This is how aviation videos should be. It has always made me wonder why anyone who fly's puts music in the video when the sound of flight is just remarkable. Thank you.
My dad used to love to hunt at Heckman. They would rent the forest service cabin and fly in. Later they lived further down the Naha at Orton Ranch. I need to get back for a visit.
Man, this was so relaxing for me! As a tourist who frequents the USA a lot I would rather know these small towns and their people, have dinner at a seaside restaurant or enjoy the forests and the wilderness than visiting The Big Cites. Reminds me of my childhood flying cessnas with Dad (:
@@TheMikeification for the 40th anniversary of msfs, asobo bought a few planes from addon creators that were intended to be payware and released them all for free. i think the beaver is the one from misviz, and the dc3 is the one from aeroplane heaven... and more, 40th anniversary is a pretty good update if you like classic planes!
Dang, that one lake has more trees around it than I've seen in my entire life! What an absolutely _gorgeous_ area of the world! And, what an absolutely _gorgeous_ aircraft to travel in!!
Like Canada I imagine there are many settlements in Alaska that rely on float planes with a decent cargo lifting ability for their very existence. On tick over the R-985 sounds like an overgrown Harley
The transition from Earth to Heaven and Heaven to Earth were joyous, however I couldn't tell when that actually happened. This video has inspired me to become a much better pilot. Thank you! 🙂
what an awesome moment ! I've apreciate every second of that vid ! big thanks ! and ,this bauty look like new ! can't believe she's from another age. superb machine and well configured
It belongs to a company named SeaWind Aviation out of Ketchikan, Alaska. Pilot appears to be Steve Kamm, the owner. This is a chartered, air taxi, or sightseeing flight, which is likely why it is so maintained.
Looks like flying into Ketchikan. I used to load air freight for Coastal/Tyee air back in the '70s and flew on some runs as well. De Haviland Beaver is a great plane!
100% Ketchikan and Seawind. I believe the pilot is Steve Kamm or one of his relatives. Maybe point baker? All I can tell you is it's not Port Protection because I've flown between there and Ketchikan. They have many destinations.
Okay. I give up. What is the make of the PFD / MFD electronic instruments right in front of the pilot? I've been trying to find anything that look similar online. Intrigued.
I’m sure he knows his surroundings better than I, but seemed from video at least, he was a bit short on altitude in a few areas, but I have to say he’s flying a beaver in the back country, for money, I pay to fly a Cherokee around the traffic pattern.. so I’m sure he is most likely much higher than it looks, clean plane, great pilot , and the absolute best back country flying in the world..
Marvellous, though I would have liked it even more without the post-production flashing gimmicks and framing to make it look like an old film - it doesn't work and is just annoying. Well done for not adding music though.
Thanks! good scenatio for MSFS. The clouds still need to be worked on, they look a bit unnatural. And I would change the rain. Otherwise, everything is almost like in reality!
Thanks for not putting any dumb music in this amazing video. The Beaver's sounds are music to my ears!
100% Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching
Damn, whoever maintains that aircraft has done a great job. One of the cleanest DHC2 cockpits I have seen.
Yes, looks really nice
No dust on the water is a real pie.
Yeah, that one screw in the cowling would make my ocd crazy..
Triggered mine 😂
Thanks for the pure sound with no background music!
I'm glad you liked it 😊

Awsome place

I liked that last bit, where the aircraft went up that tilt ramp. And what a beautifully maintained classic it is.
Great video. With the recent release of the new DHC2 Beaver in MSFS, this vid will get many more views.
Welp time to get my wallet out again for another MSFS 2020 plane. At least the virtual 100LL is a lot cheaper. xD
@@TheMikeification Beaver is free for anyone who owns the game! :))
@@Jack-id4qm Oh my god no way, that’s awesome! I had no idea 😆

It we be great to have LAT/LON data for departure and arrival points so we could recreate the flight in the sim.
I adore flying the beaver, in VR, in MSFS 😊
Perfect landing, I was waiting to hear it set down, but he already had.
wow the best video of this kind i have seen. no stupid music ore talking just the great airchraft engine sounding great and love that cocpit filming.
Thank you
3:36 Precise mooring to the pier from the move exactly to zero. Great job!
use to do that in Kodiak, in the 70s on a 172 with floats, man that was the life..
This was simply amazing... Great flying, great plane and great video. We need more!
Thnak You for bringing back memories of my time in Alaska flying Beavers out of Anderson with CAP. No music! Just the jugs....masterpiece
Well, That was my first take off and landing in a pontoon plane. Very smooth. Thanks for a wonderful flight.
That pilot is so smooth on the throttle and prop rpm. Awesome to watch
Thank you.
wow.... great video and the sound is love 😍👍
A greeting card in motion! Thank you for sharing!🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎
Best sounding single prop ever!
Best engine sound.
I watched this video with a epic sound setup and it was glorious ! I am now legally deaf.
Thank you
Dang, that one lake has more trees around it than I've seen in my entire life! What an absolutely _gorgeous_ area of the world! And, what an absolutely _gorgeous_ aircraft to travel in!!
Great video! I'd like to see a closer shot of the docking ramp.
Outstanding audio and flying. Thanks for posting!
Thank you
Beautiful video. First time I saw Ketchikan Airport from above. Thanks for sharing!
First time in Ketchikan for me
Hopefully not last 😉
Love the still water takeoff and very smooth with this Beautiful aircraft and the power settings are perfect
Thanks for the treat....I've always wondered!
Glorious! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Like Canada I imagine there are many settlements in Alaska that rely on float planes with a decent cargo lifting ability for their very existence. On tick over the R-985 sounds like an overgrown Harley
Oh, so lovely. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
Man! What's not to love. A P&W 985 behind a three bladed prop bolted to a beautiful DHC2 Beaver.
Absolute beautiful!!
This is a great showing of the experience. I hope you had fun!
Thank you
Whole trip was awesome flying, fishing, being outside with beautiful nature
Great time
Reminds me of the the adventures of Jim the pilot. Jeezes what a sound.
AWESOME video! thanks for this.
Glad you liked it!
Very cool video, loved! What a great landing, just perfect!
Thank you 😊
Just love this video. Flying in MSFS is really "as real as it gets." Thanks for posting. Hope you do more videos like this in the future. Excellent!
Thank you 😊

You welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. Means a lot.
What a beautiful plane!
What a beautiful aircraft and flight
Beaver, CL-415 are my favorite aircraft.
Hitting like a 454 with wicked cam in it.

my father flew for coast air
Beautiful.....going to fly in Alaska.....MSFS2020
Very cool! A lot of fun to watch.
fantastic video! thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video, thank you very much....
Glad you liked it!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. What equipment were you using?
Steve's one of the best!

that initial dock creep was a thing of beauty!
Real work of art
Guy literally hopped out while it was still moving like yup I know where its going.
Te lo voy a decir el Español! He disfrutado cada segundo del video. Precioso y espectacular! enhorabuena!
Truly a master of his craft.
Hi Peter! Great vid with beautiful scenery. Can you tell us where you took off and landed please?
Not sure where he took off from, but it looks like at 16:28 he is landing in Ketchikan...
This is out to Misty Fjords I believe, but yes it is out in Ketchikan, and the operator is Sea Wind Aviation!
100% Ketchikan and Seawind. I believe the pilot is Steve Kamm or one of his relatives. Maybe point baker? All I can tell you is it's not Port Protection because I've flown between there and Ketchikan. They have many destinations.
Okay. I give up. What is the make of the PFD / MFD electronic instruments right in front of the pilot? I've been trying to find anything that look similar online. Intrigued.
Gear up! I like V1!
Am i seeing wrong or does this beaver have electronic flaps? So cool....... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
yes not that wild about it.
Man that was fun to watch!
Thank you
Can you post where you are flying?
superb filming.. best videos on youtube on the radial beaver
Thank you 😊
I’m sure he knows his surroundings better than I, but seemed from video at least, he was a bit short on altitude in a few areas, but I have to say he’s flying a beaver in the back country, for money, I pay to fly a Cherokee around the traffic pattern.. so I’m sure he is most likely much higher than it looks, clean plane, great pilot , and the absolute best back country flying in the world..
Awesome flying in that beautiful Beaver! question, what is the RPM operating range? can you cruise at ..lets say 1700 _ 1800 RPM? Thank you!
1900 cruise
How do you like the electric flaps?
Nice Beaver!
Thanks 👍
Wow....
That cockpit looks like delivered yesterday but this plane is for sure at least 60 year old
Agree 💯%
Everything made back then was made to last
Good video. Only it would have been nice to have a close-up at the end where the aircraft comes up out of the water.
Close up with gopro simply impossible
This is what I always wanted to do is flying with a company in Alaska in the Beavers
YES , NO MUSIC , WELL DONE
Sounds like a V-8 in a car !
TY.
im ur 100th sub😎
Thank you
900 to go😁
Beautiful flight nice day Looks like coming into katehikan ?
Yes 😁
I subscribed 😎
Thank you
Sounds jist like my dha beaver in MFS2020! 8)
Reminds me of an old Crysler
How much for a fly like this? Why the lakes are so dark?
Marvellous, though I would have liked it even more without the post-production flashing gimmicks and framing to make it look like an old film - it doesn't work and is just annoying. Well done for not adding music though.

This is reality. No games here 😊
@@peterusa6985🙂 Anyway, thanks for this beautiful flight. I fly a Beaver in MSFS. I am from Yakutia, we have places very similar to Alaska!
Great video. Is that Mirror Lake?
heckman lk
Paradise
is that a sony stereo? guess not too much to hear on flying radio
Electric flaps in a beaver? Blasphemy.
What was this filmed with? Anyone know?
GoPro 10
fucking awesome
Thank you😊
What is this town name?
ketchikan AK
Don’t forget to put those wheels up...in BC one person forgot and boom! Toast.
Wheels?
@@peterusa6985 😂
Why do you NOT have trouble taking off on SLICK waters
no fish has been killed in making of this video
Ketchikan :)
😊
What happened here 9:26 ?
why flying radial still this days?
If you know you know
@@deanpaulson695 we just purchased a turbine otter
Effortless power!💪🏼😎
