Like most college students, I spend a fair amount of time on YouTube. Yet, unlike most college students, my time on YouTube is spent watching aviation related videos, like airline commercials or airport time-lapses, and I stumbled upon this clip of a STOL (short take-off and landing) contest at Valdez, Alaska. How does it work? The winner is the pilot who lands or takes off in the shortest distance – pretty cool, right? I enjoy watching these sorts of things and I think you will be impressed by the skills of these pilots.
Happy April!
