MSFS Bush Pilots presents: UTAH! Flight #8: Zion

MSFS Bush Pilots presents: UTAH!


Please join us as we take a series of realistic bush trips into the spectacular Utah backcountry, a favorite of such YouTube pilots as Trent Palmer, Matt Logan, Ryan (Missionary Bush Pilot,) Todd (Gravity Knight Flying,) and Utah natives Mike and Mark Patey. In these 15 flights we will cover the entire state from top to bottom, flying into five national parks, deep canyons and forested mountains, over lakes, rivers and deserts, with at least one off-field landing in every flight. Add some local color, including entertaining historical and cultural trivia, and you’ve got a true-to-life bush flying experience. So load your camping gear into your favorite bush plane and join the fun. Let’s get dirty!

Utah! Flight 8: Zion
Now deep into Utah’s red rock country we explore Zion Canyon in one of America’s most visited national parks. After exiting the park we’ll fly north along the eastern edge of Dixie National Forest, making some off-field and backcountry landings, and end with a short canyon run along a section of the Sevier River.

Hurricane Mesa, Virgin River, Zion National Park, Dixie National Forest, Sevier River, Panguitch, Circleville, Junction.

Thanks! That was fun! I took an under powered plane first which struggled a lot at those altitudes. But the sensible choice was the AN-2 and that was so nice! Cool river runs!
