Dead Stick Takeoff AND Landing


This pilot shows off his gliding skills (and big cojones) by pushing his powered aircraft off a 1,500 foot high cliff without starting the engine then sailing 2 miles down to a sand bar in a canyon somewhere. You can clearly see one propeller blade stationary during the flight before he starts the engine up after landing. Any guess where this might have taken place?
