Video: A Landing (and Takeoff) Like You’ve Never Seen

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The article previews a video showcasing a pilot's impressive Super Cub landing and "spectacular" high-altitude takeoff on Bunker Hill, Nevada, at 11,000 feet.
  • The video, particularly the takeoff sequence, is highly recommended as a must-watch 3-minute, 22-second clip.

Here’s a video that’s just too good not to share. An intrepid aviator in his Super Cub lands atop a mountain in central Nevada, the oddly named Bunker Hill, at an altitude of around 11,000 feet.

The approach and landing are worth a watch, but the subsequent takeoff is absolutely spectacular. After stopping for a while on the chilly mountain (we know it must be cold because of the snow and the pilot’s chuckle-worthy comment), our hero fires up his engine and does exactly what you’d expect.
