• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Start a flight in any of the airstrips in Idaho that end with USFS. Some of those strips are in deep valleys, have short runways. I was flying out of one of them using Brian Gladden's Gippsland GA-8 Air Van....mile after mile I was flying through a valley with some pretty high peaks on either side of me. When I tried to climb up out of the valley, I began my climb too late, which resulted in my trying to climb too fast...lost airspeed, stalled and went into a fatal spin....me, my co-pilot and 8 screaming passengers died.....the only witnesses to the tragic event were a few laughing squirrels and one startled Black Tail deer.

Not sure what these airstrips are like with the default mesh, but using Rhumbaflappy's LOD5/7 mesh, they can be really challenging as the mountains are a lot higher.
