5 Flights to Make Before You Die

It seems to me, the whole arguement about flights in the canyon is about
noise. Come up with an air vehicle that doesn't make any noise, and the
flight ban goes away.

I haven't looked into it, but what are the restrictions -- if any --
for gliders, hang gliders and paragliders, in/near the Grand Canyon?

They must make prior arrangements for removing the body at THEIR expense?
Just a thought......... :/

Another gorgeous area is the high country running E-W, just NE of
Jackson Hole, WY (Wind River Range?). IMHO, it is one of the most
beautiful areas that I have flown through.

I've ridden a motorcycle and driven a car throught that area, and it
was stunning. I'll bet from the air it's fantastic!

Wouldn't want an engine-out landing, though. Not too many options.

There's very rarely no options. It's not as difficult as you might think.

Try test flying an experimental with a alternative engine in the Hole
for 150+ hours. If you keep your head screwed on straight an engine
out landing is possible in alot of places. It will just take search
and rescue a few days to get you out. :-) Thank god my V-8 has
performed perfectly.. So Far. G

Maybe not, I don't know. But the choice of landing sights really sucks.

A little duct tape to the N numbers will help here.


Ok. That makes sense.
