    Glad to see the new owner of 3KQ flying and doing good things with the airplane! That Kodiak and I have been able to share a few adventures together.

    Bad idea to conduct the owner interview on board the plane with heavy radio traffic disturbing the listeners' ability to follow the dialogue.

    Old video and Allen might not own this aircraft anymore, but is there a way to get in contact with him to talk Kodiak ownership? There's not much on here about real world numbers (even though I have an idea).

    None of those islanders seemed to be starving at all. They drive better cars than me and they were not needing much it seemed. I was so worried about those people but now I can rest easy knowing that they have all their needs met and more. I hope all the corruption got washed out along with their old houses.

      WET SIDE = ...in the boat... be it the one previous, or the DARKSIDE, or ''wutever comes after it'' .... a 4 engine albetross SEAPLANE that has been reoutfitted as a FLOATING RV ???? :) eh... gotta have dreams and gold... err goals... lol

    @garylucas6511 5 лет назад

    Just an FYI... The air traffic control audio was not only too loud but, covered up a lot of the conversation to the point that I could not understand some of the in-flight conversation. Otherwise, great video!

  • @epicbagelswag
    @epicbagelswag 3 года назад

    Was fortunate enough to be able to work on and fix a Cherokee 6 so the customer could fly supplies in to the Bahamas. I think all of us from south FL hold a special place in our hearts for the Bahamians. It felt good knowing I got to help somehow.

Hats off to everyone for flying around the “red tape” and going directly to the people in need. Safe skies ! 🇺🇸🛫
