Great video!!!!!!

I was just reading an article on a woman who built her own Highlander, and she referenced this video, also.

Turns out it is a 'Just Aircraft Highlander', an LSA that is built in S.C. (or can be done by kit).  They quote takeoff in under 250', landing in less than 100', cruise at 100 mph, and fuel burn of less than 5 gph.

There are a lot of comments on a backcountry site that hint those flights were shot in the Owyhee mountains...  Those are the mountains that provide me with the pretty view I see every day here.

More stuff at www.justaircraft.com (http://www.justaircraft.com)

Looks like a blast!!!!!!!!
