    That overhead shot of the floatplane was mesmerizing. Great videography as usual.

      I flew on a float plane in Alaska decades ago . I liked the flight a lot .

    Wow! I grew up in Anchorage and worked at UPS there at the airport. Two or three days a week, I would would take my lunch over to Lake Hood and watch planes. I also had a cabin 30 miles north of Talkeetna by train on the Susitna river. This brings back great memories of home. A home that I loved. I just bought a Cessna 172 and I’m in the middle of flight lessons. One day, I will return home and fly there. Thanks for this great video. Looking foreword to part 2.

    Like a lot of folks, my only familiarity with Alaska is via cable TV shows like Ice Road Trucker, Alaska Railroad, etc., so I at least recognize some of the place names. Glad to see you're still finding interesting trips to make, Josh :)

    Just got my pilots license in 2018, flew from Texas, visited my sister in Palmer, rented a plane in Willow and took a CFI with me. Did my first actual soft field take off and landing on snow. All my training at KTPL, so all my soft field work was simulated on asphalt. Got to fly over the glaciers. Also did the same thing from Palmer airport and got intro training in mountain flying. Crazy beautiful experience. One of my most relaxed landings and it was on friggin snow.

    Don Lee is such a cool guy. I've had him as a DPE for 3 checkrides (Instrument, Commercial, Seaplane) and he's so laid back that he makes the ride fun, and although a DPE isn't supposed to teach, he is full of wisdom and little tidbits of information that make flying safer and more fun. I look forward to doing my CFI with him soon.

  • @jcaps76
    @jcaps76 5 лет назад +1

    I did my SES with Don Lee back in 2006. He was only operating 1 tri-pacer (N8033D) at the time. It was the most fun flying/training experience ever. Looks like his operation has grown exponentially. Cheers!

    Epic! I've lived in Alaska since 1969 and I love the place. I always enjoy seeing it through the eyes of those who don't live here, and Josh has done a spectacular job of conveying the spirit of Alaska and what makes this state so special. Thank you Josh.

    Ahh, Talkeetna! "The Quaint Little Drinking Village With A Climbing Problem" (basecamp town for most parties ascending Mount Denali). I was one of the volunteers who recovered the SB-17 (44-85505) crash site north of Talkeetna in July 2010, to bring the parts back to Grimes Field, Ohio for our B-17 (44-85813) "historic re-creation" project.

    5:11 Josh's first try.
    ...maybe we can all turn this into a meme(?). I mean I'm not a pilot, but I'll do my best to help pass it along through cyberspace.

    Wow! You sure are getting around these days Josh. I have never been to Alaska but I think it's an incredible part of our Country, based on what I have read and several TV shows I have seen that are shot in Alaska. What a fantastic place for GA, right? So....when are you going to do some flying around Europe?? lol. I look forward to this series. Your talent with videography plus the incredible natural beauty of Alaska are a match made in heaven.

    Josh, I've been watching you for a long time. I loved the "not training" videos, the long-form raw "just you flying around texas" stuff, the cross-country trips, and love the cinematic film-making that you've been doing since the re-brand; like this video here. Fantastic work on all fronts sir. Congratulations on a very successful channel.

I'm sure you know how I feel. I just wish I had the money and the time to get up there. X-plane 11 will have to do. Great vid as always. Your productions are top notch!
