Most Americans will never get around to visiting Alaska, so the views are new for us too.
Callie, I understand. I'm Brazilian and whenever I went abroad, people kept asking me about the Amazon rainforest. I had to explain to them that Brazil is a HUGE country with a lot of different climates and landscapes (even occasional snow in the nontropical South), that most of the population lives several thousand miles from the Amazon, that to most Brazilians the Amazon feels as exotic and distant as it is to foreigners, that most Brazilians have never seen the Amazon rainforest up close and probably never will, and that asking most Brazilians about the Amazon is like asking a New Yorker about the Grand Canyon.
Alaska's cool you should go.
The same can be said for inland Australia. Most Australians barely leave the city, with 80% of the population spread between Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, and will never see Uluru or Coober Pedy, and other places far inland.
@@arokh72 If I lived in Oz it would be the Perth area.
Firm landings on the wet runways to avoid hydroplaning Noel. Standard procedure.
Not only wet but short.
Plant it firm & quick. 👍
With someone who flies as much as he does, I am shocked he does not know this. "hard landing" is usually the best landing.
@@SlavGuns of course he'll know this ,it makes the video better saying what he did ,right noel ?
Yup short runways too. Gotta get that thing stopped :)
Noel: "Last stop for today: Petersburg, Alaska. It is very different from St. Petersburg in ..."
Me: "Russia"
Noel: "Florida"
Me: -.-
Me: Leningrad, CCCP
or : Virginia
@@nathanalbright wait we have a St Petersburg?
@@greyfiveys No, Virginia, like Alaska, has a Petersburg. No Saint in front of it, though.
@@nathanalbright ahh
I personally think that the Alaska livery is one of the best out there!
When I was little I thought it was a smiling guy with an Afro
It’s Chester!
No,its ryanair!
I always thought it was Che Guevara lol....
I used to see them a lot when I lived in the Portland area growing up. We lived under the approach path for KPDX and my dad used to work for Horizon which operates under Alaska Airlines. Always been a good looking livery. I remember playing outside of my house I could see the tail pretty clearly.
15:48 "Minging".
Every once in a while on Noel's channel, I pick up a new British word I didn't know before.
Pretty much means disgusting.
Now do the Pacific island hopper on United’s 737, it’s 8 hours!
Aloha from Hawai'i! This "milk run" trip forceably brings back memories of taking the "island hopper" across Micronesia from Honolulu to Yap. 7 take-offs and landings! No need for deicing there, though. Fun video.
I'm actually a bit surprised that Juneau is "only" on the 58th degree when I live on the 59th here in Norway, and that's pretty far south. It's always like that, I look at USA and see Alaska and think it's oh so far north, but compared to my country it really isn't. But having the gulfstream run along our coast sure makes for a different climate.
It's far north considering they have freaking LA and Florida in the same country smh
Not that it applies to Juneau, but just having an ocean is a huge help. When I lived in Minneapolis, at about 45, I had friends in Bodo (67) and points north, and it was consistently colder in Minneapolis in the winter. Like the daily mean in Minneapolis is -9C and in Bodo, -1. (Juneau is -2) And Minneapolis is warm for Minnesota.
@@nmpls My friend lives on Kodiak Island and it gets colder in the winter where I live in Kansas City than it does up there since he's right by the ocean.
Just remember Juneau is consider part of South-East Alaska :) While our north cape only beats Norway's by a tiny amount (point barrow is 71.38 degrees north where Nordkapp is 71.16) you are definitely right that the gulfstream does Norway a lot of favors. Having grown up in both places, Alaska is generally cooler and colder at similar latitudes. Swimming in the ocean is a no-go year round, ice keeps the north coast inaccessible for the half the year, etc.
@DrScopeify my dad i drove his new suv from MN to Anchorage over new years. Doable if you drive safely and have AWD or studs. gorgeous country and no tourists was a nice bonus!
Seeing those amazing views flying up to Anchorage shows what a true wilderness Alaska is just outside of the towns, it must rank as one the last un-spoilt regions of the Earth.
such a beautiful region love to visit
“Stephens passage was extremely bumpy...” 😏😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
da fak :D
75% of the flight is empty. Still has a seat mate in his row.
20:15 Alaska themselves used to be 100% Boeing, Horizon operated the Dashes and E-Jets. When they bough Virgin America that sort of broke though
They plan to return to an all-Boeing mainline fleet, they can’t just get rid of the Airbus’ when there’s still lease contracts on em
@@Madcapolo i hope the max makes them rethink that strategy and go to the a220/neo's or at a minimum keep a mixed fleet
@Brummiewellington that, and Alaska is based in Seattle and is fiercely locally proud. Ditching Boeing would sink the company
@@bobbyaiyer7917 Definitely would not sink the company as AS monopolize key routes or is a dominate player on said routes. If AS chooses Airbus over Boeing, it would certainly hurt Boeing's reputation even more. Delta, the only other dominate airlines out of Seattle, bought a lot of Airbus aircraft into sky above Seattle...
@@_w_w_ from a locals' perspective... the negative PR of abandoning Boeing (assuming Boeing can get its act together some time soon) negates any sort of strength - not even a monopoly - along key West Coast routes. It's Seattleites, not New Yorkers, that do the flying out here, and this is a Boeing town
Flying in Alaska is some of my very favorite. I’ve had the lucky chance to fly with Everts Air Cargo on their C-46, Dc-9 and MD-80 freighters to such places as Bethel, King Salmon and Anaktuvak Pass. I tried flying on a Dc-6 but unfortunately we had engine problems and had to do a gate return. Other favorite memories include jumpseating a C-130 with Lynden Air Cargo and flying on a B737-200 with NAC to Barrow.
Fantastic video and I wish you many more AK adventures!
-Jay
This must surely rank as one if your best and the most interesting videos. Really enjoyed your tour round the town and all the beautiful scenery. Thank you xx
One of the avgeek dream routes, and essential to SE Alaskan communities. I always enjoyed taking the milk run when I lived in Ketchikan. I do miss the -200 combis on this route though!
Bryan's Travel Videos The 200’s were great airplanes all but one of Alaskas was gravel kitted.
I only landed on gravel once in a 737 but that was a Northern Air Cargo flight into St Mary’s
This reminded me of your trip to the Himalayas. It also brought back to mind that trip you did to small communities in Northern Norway. Really enjoyed the punning. Looking forward to what you and your team come up with in the Coronavirus hiatus.
Doing the Wrangell to Petersburg leg on a nice day is like flightseeing in a 737.
Thank you Noel - really enjoyed the vid - the dialogue - the stunning scenery, much appreciated. 🙏👍
The “Proudly All Boeing” titles predate their acquisition of Virgin America
But it's on the new livery which was added after
@@Aviation18 They did have the new livery before they bought out VA. VA was bought out in 2018 and I have personally seen the new livery in 2017.
They need to get rid of it because it isn’t accurate anymore. You can even see AS Airbuses at the beginning of the video
Yeah, I worked with Alaska at AUS. I commented on it as well, and apparently, when they transfer the liveries now, they *are* getting rid of the "Proudly All Boeing" things.
Alaska® just this week released their intentions to quit using their Airbus equipment completely IN the year 2025.They will take in more of the problematic 737MAX equipment, directly from Boeing®.
Absolutely beautiful scenery got to put this flight on my bucket list
Add the flight to Fairbanks to the list and do the drive south including the Denali Highway (it’s a dirt road) and you’ve got one heck of a good Alaska trip.
Come during the summer, stay for a while and try flying on the smaller airlines. The short hop from Anchorage to kenai is amazing Or take a two and a half hour flight to the Dutch harbor. You should also book a flight on one of the float plane companies flying out of lake Hood have them fly you up to Denali you won't be disappointed.
I'm sure the pilots "plant or drop" in to those runways because they are probably not very long. Don't want to float.
My fiancé is from Alaska, so I showed her this video and she quickly became very nostalgic. She loved it as much as I did. Very amazing video! I also saw the video with the drones in Frankfort and you trying to get to Seattle so you could record this video. I do not know how you function on so little sleep! Amazing videos - thank you so much for sharing!
Finaly saw the video! It was a pleasure to be your inflight crew, and I am so grateful the skies were clear for your adventure on the milk run. It really was one of the best views I have seen in 6 years of flying. You did a great job capturing the day.
Cheers
-Tanya
Thank you so much for watching! It was an incredible trip, one of the most enjoyable I’ve done by a long stretch. Hopefully will be back again to do it all again in the summer at some point! Maybe see you guys onboard again soon! Thanks for the incredible trip.
Thank you for doing this! This was something Ive wanted to do ever since I was a kid, cant wait to plan this milk run trip in the near future! :D
So glad you’re still uploading. I was wondering what would happen with the current ‘lock downs’ but I expect you have a few videos in reserve. Thanks Noel, those views were stunning.
I got to live in Anchorage for around 2 months in the summer of 2018. This video brought back so many good memories!!! Alaska truly is an incredible place and unlike anywhere else.
Such a fun flight...great scenery...thank’s Noel! ✈️
Your content is exceptional . This is why I love aviation
You have one of the best aviation related channels. keep on doing the great work. Cheers Julian from Germany.
I once had to send a marine surveyor from London to Diego Garcia where a cargo ship had a problem. The route he flew was down to Naples and on to DG by Alaska Airlines, a service they operated for the US armed forces.
It actually makes me sad watching this, how we used to take simple things like just going out for granted, let alone traveling.
Stay safe everyone :)
Bollocks -> OO
Eh?
@@michaelosgood9876 wow, just came back to this comment, how things have changed!! I just hope we won't have to go back to that ever again (atleast not in our lifetime)
@@moharr3582 just seeing how Alaska Airlines serves its communities makes me extremely happy. Very interesting airline & fleet of which if I'd been Alaskan, I'd be proud. Nothing to be sad about
Fantastic views. Another great flight report. Thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed that Noel, that was excellent. Many thanks for filming these.
Awesome video man! I always love seeing people fly this unique route
Noel thank you. What a treat. Those views were stunning. I was in Juneau in 1979 for the start of a wilderness expedition. So, super lovely to see a bit of it now. Never expected to be able to have a glance around via your video. The mountains are huge and gorgeous. Thank you.
Awesome awesome video Noel! Hope you're doing okay in these rough times, keep up the great work!
I love to see these unique journeys! It's almost a sense of bush flying but on a 737; such a dynamic aircraft. Thanks for sharing, Noel!
That looked an amazing trip! Flown Alaska airlines a few times and find them a really good airline!
rly a friendly and calm crew, making jokes. love it.
thx noel for this awesome journey-report. :)
Nice review! The view is definitely stunning... will definitely add this Milk Run route to my list.
What a treat to reminisce as I lived in Alaska for almost 20 years but traveled to and from for over 40 years and the trips i enjoyed the most was what you did whenever I could. Sometimes the weather cooperated and was beautiful the entire way like it was in Anchorage but other times what you experienced from Seattle to Juneau was the norm!! A big difference then was that meals were free and offered frequently on that run but having a cocktail out of each stop was really my highlight. I hope to make that trip one more time before much longer so thanks for bringing me up to date!
beautiful scenery in that part of the world, great video Noel!
Love your videos helps me with my travelling
I love Alaska Airlines. Alaska and Virgin are my top 2 airlines. Thanks for the history in that hangar!
Great video as always!!! And what a landscape!!! Lets hope that in the near future we will be able to enjoy nature in this way...
Watching now! I myself have never been to Alaska! This ‘tour’ is amazing! Thanks!
Very nice video as allways! Love seeing new parts of the world, and you help me inspire me
TY Noel for the Excellent Videos
Incredible video, you makes all videos interesting to watch dude!
WOW JUST WOW.......really enjoyed that well done noel !!!
Fantastic video as always Noel!
Lovely stuff Noel..scenery looked amazing
One of my fav places in the world! Thanks for the vid Noel!
Great stuff Neil. stay safe in these troubled times.
gabb1972 Noel Even
Looks amazing, hope you're back flying soon mate, love your videos
Good job Noel. Being stuck inside it's nice to travel with you. You visited an area I've wanted to visit forever. Thanks. Also, bravo for you to tell those bad jokes with such aplomb. .
The "Milk run," I loved in the early 90s was Seattle, Juneau, Yakutat, Cordova then Anchorage. There was no lay over. It was done in a 737-300 (With the Pratt & Whitneys. The long skinny ones.) It was always a combi. For those who aren't aware, a combi is a configuration of cargo up front and passengers in the rear. They would open the front left side of the aircraft to load the containers. Kinda cool. Thanks for bringing back some loved memories with this video, Noel.
Just watched your Alaska video what a beautiful place, yes your right it does look like Scotland.
Thank you for making these videos, your making it possible for people that cannot travel for whatever reason to see the world and experience flying.
Thank you again.
Really enjoyed this video, one of the best yet!
This is a great video Noel very uplifting pardon the pun in a time of stress and concern for so many fantastic photography videography and composition. I fly single engine not jets but you make it so enjoyable to watch travelling the world back of the bus as we say in the pilots lounge... thanks again great job!
Great video Noel. Alaska looks great. Cheers.
I've been watching your videos for some time now really enjoy watching its great to see such beautiful places you've been to keep being awesome and can't wait for next video stay safe 👊
Been looking forward to you uploading all week!:)
This is what I needed today thanks Noel
Another brilliant video keep it up Noel
Great Video i love following the little adventures you have in those far away places
Glad you like them!
Well done Noel. Cracking video.
Thank you for the great video and the memory of the unique piece of Alaska. I was there for two weeks in September 2019, it was the most breathtaking vacation I have ever had.
United Island Hopper: "14 HOURS ON A 737!"
pilotjj1 that would be a treat 😆😁
Been there done that. It's not as bad as it sounds
Jesse Lopez Yeah and also the 737 that united uses for the island hopper has IFES
Done the Island Hopper about 30 times in each direction.
I want to be on the island hopper sometime in my life as I want to become a United pilot
I am always amazed at how cheerful you are when you hardly get any sleep!
Best video I’ve seen in a long time. Well done 👍🏻
Thanks Noel, keeping us entertained during Lockdown2020.
Love your travels, Noel & thanks for Sharing 🇦🇺🏴 ✈️👍🏻
I went up to Anchorage about the same time you did and I also had a spectacular cloudless landing
Thankfully you got some good views on the last leg! I was afraid it was going to be cloudy the entire time.
I’m watching this because in 10 days I’m going from Philadelphia to Seattle then Seattle to Spokane in Alaska airlines and I wanted to see how they are. And I must say that you deserve way more subscribers. You are so good at explaining everything! You earned a new sub!
Thank you for history lesson on Alaskan Airlines.
Most interesting indeed to learn.
Great video.
You’re by far my favorite Av - geek blogger I follow. You just keep it real and still show your real you. Keep it up
Thank you! Will do!
Brilliant video.... Alaska looks awesome 🤙
Gosh...i would love to fly on this milk run as well as the United Island Hopper.I flew from Anchorage to Seattle and the scenery below was spectacular.
The natural beauty of Alaska is captivating! Cheers 🥂
Great video the staff seem amazing and so pleasant and friendly
Stunning views, looks like a fun trip to do sometime
Really great video Noel. I'd been thinking about heading to Alaska as a bit of a different holiday at some point - this just reinforces it. Maybe once we return to normal I'll have that chance
I spent three decades working for Alaska Airlines. Always enjoyed flying the Milk Run. Sometimes I even flew from Seattle to Anchorage on the Milke Run rather than the nonstop because it was so much fun.
Yay! So fun to finally see you in my neck of the woods out of SEA!
I find your videos very relaxing for some reason :)
Great video again. So glad I’ve become a sponsor. And have so many videos to catch up with
I adore this video. Just brilliant, lots of history and info and the scenery wasn't too shabby either. Well done.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Noel juneau is a lovely place was there in 2018 on an alaska cruise, good video and take care
Interesting vlog. I visited Juneau in September. The weather was sunny and mild. The scenery was spectacular and breathtaking.
Another amazing video! Lovely part of the world.
Wow now that's a journey Noel, such a bumpy ride
Amongst my favs of your video blogs! ✈️
Watching this whilst in lockdown, remembering the good olde days where you could go places :P
Great video as always
Brilliant Noel thanks
That's a trip for the bucket list. Incredible.
The scenery is wonderful !
