MU-2 into grass field!

MU-2's are too cool! Here's one going into Johnson Creek in the Idaho mountains. It's a 3500ft grass field at 5000ft elevation, very smooth. I was there a few years ago in my twin Commander for the Backcountry fly-in (I was the only twin there), and we had a blast. Highly recommend the place. Such a beautiful part of America.

BTW, having done the measurements on the map when I did my takeoff there, I estimate his takeoff roll to be about 2000ft. Not bad for a 10,000lbs twin with tiny wings!
