If this isn't the coolest landing spot and landing ever, I don't know what is. Love it!
-
Second time's a charm!
-
Very cool, Ted! Nice job! Looks like a ton of fun 🙂
-
Awesome stuff as always Ted!
-
Super cool. Even just doing a low approach there would be awesome
-
Thanks for showing your technique for approaching this airport. I'm definitely going there someday, maybe this summer.
-
I always love hearing the sounds of your plane-so different from what I know. Beautiful landing. Tugs at my heartstrings to “fly along” with you over these beaches where I spent so much of my youth. Thank you 😊

Wow that is awesome. I have flown around 5 different CTLS's and 2 CTSW's. I miss those things! I have an Ikarus C42B myself.
-
I love just watching you fly, man. Always glad to see new content from you.
-
The more I watch your videos, the more I think that a light sport would fit 80% of my mission profiles. What an incredible flight!
-
Pretty cool! Brought my Sierra in there many moons ago - spent 2 days washing the landing gear lol!

Oh hey! You talking enroute rather than voiceover. I like this change of pace. This is not to say that I dislike the voiceovers. It's just nice to get your perspective in the moment as well as when you've had time to think about it. Why do you think that beach based airports like this exist on the west coast but not on the east coast? My initial guess might have something to do with water temps and the attractiveness of using the space as a beach. Bonus takeoff: wow doesn't take long for you to get in the air. Also did you ever confirm the beached whale?
-
Wow, that's a sweet spot to land. How does the sand compare to grass as far as takeoff/landing roll?
-
Great video! Nice landing! Do you mind sharing how you mounted the camera on the lower empennage?
