Wild West Aircraft SuperSTOL (Short Take Off and Land) shows us how to have fun flying in the desert. Automatically retracting slats on the wing leading edge, and huge fowler flaps on the back allow this bird to literally drop into tiny mountain crevices.

Folding wings for storage, oversize landing gear, large windows and cargo space make this airplane a backwoodsman's dream. Gets off the ground in 250 ft and still flies at 100mph. Where do I sign up?
