360 VR! Big Creek to Johnson Creek Idaho RANS S-21

Published 2024-06-27
For the flight sim / virtual reality backcountry dreamers out there--this one's for you! Immersive scenic flight through the Salmon River / Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Or if you're planning on actually flying into Johnson Creek (3U2), this will give you a great view of the approach and landing. Even though I initially approach Johnson Creek from the north, I come up initial / upwind and turn crosswind to join a left downwind landing to the south so you'll see everything except Wapiti Meadows.

If you'd like more of this content, let me know and if it negatively affects the algorithm maybe I'll start a second channel with just this content.

Come visit The Bogey and me in the Continental Booth at EAA's Airventure 2024 in Oshkosh, WI.

    Love the 360!! That was my Red/White Kitfox on your left at the end of the runway! We walked in for breakfast as you were leaving. One hour later the winds were 17 MPH blowing down the hill. Had to taxi to the far end and take off uphill. Good times in the back country!

    It's videos like yours that keep reminding me to stay recent to enjoy this kind of stuff.
  • THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SO COOL!!!!!! I really enjoyed this video! Please do more.
  • Lt Col: Sir, your videos are a masterclass and enjoy every single one> I cannot wait until your next one!
  • Great video Steve. That's the first 360 I've seen on YouTube. I was looking at everything in every direction. The potential is incredible. Can't wait for more! Cheers.
  • Love how your vid shows the hog's back to the east of the runway on your departure. Good job.
  • Another GREAT video. 360 view kinda cool. Thank you for sharing. 👍🇨🇦👍 CYQT

    Love the video. Thanks for all of your content! Very informative and appreciated. I'm doing the S21 build assist starting next May. The plane will be based out of Hailey, ID.

    So cool. Had to stand up to get the full benefits of the 360. My wife is laughing at me. This is the first I have seen this technology on YouTube. Amazing. The next thing you now there will be a man on the moon. Is there a way to mark “straight ahead “ on the video?
  • @Captndarty
    That was fun. Felt about as real as it can without actually being there.
  • @edwinscox
    Beautiful flight, smooth landing! What was the high-pitched beep at 19:05 just prior to landing? I assume a sensor was telling you something about AOA or speed or ??
  • @GerryLP1111
    About the only wish I have, is that it it would be more realistic if the point of view in the camera was either to your side or maybe the back seat, and therefore get a more realistic experience (😉). I do appreciate you taking us on these journeys. Definitely helps understand what is involved. 👍🏽👌🏽

    Kinna makes you sick if you don’t have the technology to watch it in 360. Big fan tho!
  • @Phoenixx5115
    Thanks for the beautiful footage. Just wondering why you chose to overfly the field at Johnson Creek and then whipping a 180 to enter downwind vs. a long straight-in final that was more or less aligned with your route coming in? Terrain considerations?
  • @markstoll9636
    hi you mentioned backcountry bogie will be on display at Oshkosh. will you be giving any presentations? like a scheduled hour or so talk? thx
  • @Phoenixx5115
    Did you ever do an engine comparison video? I'm curious why you didn't go with the Rotax 915 IS (or 916) since it seems like you are planning to do a fair amount of mountain flying. My thinking (so far) is that if I'm doing a lot of mountain flying, I want the same horsepower regardless of density altitude.... but I'm open to someone changing my mind.
