That truck was tripping me out for a second.
Love the sound of the raydial engines
Beautiful sound
Great close-up shot of the launch and takeoff, this Beaver looks perfect in this green liver. Hope they had a good trip up North, and lots of fun summer float flying.
What a beautiful plane.
Beautiful plane, great video
Beavers sound like what airplanes are supposed to sound like
Pretty soon it will be all electric.
That depends. Only RADIAL Beavers sound like airplanes are supposed to sound like. Turboprops sound like, well,.................................
Absolutely fantastic! It is on my bucket list. Cheers
Awesome!
Thanks!
Superb Video!

Thanks!
Incredible video! That was a very low pass over the road!
Haha, yes it was pretty low.
Very good movie mate!!. Excellent maneuver to place the seaplane on the water!!. Thanks for upload it.
Awesome video 👍
👍
Thanks for sharing this high quality video.
No more seaplanes in my home country after several incidents....
Which country?
@@VMCAviationVideos Oops sorry. I am from Germany.
Great
Thanks!
Very nice. The Okanagan is a wonderful area. My folks lived in OK Falls at the south end of Skaha Lake for decades. Penticton airport used to be a busy place with Boeing 737's making regular flights at one time. Kelowna kind of took over in that regard. Fortunate to have such a calm day for launch. There's often a strong south west wind (prevailing) blowing up the lake. I was surprised to see a take off to the north! South end of airport runway only a couple hundred yards north of the highway.
Not sure why he took off to the north ❓
@@VMCAviationVideos Such a calm day that I don't think it mattered. He would have been talking to the Penticton Airport controller for clearance I reckon. Destination was north, so it would make sense that was his choice, wind conditions permitting.
@@MikeSiemens88 I agree, he was going north and he also had to warm up the engine.
@@VMCAviationVideos The long taxi would allow him to go thru checklist items as well.
This looks like penticton
at 1.26 i see a 1/2 truck or i drink not enough ?
I have built a couple of these launch truck setups , 4 wheel drive transfer case to front wheel drive , weld the frame to the front of the truck add couple little wheels .
How do you conduct an engine run up on water and check magnetos?
Same as on land
@@VMCAviationVideos
But you cannot apply brakes on water, unless you are tight up. Wouldn’t you just start a take-off run at 2400 RPM?
@Westerly Winds I watched one video where he did his magneto checks at an extremely low rpm.
1:24 wha... you cut the back off the truck.
Sorry
Barely could see the takeoff!
Wait, why is there half a truck, I'm confused...lol
To move seaplanes around 😄
I wouldn't launch my boat in any way that wonkey and it's all welded aluminum, that said the beaver is probably better built than my boat!
1:26 WTH why the back of a truck is gone!??!
Hard to maneuver if you have 3 axles
@@VMCAviationVideos I have built a couple of this style of launch trucks , I myself like using solid front axle vs torsion suspension , I built one from a 82 Dodge K-car I think it is still used on Sprout Lake .
this is the most midlife crisis video i've ever seen
Haha 👍
Too bad we didn't get to see it take off. Boooo
