Cessna 185 | Taking off and Landing on a Muddy Jungle Airstrip

We fly our Cessna 185 into some of the most remote jungle regions in the Asian/Pacific. It is always a challenge to deal with weather and rain and properly evaluate airstrip conditions. This airstrip wasn’t very wet for any of these clips. When it’s really wet, one landing will sling mud from spinner to beacon and wing tip to wing tip. It’s a short and soft field.
