Let`s say: bush commercial flights. Are any H. Courier still flying? (I live in Europe, however i`m a big fan of this forum, especially pics are interesting)

Which popular bush plane have lowest landing speed? I mean common, popular type, not fancy experimental like 1000 HP 650 Sherpa.
thanks

Gentlemen,
which a/c will be comfortably go to/out of 1600 ft grass rwy at sea level? Summer temps max 25-30 C. Max 6 person incl. pilot and fuel for return 100 nm. There`s no obstacles both ends, just rye. Heard rumour PC12 can do it, is it true?
cheers

Is it true that Goose drivers never set more than 25 MP with RPM less than 2100 because engine life? What about Beaver 29/1900 , 28/1800 . Engines are the same.

Porter...such a good STOL capabilities and only few in Canada, strange

Just for curious: is any GA aircraft (non helicopter) able to take off at SPRF elev. 14423 ft and land at Sea Level at 100 ft runway?

What is Beaver on wheels basic empty weight?

Found this, At maximum landing weight (carrying more weight in its cargo bay than the entire weight of a C-130), a C-17 has a landing approach speed of around 109 kts. It can land on a 90ft wide dirt runway at that weight in 2,500 feet. yeah I found it too, somebody quoting another guy, strange if ...

Hello, The biggest bush plane :P seems very mysterious, I`v tried to find exactly info about famous low speeds on approach and landing and without success. I don`t think that is classified information , sure Cold War is ended:-) Rather it is so huge range on speeds with various weight and conditions...

Where -4`s are fire bombing? in Spain?

I`m not familiar with C-17, but 70 knots, even 100, sound like science-fiction. I think this kind of bird doing 115-120 low weights, and much more with MTOW. Any input from military guys will be appreciated.

I don`t believe that, so how many knots will be near empty? 50?

Just curious : what is the biggest plane with slowest approach speed? Martin Waterbomber?
