No runway? No problem. African Let-410 "turnaround".

Gettin' it done Congo style. Very badass. Especially on the takeoff where they take a curve around the road just before rotation. Look how close the wingtips are to the jungle brush!

That is true "bush" flying.

I love all the stacked aircraft just after the rotation point. Also I know why you really love this video @ChasenSFO the music, just admit it dude.

It's like EDC all over again.

It doesn't look so crazy to me, the road is very long and wide enough for the plane. My company use to operate the LET into a 1150 feet airstrip, amazing plane.

A lot of people say that because they really have no clue what they are getting them-self into...

Two pilots flying here with me in the Amazon use to fly in Congo, very cool stories. NatGeo made a cool documentary about bush flying in Congo, check it out.
