- Alaska backcountry, an aviators dream adventure! Visited Talkeetna, McCarthy, Kennecott Mine, Forest Service Cabins - Italio River, Jake's Bar, May Creek, Peavine, and numerous glaciers including Hubbard Glacier.
Five+ onboard cameras rolling to give you as much scenery as possible. Two GoPro Max 360 cameras allow for an "out of airplane" experience. This was a dream trip that we wanted to record for our own memory but hope we can entertain you to a degree as well...maybe even entice you to experience the same adventure yourself.

Great flying, planes, commentary, videoing, scenery and WEATHER! Loved this. Thank-you.

Lived there in the 80's, loved it. It was the most interesting and beautiful place I've ever lived.
Yes, it truly is a unique and beautiful place.
Thanks for sharing Americas most beautiful scenery
You're welcome and thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

Very interesting n great scenery
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video.
Awesome video, guys. Would love to take my homebuilt to Alaska when I finish it!
Thank you. Hope you're successful.
Great video with beautiful footage, really enjoyed it. I too was in Alaska coming a long way with my RV-8 and did pass some of the same spots like Dawson and Talkeetna. It is so much safer flying with two airplanes. You were lucky with the weather as I remember around June 22 the weather in the South of Alaska turned ugly.
Thank you! Yes, we were beyond fortunate.
Beautifully done. Loved the video ❤
Thank you and thanks for watching.
What a beautiful trip. The logistics in planning must be extensive. Lots of "what ifs" to worry about.
Lots of planning was done for sure but there was never any worry. Our pilots always had access to solid information and worked perfectly together to make sound decisions.
!!!!!!!!!!!
welch ein abenteuer...viel spass und genug luft unter den flügeln...so wunderschöne aufnahmen...sind solche flüge sehr anstrengend ?...habt ihr ne heizung in der kabine,,,und pampers ?...wie sind die segeleigenschaften dieser flugzeuge, wenn der motor ausfällt ?
Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video. Flights are only tiring when you fly long distances...maybe 5 hrs at a time. Yes, there is heat in the cabin. If the engine fails you can glide short distances, depends entirely on how high you're flying.
Awesome Vid! I noticed that you used the Sentry portable on this trip. Did it work well in the remote areas?
Glad you enjoyed it; thanks for watching. The Sentry worked flawlessly where ever we flew.
Thats my kinda woods lol
Glad you enjoyed the video!
How is the camera behind the tail of the Bearhawk attached?
At the 11:01 mark of the video you get a good look at the tail camera boom/mount. The Max360 is just under his elbow. At the 7:00 minute mark you get a good look at the front boom mounted Max 360 camera.
Great....thanks for the prompt reply.
Is all of Alaska settled now and does it all get snowed on in winter time ? Australian !
We were only in the very southeast corner of Alaska. I believe that the majority of Alaska is still wild and unsettled. Yes, all of AK will see snow in winter.
The voiceover is kimda brutal. Looks like a fun trip tho
It is exactly what I expected and wanted to hear. You mind your manners.
Yes, awesome trip. Sorry you didn't appreciate the extra info...can't please everyone. Cheers though.
Great video! How did the two different planes match up for speed’s?
Beautiful videos my family loves them. CAN T BELIEVE TOU NEED A PERMIT TO HAVE A A GUN FOR PROTECTION. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR PEOPLE IN CHARGE OR JUST NOT PAY ATTEBTION TO SUCH STUPID
LAWS.
Thank you and so glad you enjoy them. Yes, silly rules/laws.
Your narration sounds like Dick Proenneke
Is that a good or bad thing? 😂 This is funny as I’ve actually watched his videos a number of times. It wasn’t intentional though.
@@rickhiebert7352 It's absolutely a good thing. I've never been so mesmerized by a voice as I have by his. On the other hand, I've never felt less like a man than when I watch his videos. I've actually been to his cabin on Upper Twin twice and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.
Well thanks then, lol. I totally hear you about admiring Dick’s strength and talent. Definitely humbling. When I was in my 20’s I dreamt of doing what he did.
@@rickhiebert7352 as do I. Alas, life gets in the way. I don’t anticipate being able to live like he did. Sigh

There are plenty of non-white people who own airplanes. Troll
