Welcome all to this weeks flight in Gunpilot’s Challenging Flights series. This week we will be flying around the ski fields in northern Japan on the island of Hokkaido .
Pack your thermals, gloves and ski parkas as the weather is going to be cold, with forecast snow flurries to hit the region we will be flying thru. Winds, while moderate for Gunpilot’s flights, will still have you coming in sideways on a number of landings, further heightening the degree of difficulty.
We will start of with some reasonably easy landing and bridge challenges but don’t get complacent, once we hit the ski runs it will be full on and require your full attention.
There will be both Off Piste and On Piste landings along the way (but don’t come to the event in a Piste state as it will not go well for you and your aircraft). 
Talking of aircraft, the Rockwell Bronco will be the aircraft we will tackle this event in as there are a number of quite difficult landings and take-offs in tight situations and the Bronco will handle these very well.
The Rockwell Bronco has just recently been release as a free aircraft on Flightsim.to and after flying it for many hours over the past week I can honestly say its a true delight to fly and offers unparelled cockpit visibility, especially if you fly in VR. You can even fly it from the rear pilots seat if you want to. Takeoff and landing ability is just mind blowing, beating the Caravan hands down and can be put into much tighter landing spots than we could ever attempt in the Caravan.
And the best thing about this aircraft???
