    Float flying is some of the best. Man, what a magical few days that was! Very cool to be behind the camera and just document all you guys enjoying it so much. Very much looking forward to the next videos! Throttle On!

    Moose are powerful swimmers and can cross every major river in Alaska including the Yukon.
    Once on my sailboat on a lake near Fairbanks, my wife and I returning to dock after the wind died in the evening, we're startled by a massive bull surfacing next to our boat. He had been on the lake bottom grazing on lake grass.
    Wooooosh!!!! I thought he was a dang submarine. My wife screamed as the sea monster surfaced. We laughed so hard.

    Just a quick note, I've just recently stumbled upon your channel, and both you and Chelsea I hope will be an inspiration to my oldest granddaughter. She and I used to hang out at the local airport when she was a toddler; I later corrupted her, taking her on her first flight. She now will be attending a community college to earn her A&P beginning this fall.
    She hopes to learn to fly; I hope to contribute with my Cherokee 140 (with a 160 Hp STC and PowerFlow Short Stack).
    Thanks for putting these videos online.

    Taking a late night canoe ride in the daylight lol. I don't know if I could get used to that but I'd try. The company that I work for has assets from the North Slope down to Kenai, all over. I've never been there though. If I ever go I have a lot of places that I'll want to see thanks to you. Seaplanes look like fun. Not much instrumentation... just good ole VFR. Well done!

    Josh,
    been watching your videos since before I was even a student pilot. Now, with my MEI checkride coming up in a couple days, and the stress that comes with checkride prep looming, you manage to keep me motivated, helping me remember why I fell in love with aviation in the first place. Thank you for that, sir!

    Thank you for the video. As I battle the C19 'thing' gives me someone to watch and enjoy. My first float plane trip was in Maine 50+ years ago. Flew into a paper mill cabin / lodge. We also saw a moose swimming across a lake. One of the best fishing / trips in books. Take care - be safe.

Bought a summer place up there and got one of my Super cubs up there in Willow. Flew the SC up there all summer! 1st year up there. Awesome. Thanks for the video. Also did Alaska floats and ski's back country school a few years ago. Did you guys get Don to fire up the pizza oven?

    Watched this on my living room TV and some parts were really quiet while others were really loud. Like When he would push to talk on the radio. Josh I hope you normalize your audio a bit better for part three. Looking forward to it.

    • @Aviation101
      @Aviation101  Před 2 lety +7

      All Audio tracks were completely normalized on the dB across the video to -2 dB, but the radio was very over-modulated in that airplane, so it makes it sounds very loud. Some smart TVs compensate with volume based on that modulation, and it's annoying. I'll see what I can do in Part 3 to alleviate that. Thanks for the feedback!!

    • @NickzAndMikz

    Josh. I’m a huge supporter and fan. I “Like” everything you do and watch most of them many times. I learn a lot from you. BUT, you tout yourself as this professional filmmaker and you can’t even manage your equipment? This is not the first time. Your audio often sucks outside of the plane and often in it. Your Aviation CZcams colleagues regularly post great videos with high quality and great audio, yet they don’t claim to be filmmakers, and they don’t have as many screw ups as you do.
    You are a great pilot and instructor. It’s clear that you want to be a videographer/filmmaker. But please learn the craft and become a practiced expert before you add that in your credentials and intro to your videos. You are not yet a filmmaker, but you are getting there. I offer this with love and respect.

    Now teach them to identify a front window, you know, the thing to look out to see where you are going, instead of being obsessed and distracted and exterior blinded by their black dial instruments and ADBS enabled tablet and GPS arrow and radio. I can't tell you how many pilots I've taken a ride with who at some time stopped looking out their window where they were going.
    As an aerobatic quad copter pilot, if I take my eyes off the front view, I crash.
    Why are you looking at a moose. Forget the moose. Keep your eyes on the road and where you're going....
