Thank you all for the positive comments. This was to be my late wife's last flight with my daughter and I as she was dying if lymphoma. She absolutely loved the Maule 260-C and flying Colorado, and the Idaho backcountry. I continue to fly and miss the 30 years we had together as she was my co-pilot. I feel fortunate to fly and love this magic carpet! Life is short, enjoy the journey. Thank you all.

This was the very video that inspired me to buy my first airplane.. an m5 maule. I get choked up watching it now. Bought it damaged in 2012 and hoped to take my dad on a trip like this but he got a stage 4 brain tumor that ended up taking him from us. 🥺😢 He always wanted to be involved in aviation. I just wish I could've taken him up just once..

I only found this video a few days ago. It is so beautiful. I have watched the video several times. A long time ago our research group was offered the use of a Cessna and pilot in Arctic Norway. It was terrific. A colleague went on to get her PPL, unfortunately, I could not do so. I was saddened over your sad loss RIP.

I have watched this video about a dozen times over several years. I keep coming back to it. I have probably reached the end of the internet when it comes to aviation videos and this one is my favorite. Very, very sorry about your wife. I give my wife an extra hug after I watch this video. Sometimes we take things for granted and forget to give thanks for the good times we have with each other, but, we repay by never forgetting.

+billjesstaylor Hello Bill, Thank you so much for your kind words. Thank you for your condolences as well. Leah loved to fly with me and she truly was my "co-pilot" in life. I do miss her. Although I know that I was so fortunate to experience flying and a shared love of travel together over a period of 30-years, I wanted more. So hug your wife often knowing that life is short and best friends are hard to come by.

Hey welcome to the aviation world! Usually you can find these type of airports on your sectional charts. But sometimes small strips like these one's in the canyons are private. And for approaches its mostly by ear really. Find where the tell wind is coming from and maneuver for left traffic and set up for the runway. Keep your wings high! T. Adair
