We landed at a gas station 🛬 ⛽

Come along on Day 2 as we fly to Mexican Mountain, an incredible and beautiful backcountry strip, then we fill up the planes at a gas station and finish the day flying over Arches national park. It was a great day of flying the Kitfox all around the Utah backcountry.

Thumbs up for the Crayola shirt 👍 Seriously though, those are some amazing locations! It's great to see airplanes being used to create fun and unique memories. Happy flying!

[@AlexDiSessa]

Thanks

[@montanasoftware5954]

love the music and flying scenes ... inspires me to finish my license and get flying!

[@damienradford]

Can’t wait for part 3!!!

[@Keythers]

Can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos. Your son is going to have some great stories when he has his own kids. He'll be telling them stories about what a great time he had flying with his Dad!!

[@AlexDiSessa]

I hope so too!

[@johnfife3062]

Probably the best overvew of Mexican Mountain I've ever seen. Changed my perception of it. Thanks!

[@AlexDiSessa]

Yeah it's huge!

[@chrisjamison376]

Thanks Alex for sharing and taking the time to edit and bring us along! Beautiful country!

My pleasure!

Props to the LOVES station, used to stop at loves during my trucking time, great video

[@davidrobins4025]

Everything about these flyling videos is special. Thanks for your work in providing them for us.

Glad you like them!

Great video Alex! Definitely places I need to go see.

Those views are to die for, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching

[@everettglass6738]

I was Impressed That you stopped for fuel @ a loves.

[@thomasmiller3115]

Excellent video, Alex! Loved it! The hogsback or devil's backbone was particularly impressive. Landing a plane at an 'automotive' gas station never gets old!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Epic drone footage of Mexican Mountain, Alex! Great video!

More to come!

[@GeorgeHardin]

Beautiful area, great video Alex! I will need ad that area to my Kitfox bucket list of places to fly to!

[@AlexDiSessa]

It is a must go place!

[@toddgrubbs5883]

Beautiful, secluded area. I helped put up a windsock years ago to help make it a bit safer, but sadly it was torn down shortly there after.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Oh wow!

[@JoshKelson]

Also, one thing that helps justify these airstrips staying open are people filling out visit or condition reports at www.utahbackcountrypilots.org. By logging visits here, the UBCP can work with country officials to help support these airstrips. Anyone visiting these Utah airstrips, please fill them out, and also consider becoming a member of the UBCP to help support!

[@JoshKelson]

Hey Alex, love your stuff! Some great flying adventures. We sure do love the airstrips here in Utah! Not sure if you were aware, but Mexican Mountain is a Wilderness Study Area where, oddly enough, any motorized vehicles are not permitted (drones). Mexican Mountain is often scrutinized by those that want to shut it down, and we have to be extra careful with this airstrip to not violate these guidelines so as not to lose the privilege of accessing it. Happy to chat more about it as well if you want to PM me. Thanks!

[@wb6anp]

Nice view of a fault line at 11:59 one plate going over the other.

Yes that was impressive indeed!

Hopefully soon!

yes super impressive...

Syncline? Anticline? Often a trap for underground oil...

That place is called the San Rafael Swell

Captain Nope thanks will look it up

[@captainnope747]

kieth lowry it runs for over 100 miles is I remember correctly and has a National Park that has some of it in its boarders

[@DreadnautVS]

Well done Alex! Wonder if I can get my 172 in there =P Maybe after I get the VG's installed.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Pretty sure you can..

[@garys4300]

I really enjoy your videos Alex, I find your content very inspiring & I’m going for it, so please keep them coming. I think you may have a real money maker with that suspension you came up with, that is probably how Shock Monster got it’s start, I would think long & hard about putting that on the market! Good luck & be safe out there! Gary…

Looks incredible. Thank you for bringing us along.

Our pleasure!

Incredible footage, Alex. Going to get my Sport pilot's license next, already bought the RV-12.

@@AlexDiSessa It's video's like yours, and the fun you guys have, that motivates some of us new pilots. Pass the torch!

I sure did...

I've been to that very Loves & Subway. Of course I arrived a more conventional way in a Chevy van.

Getting closer to airport 029. You are flying around the area we ride our RZR’s.

[@AlexDiSessa]

cool...

[@noahwhite3404]

Kinda new to bush flying. There’s no legality issues to landing anywhere? Great video👍🏼

[@AlexDiSessa]

Depends on the state you are flying. In Utah you can land at certain places.

[@cmpe43]

Please take a geologist with you to that same trip and let them gab!

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Your flights might create incentives for remote gas stations to have better airplane accommodations... Love's truck stops are great for showers & laundry. Food, too. Send this video to Love's! Pilot (truck stops), too.

[@AlexDiSessa]

Good point!

[@woodyahh2110]

You should have a gold nugget detector with you for the extra fun

[@amirhess]

great video, what gas did you use - regular 87 ?

[@AlexDiSessa]

91

[@randyvanvliet226]

If you run a Rotax 912 UL 80 hp, you can run 87, if you run the newer version, the Rotax 912 ULS with high compression and 100 HP, you run 91 or better, all the time.

[@wdwerker]

I was wondering bout auto gas being used in a plane. Several articles mentioned an “ STC “ is that paperwork that says you can use certain fuels and still be legal ? I know water in fuel is a big concern in aviation. I read you got 93 octane, is that ethanol free ?

[@AlexDiSessa]

This is a Rotax engine and it can take 91 octane type fuel without any issues

[@bradmottishaw467]

THAT WAS EPIC! What is the range on your airplane, speed, and how much can they carry? Did you build it yourself?

[@AlexDiSessa]

I did not build. The range is approximately 400miles and I can carry basically 600lbs of stuff
