Airplane takes off in 18ft!

In Alaska, you need a plane that can take off and land in extremely short distances. Headwind makes some difference but those bush pilots have tons 'o skill and huge HP.

 

Something like 80% of all Alaskan bush pilots don't even have a flight certificate. :lol: Makes you feel good, eh?

Flying in Alaska is the same as swimming in Hawaii to the locals. Lots of those bush pilots have been flying since they were kids. A certificate just means you paid someone for getting you started, it doesn't mean you have skill. Some college grads are dumber than a box of rocks, but they have a degree... :D

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. Not arguing the fact, just pointing out an interesting tidbit.
