Another typical tandem landing, but with a slightly faster touch-down requiring two-three steps. (860k file), video courtesy of Stan Harryman and Backflash Video Services. |

A faster landing in a smaller, higher-altitude landing zone. Our fast touch-down speed requires us to take a few running steps to stop. This is why you must be ready to run when landing. (700k file), video courtesy of Joel Donaldson. |
