      2022 Idaho Backcountry Flying. Many airstrips visited with tons of detailed info on each.

      Idaho backcountry, truly an aviators paradise! Visited Johnson, Upper/Lower Loon, Thomas, Indian, Smiley, Krassel, Big Creek, Shearer, Fish, Moose, Cayuse. Five onboard cameras rolling to give you as much scenery as possible. Two GoPro Max 360 cameras allow for an "out of airplane" experience. This was a dream trip that we wanted to record for our own memory but hope we can entertain you to a degree as well...maybe even entice you to experience the same adventure yourself.
