Bearhawk in the backcountry

[Nev]

Had to share this video - Battson and I headed South for 3 days flying in the Southern Alps.

I knew it was a capable machine but I’ve got a newfound respect for just how capable. The weather was great and I got to see the Bearhawk in its natural playground.

Love these videos!

Sweet. Thanks for sharing.

[Battson]

Our latest offering, I had to learn a new video editor (took all day) and I am still a little rough around the edges....

[Battson]

Not exactly "backcountry" flying, however this is the biggest meeting of 'real-world' backcountry aircraft and fliers in New Zealand, so thought it worth sharing.

This year's Bearhawk entry is shown here flying against the venerable Maule M6-235 long-wing.

Geez I wish I were a New Zealander - just like living in Australia, but better.
Plus I'd be able to wander over and see your plane - a real flying Bearhawk!

Great photos Jon

Likewise, I'm being asked for a password to view the photos.

Yup, I'm having the same issue as Chris. That last pic is gorgeous...

[Nev]

Very good. I like the profile pic too.

I’m being prompted for credentials for the top three photos, but the last photo is stunning!

Not a sponsored post, but I want to provide a huge shout out to Matt Hayes (of NZ) for this collaboration on these photos: https://www.matthayes.co.nz

I would encourage anyone to reach out to Matt if you're interested in showcasing your aircraft.
