A place for all those pilots with their heart in Ohio.  You don't have to be from here to join!  

My wife and I made the transition from one Washington (DC) to another (WA State) at the end of last year.  I've met some great pilots around the Port Townsend area where we now live.  I'd like to broaden my flying connections and increase my flying opportunities with the backcountry community west of the Cascades.  Some of the Maule owners in this region are already making plans to connect, but I'm eager to learn about good destinations from...

The purpose of this group is to bring together experts and non experts alike who have in common a love for Back Country Flying and also share an interest in documenting their aerial adventures either with digital still or video cameras.

The Cessna 150 Taildragger

Wikipedia says the Mid Atlantic states include Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York.  I'm OK with that as a starting point.  I know of several Maules in the area and at least one Super Cub.  Other back country pilots in the region have shown me some great spots and I'd like to see the region grow in back country, or at least grass strip flying.

Ski flying all areas.

Often touted as the ultimate do-everything aircraft, the Cessna 182 Skylane's legacy is almost as old as the Skywagon. Boasting between 225hp and 260hp (modified), the Skylane is still in production today. Most every modification available for Skywagons is available for Skylanes, as well as big tires and bigger nosewheel forks.  A Knowledge Base entry for the 182 has been...

This is a group including southern Missouri, Northern Arkansas, and Part of North Eastern Oklahoma. This region is known as the Ozarks and contains mountainous terrain different than most of the country. Similar to the Appalachians, the Ozark mountains are not as large, but they provide a great place to fly over and around.

The popular Rans S7 has a large following in the backcountry community, and rightly so. This Rotax-powered taildrager is a formidable bush machine. The S6 is the similar side-by-side model.  The S20 is going to be a great backcountry machine.

This region includes Corvallis, Albany, Salem, Portland, Troutdale, Hood River, and the NW coast.

Graced with a beautiful round tail and a tailwheel, this predecessor to the ubiquitous 172 is a capable and economical bush plane in its own right.

Arguably the most prolific and capable do-it-all tailwheel aircraft ever manufactured by Cessna, the 180/185.
