Bearhawk 4: The Ultimate Backcountry Machine?

Some airplanes are built to travel. Some are built to work. And some are built to go places where most airplanes simply can’t. In this episode of Airplane Alchemy, we’re taking a look at the Bearhawk 4, one of the most respected homebuilt backcountry aircraft flying today. Designed by Bob Barrows, the Bearhawk combines impressive useful load, rugged construction, short takeoff and landing performance, and true cross-country capability into a single package. With room for four people, powerful engine options, and the ability to operate from rough strips, gravel bars, and remote airfields, many pilots consider the Bearhawk 4 to be one of the best all-around backcountry aircraft ever designed. ⚠️Disclaimer Listings are provided for informational purposes only.
