The mesas and cliffs north and east of Hurricane Utah as well as Sand Hollow Reservoir. One of the mesas is named Hurricane Mesa which was used for Cold War tests of rocket ejection seats for supersonic aircraft at the Hurricane Supersonic Research Site.

    Very fun! Missed some of that scenery, wish I was there for the "Tuesday Afternoon" flight. Say what was that going by at 3:41? Hawk?  I see what you mean about the low pass over sky ranch. Great flying with you guys!

    That was amazing! Incredible scenery. I particularly like the low pass over the strip, and at the edge of the mesa, it just drops off.

    Hey Ken, I took a single frame of the video and blew up part of it. I uploaded it to Hurricane Mesa photo album. It ain't no hawk!!!

    You did a great job showing off the wonderful area I enjoy flying. Wish I could have gone out with you on that flight. Loved the footage of "monkey jump" the ejection seat testing sight.
