- The fall colors where popping in Michigan's Backcountry call us to go out and do some bush flying. Woodchip wanted us to fly up to his hunting cabin 3 hours north. We meet up north with a plane to slowing make our way north and enjoy some Michigan bush flying along the way. This flight starts right around where the population ends in Michigan, lets say the gateway to the backcountry. Shortly after takeoff the Stinson, Maule, and Super Cub found a fun field to put down in when the whole weekend takes a turn. To have fun flying sometimes a pilot has to be ready to pivot and find new plans. As with most things in life if you embrace these changes and make the best out of them you find more fun than expected. This day turns out that way. Flying new places closer to home than expected and making aviation friends! This is what the Great Michigan Bush Co. is all about!
Love the between the trees landings! If you're keen to link up and do an interview sometime, please let me know
It would be great to link up sometime but you're on the other side of the planet :-) Great videos! Looks like fantastic flying. I wish we had that type of country
here.
@@GreatMichiganBushCo thanks so much for replying, I'll send you a message on Instagram 👍👍

Cool video!
I just did some flying in the northern part of the lower pennisula around end of October myself. Place is looking gorgeous!
It really is a beautiful place to fly.. folks say Michigan doesn't have backcountry flying, I disagree.
@@GreatMichiganBushCo you know good places where I might put in with my PA32? I miss the wide open dry lake beds back in California/Nevada, where I used to fly
@@robinplaysgames137 I have a short list of places. Get on the great Michigan bush company Facebook page, and when you want to go fly and let us know or wait for a time when we post a file come along..
Hey scooter! 🤙
I'm still coming out there sometime Cory. I want to fly Utah!
The scenery was so beautiful that I had to watch this a second time on a big screen. The Stinson 108 has been my favorite airplane for a couple of decades and I enjoy watching you tool around in one.
It was a beautiful day of flying. I definitely tried to show him northern Michigan's fall and I'm glad it worked. I sure love flying around in the 108, I wish it climbed out a little bit better. Thanks for watching.
Just throw a big motor on the front and it climbs no problem!
@@ryanlynch5628 that's the plan.
Beautiful flying. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
You should fly into the airport in Harrison sometime. But if you do let me know I’ll come watch you land
Last 3 times I’ve been there it’s been to wet to land. One time it was a lagoon with swans swimming around over the runway.
@@GreatMichiganBushCo yeah that sounds right. It’s up for debate on if it’s gonna permanently close or not. 😢
Brakes?! Who needs em’! Enjoy your vids
I thought about it. the whole time it felt like I was 15 minuets from getting back in the air.
Makes me nervous watching you guys fly up there, doesn't seem like there' s a whole lot of options if an engine goes. But the scenery is spectacular.
We normally have some outs. You carry a little energy when needed,. The scenery is spectacular, I tried to showcase that in this video thanks for noticing, and thanks for watching.
Beautiful flying. I would like to fly around there. Glad you got your brakes fixed.
Does someone have AIR brakes 🤣
I sure had air brakes that day.
I grew up in Michigan and love the idea of what you're doing for backcountry flying! Will be building a Vans RV-7 so I can close the distance quickly between NM and MI to visit my father back at KPTK where he's currently working on his seaplane endorsement.
There are a lot of beautiful places to fly in New Mexico would be one. This country is massive and an RV makes it just a little smaller. I believe next season we're going to see some float plane flying on the Great Michigan Bush company.
@@GreatMichiganBushCo Now that's something to look forward to!!!
Glad you were able to get your breaks fixed and get off that field without spending the night in your plane!
You landed at all my airports!
What airports are those?
@@GreatMichiganBushCo Indian River, Puckerbrush, Boyne City.
Very nice country to STOL-around. I’d like to invite y’all to show up and fly our canyon country with me!
Is that an invite? We'd like to fly it too!
Great Michigan Bush Co. Consider it as such.
Where is your canyon country? Flying canyons sounds like a good time. Couldn't figure out your location from your profile.
34.87827° N, 101.46911° W
Second largest canyon system in the US.
We have a bunch of guys interested in some longer trips.. We would love to fly this!
How are you liking that AV30?
I really like it. I've added audio alerts ect. I'm hoping to get a second one.
Do you like the Maule? I have a Husky but I am looking for a larger Airplane to take the family and more gear into the backcountry
We were talking how the 4 seat aircraft with the back seat removed really make for great camping planes with the rear seats removed and increase versatility by allowing more passangers.
I’m guessing the tire marks in BC are from the drag races they do every year.
Never knew.
That makes sense and good to know... I've never seen that much rubber on a small runway,
Come to AK!
I'm hoping to put a light coming 0360 on my aircraft. And then I plan on spending the summer wandering around Alaska. It's in the plans, hope no later than 2025.
Please, no music
Its really boring without music. It's literally wind noise or an over blown noise that is much like static. Can't please everyone with the music since people have different musical tastes. I do thank you for watching.
