wonderful video - even better than always! Btw: What solved N367HPs nasty battery problem in the end? Greetings from EDVN, Joern

[@Adalla]

Very inspirational. One question though. The practicality of flying vs driving i would say is a lot of times dependent on access to a car at destination. The airport courtesy van on small airports is something that always surprised me, considering that nothing is free anymore in this world, it is probably one of the few truly "free" services out there remaining. Are courtesy cars a given at just about any airfield with an FBO? What happens if you get there and it's already taken :D

[@FortyEcho]

Excellent video Matt! Really enjoyed your visit to Seeley Lake. Many great memories with the wonderful people there!! Thank you for sharing this flying adventure with your viewers.

[@petermarianic]

what a f....ng perfect departure from Alpine, nice weather, cool video, nature, countryside, flying!!! thanx!

[@williamfrench6856]

Great flight pics! Thank you Matt and crew. You spoke of incline. Have ever landed at Catalina Airport. No way to see the end.

[@quinnferris7220]

I always appreciate your content. Thanks for doing what you do g

[@AerostarPilot]

Always fun and entertaining. I don't think I can get my Aerostar into those short grass strips. I have been into Alpine though.

[@CCitis]

That one is 4500 feet. I think you could.

[@AerostarPilot]

@@CCitis No problem getting in or out for that matter.

[@CCitis]

@@AerostarPilot Exactly. Film it and post it! I love Aerostars. Great airplane.

[@PeteLenz]

Beautiful sights! Enjoy your flying!

[@brucekempton2196]

One of your best, Matt. Thank you.

[@caseyhutson5392]

What's the weather app you're using? Your passenger said it replaces all his Wunderground tabs, so it must be a pretty good system.

[@AdamStef]

If you ever get around to LBE let’s make a video together. Make a trip to BIRK for a weekend. Fuel is on me

[@zainahmed9699]

What plane do u have?

[@emilydeke]

Little dirty belly there, Matt?

[@flyinbry]

Bonanzas suck

[@manuair]

the burger place girl! Gorgeous!

[@av8flightstream]

Love your videos bro!

[@Joshkaviation]

Thoughts on uphill/downhill/headwind/tailwind takeoffs. In my opinion the key is what’s going to happen if the engine quits shortly after liftoff or even on the ground with little runway remaining. Lets say we have a 10 knot wind blowing downhill making for an uphill takeoff into the wind, 1.2% slope most heathy airplanes can do this (within reason) but if she becomes unhealthy and quits our option is a landing with a 10 knot headwind and probably uphill (slower groundspeed, shorter rolling distance) Now if we reverse this we would have a higher post engine failure touchdown/crash speed by not 10 knots, but 20 knots! compared to the first scenario. Also if the terrain is sloping away you’re more apt to be landing off field down hill….. this all assumes the engine quits very low with little or no runway remaining…. We can run the numbers on these things and the bonanzas are great but the only number you need is the lowest one you can you get when you hit the ground. Anyway keep up the good flying just food for thought.

[@bobac1083]

@7:57 that song i hear alot from a channel i watch all the time called "Matt's Offroad Recovery" based out in SW Utah.

[@danblumel]

Wow you must be in the Wyoming banana belt, so green for December or January (NOT).

Matt, what brand and model are your sunglasses?

[@jonathanwilkins6071]

Hi Matt...great vlog as usual...amazing views from your trip... 👍🇬🇧 Jonathan

Deer Lodge the very old original state prison and the new one too.

I felt like I was there with you :) Thank you

Montana...safe, beautiful, conservatively governed. Lets not ruin it.

[@Flapswgm]

Time to seriously look at the bottom of your plane. Almost looks like an oil leak but needs to be cleaned anyway. Great vid.

[@lucassandermedeiros4266]

Hey Matt, can you do a video about your panel? What's in it? Keep up the great work!😃

[@trygger4]

Deer Lodge, MT. Next time you got to go to Rock Creek Cattle Company

[@JeremyTaylorNZ]

13:21 how’d you get that shot from above looking down?

Man Matt…your Bonanza seems underpowered even at summer density altitudes!?

Such beautiful country with amazing photography as always! For these and many other reasons do I happily support you on Patreon, Matt. What a pleasure!

Been a big forever Matt, maybe I will into you at a airport someday

[@davidm3440]

Matt, did I hear you say Memorial Day?? Are you that far behind posting your videos?

[@CCitis]

Not much flying in the winter at Alpine.

[@briansaenz4392]

Matt I would enjoy having accountability and opportunity to work with you in your searches and adventures in the future of aviation. DM me I got you brother!.😉🤙👍❤❤❤
