GIANTS in the EARTH!
Taken from Genesis, "GIANTS in the EARTH" describes "Ross Creek Cedars" located in Northwest Montana.
Some of these huge trees could have been seedlings when Columbus sailed the Caribbean and were young trees when America was born!
To walk among these Giants is very humbling.
Please enjoy our show with a cameo appearance by me and a grandson...

I have found that sometimes the greatest experiences that happen to me, happen by "chance!" Planning is nice, but sponetaneous activities are R E A L, and the most enjoyable. A Chance Meeting with a couple of Kayakers, led to a discovery that we had similar experiences. We were all Veterans of rafting or kayaking the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Here the boys enter the Kootenai Rive...

One of the advantages of sitting in a window seat on a commercial plane, is that you can observe many interesting sights, both on the ground and "in-the-air!" As a content creator, I always look for perspectives that are interesting and different. SEA TAC, Seattle-Tacoma Airport in Washington State, is a busy place as you will see here. Planes are coming and going all the time. On this trip, it...
SMOOTH LANDING AT SPOKANE!

Some months ago, I published a video here with an explanation of what I entitled a HARD LANDING AT SPOKANE. In my expeerience, it was a less-than-great landing at Spokane International Airport! The jarring impact made people gasp. That video was taken from the RIGHT side of the plane, which gave a great view and experience, including chasing our shadow to the ground! The video generated thousan...

HORSES IN PORTUGAL! A new video. The elements of this show was were recorded almost two years ago. I never finished producing a video out of them because the needed materials like proper music and a good opener just were either not available or had not been selected. Recently, I came across “prancing music” that added to the antics of the horses. I picked an opening slide and proceeded to put t...

Landing at J F K New York!

NEW VIDEO: LANDING AT J F K NEW YORK! J F K is probably one of the busiest airports in the US, perhaps in the whole world. I love flying and have produced numerous flying videos, with more to come. When out of the Army, I bought a Cessna 150, which turned out to be my training airplane all the way through my commercial ticket. It also became my commuter plane for some twenty years and was used ...
Night Landing at SEA TAC!

Night Flying is often spectacular. Flying over oceans and sparsley populated land areas is pretty tame. But flying over cities and towns gives a "Christmas-Tree-like" look to everything. Here, the airplane approaches the Seattle/Tacoma Airport in Washington State from the south, and makes a night landing. The air is smooth as glass, and as the aircraft drops down towards the ground, everything ...

Takeoff from Salt Lake City Airport SLC
Weak arms and a weak grip on your part does not mean a hard landing.
@@jeremyimes6734 That's one of the best "excuses" for sloppy piloting I have heard!! Sorry, it won't "fly!" The startled gasps of passengers gives it away. I suggest you view my other landing videos and compare!
I grew up in Spokane (the Northwest part of town). Seeing 5 Mile, Shadle Park, and other landmarks I haven't seen in a while was fun.
Ignore the comments, it was a hard landing (in the view of a passenger), yes, and it may have been uncomfortable. And I’m sure you understand that it was safe regardless.
“Retard….Retard….dammit RETARD!”
Ouch. That hurt to watch that. 😮😮 Use to live in Spokane. 👍. Winters 👎 . Overall 95 out of 100.
yeah, that was a firm landing, we see alot of those at GEG.
Yeah commercial airline pilots are trained not to land hard. It’s not NAM and it’s not some moth balled aircraft carrier that you tools play simulator on… the landing pilot will get some training….
Hahahaha! Landing seemed fine
Looks strange landing on the other Runway.
@@jonandabbymurkins9434 Yes, that is the truth, isn't it? The perspectives change!!
@@halscharn3325 yes they do
LOL...."hard landing"....LOL.
Looked good to me. Try landing on CVN 78, Now that’s a hard landing.
Look carefully. The plane is flying backwards.
Navy pilot...
another safe landing
It's simple. Navy pilot. Every F-4C transferred from the Navy to USAF to become the RF-4C had cracked bezels on the instruments.
Probably was a Aircraft Carrier!
that wasn't hard!
@@LobodArcis I would recommend viewing my other video "Landing at J F K New York" and make a comparison!
@@halscharn3325 been in the air since I was 5, gliders at 14. Hard landing is when the tires or landing gear needs attention.
Did you walk away from it? If you did, then don't be sniveling.
A dollar to a donut - this guy was a Naval Aviator.
Main thing...they made it. Safely! ❤
Spokane a nice place to be from!
Never seen the shadow effect ,pretty cool reminded me of typical RC plane landing lol
nothing special. The 737 can and has to do this in crosswind conditions to be planted firmly on the ground.
A good landing is when everyone walks away, a great landing is when the plane can be used again.
I flew for 37 years, 25 of those with a major airline. Was it a smooth landing? No. Was it a SAFE landing? YES. Was it a hard landing? No, not in my opinion. It was very firm, I'll give you that. Also notice the aircraft landed right on the one thousand foot markers, perfect. BTW, that A+P doesn't know what he's talking about, at least when it comes to planes of this size..
Exactly. Read this if anyone is confused about this video. 👍
@@9deebee I would suggest viewing my other video .... "Landing at J F K New York" and compare. It was so smooth it was almost imperceptible.
I agree with 9deebee. I too flew for 39 years in transport category aircraft (B727, 737, 757, 777 and A320 family). This may have been a firm landing. However, looking at the wings banking back and forth leads me to believe there were gusty winds at the time. Even though the crew probably had an airspeed additive to counter the gusts, I believe the wind died down right at the start of the flare. Firm landing. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. One other item, this appears to be an E175 regional jet. There may have been a relatively low time pilot making this landing. How else does he or she gain experience? And that A&P sounds like he has never worked on transport category aircraft. None of what he says is close to being true. These aircraft are designed to cruise where the temps are -60F or colder.
Hi Hal, I actually fly this airplane with this airline and into GEG now and again. The A & P explanation is complete conjecture. A nice way to say it's false. I don't know if you have a good memory of your time in GA, but I imagine you had a few hard landings there. Our goal, not that it exists in our operations manual, is to make smooth landings. It's just a personal goal and shared by most pilots-depending on circumstance. For instance, icy runway and short runways can change that goal. So, as humans, not everything is or can be perfect 100% of the time. As such, all pilots tap the runway harder than we intend every now and again. That doesn't mean we require further training in making smooth landings. It means we put our tail between our legs and strive for improvement the next time. Also, our company tracks hard landings (Yes, there is an actual definition.) and follows up with the pilot group-terribly sorry they did not follow up with you. Hope this explanation helps a little. I'm sorry you had to be on board during one of the few times things didn't go as planned during the nanosecond the wheels touched the runway. As pilots, we know this is how we are judged. How did the rest of the flight go?
You are too kind. I am amazed at what pilots do. Thank you for all the safe flights!
@@billkeenan1085 The flight was fine. The landing was a surprise as I was filming and got tossed around! Be sure to check out my other take off and landing vids on my channel!!! When I was flying I had my share of learning experiences. But as I got more professional, the work got more and more easy. Thanks for your nice comments!
Ive flown to this airport many times, mostly on ATR-72's, the runway is a dead north/south runway that sits on an elevated knoll which makes it very exposed to crosswinds. The last time i flew into there, the crosswinds were so strong that just before touchdown the planes left wing was just inches off the runway until the pilot corrected the plane and literally slammed the plane on the runway! Yes it was very scary but in the end i got to shake the pilots hands and commend them for their awesome skills.
don't look for flying expertise from a grease monkey! what a bunch of hogwash. as for the landing, we are all new at some point and get better with practice. you get plenty of that flying scheduled airline service.
Looked pretty good to me 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 It's always somebody with zero flying skills commenting about pilot skills. Just sayin' 🦜🦜
@@daveblevins3322 Funny how different people view the same things and come to diverse conclusions. Zero flying skills? My instructors would find that comment laughable!
Thanks, I'm sure the critique of a FORMER g/a pilot on landing a part 121 airplane by a crew with 1000's of hours more than you, means alot.
@@jeffreysantos8728 It means nothing in and of itself. However, the landing WAS hard enough to make passengers gasp, hence a reason for the video! Flying is flying, regardless of size of the plane. One is only as good as one's last landing!
@@jeffreysantos8728 I suggest you have a look at our video "Landing at J F K" and see what a smooth landing looks like!
DEI landing. Was never very good at it but we need the check mark ✔️ in the box.
Stop the BS. You have no idea who was flying. This happened to me even with over 25,000 hours of flying.
Please reinstalled the fillings back in your teeth.
After flying 3+ combat tours as an enlisted aircrew member in 'Nam this is how I look at flying. Board airplane: ALIVE. Disembark airplane after touchdown: ALIVE. WINNER!
Thank you. By the way, in flight meals? Don't complain, mine were C Rations. Got shot out of the sky on a C47 over the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos on 98th combat mission. BEST pilot in the world made a great crash landing and was rescued, so any type of flying for me is pure LUXURY!
A firm landing, but perfectly acceptable. Nice video!
Great video, looks like fun was had by all.
Pyuck! That was one of my better landings...
It was a hard landing for sure, but as it has been said many times, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
It's always good just to touch down.
right - aggressive but solid. It's the bouncy cross wind landings that give me the heebeegeebees...
That wasn't really hard. I was a flight engineer on an Air Force C-130 that broke the entire right wing off on landing. It was a might bit of a firm touch down
At least no risk of an overrun. No flare at all, just a power on landing. Boom. Reverse thrust. You here. Prolly a ex-navy guy that forgot he was flying a bus.
Your Shadow did not get larger (technically it became smaller - the further the object is from the light source the smaller the shadow). It appears bigger to you because you were closer to it - as any object seems bigger the closer you get to it. I am an old pilot (42 years as a pilot) and not every landing is what you want (every one is different - different weather - temp, wind, traffic, etc, but a safe landing is what you want and shoot for on every landing.
True, but the light source is 93 million miles away. By the time the light rays reach Earth they're as good as parallel. Whether you're at 30,000 feet or 30 feet, your shadow won't be a measurably different size.
@johnopalko5223 no, as you get closer to where the shadow is reflecting off of, your shadow WILL get larger. One of my great memories is landing at dawn (757 at BOS and 777 at LHR on Rwy 27L). As you get closer to the ground you will see your shadow in front of you, and it will get larger until you touch down. And your shadow will be visible ahead of you. You can't miss it!
Cross winds are a bitch in Western Washington - nothing to be alarmed about
Wasn’t the pilots fault. Not the copilots fault. It was the asphalt.
Thank You Hal, I saw you came in on runway 21.
Planted like a pro!
sincerly next year iuf there ifu can record fulll show form same spot would be great
nice video ty som uch
I work at GEG. This is a typical approach into Runway 21 from the northeast, coming over downtown Spokane, and into the normal winds for the airport. Obviously a morning arrival, based on the shadow and the flight attendant's arrival time announcement. Rewatching the touchdown a few times, my guess is that an ex-Navy officer was PIC, as they have a tendency to land "right now" compared to USAF pilots, who tend more to "float" the plane onto the runway.
@@RustySax1949 Thank you for posting! You are likely correct! Happy landings to you!
Force of habit. Totally agree!
O U C H ......😮😮😮😮
Spectacular
Fantastic video❤
@@ValPatchen Thank you so much for the kind words! There is lots of work involved and when people enjoy it, it makes it all worthwhile!! Thank you for commenting!!
You were very near us, we were in front of Log Building same side.
@@ValPatchen Yes I was. When I film or photograph, my full focus is on the action, the perspectives and giving myself overlap on videos! During breaks I talk to people as they are always enjoyable! Thank you for commenting!
