@ imagine being 2-5 thousand feet in the air, the plane is a light aircraft weighing around 2600 pounds, the winds are blowing 20 to 30 knots (23-34 MPH) and you have to control the plane to keep it on course and in the air. Is this pilot really being over cautious? He has been flying for 40 years which says a lot. There was another pilot named Jamie that worked for Island air many years ago that was a great pilot but didn’t get the opportunity to be as cautious as this man. His body has never been recovered. I also knew another pilot from Kodiak Air who was an exceptional pilot and even a spotter pilot. He hit a downdraft while taking off and that was it. Just saying don’t be so quick to judge if you’ve never walked in their boots.
32:00 - No, no, no! You do NOT catch and release! You catch what you need to eat, you give Thanks to the Fish and the LORD for sustaining you, and you leave the rest alone. Subjecting animals to hunting stress just for "fun" is unacceptable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thanks FD Real for a great 'reunion' with one of my favorite old shows! I love that De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver and the Master Pilots that still fly them! Imagine: The first Beaver rolled off the Production Line 76 years and 7 months ago in Downsview, Ontario, in April 1948…! From 1947 to 1967, De Havilland Canada built 1,692 DHC-2 Beavers. This number includes all variants, including the turbine-powered models introduced later in its production run. And some 900-1,000 Beavers are still registered, and many are airworthy and in active duty! WHAT A MACHINE! De Havilland made them good! I've only flown Otters, but no matter how turbulent and crazy it gets up here in Arctic Norway, those machines are just "glued" to the sky! 😂👍
Montana Wardens are now called Yellowstone Wardens and they're on a different night now, not gone. You may have to look around but they're still there. Thanks for this though--we never get this in our area, and it's interesting to watch. We love AK, but have never been to Kodiak--maybe someday. This is stoking the fire, though!
I had no idea how dramatic and heroic all my years of bush flying really were. Oh my gosh. And I still don't. We, as a society, are really in need of meaning it looks like.
Bob is flying a company Beaver and he looses his generator but luckily he was following the other company Beaver. The problem is they only have one Beaver and it’s the only plane on floats.
Safe below my duvet I know I was warm and secure. The realisation that I needed to get up dawned upon me like the rising Alaskan sun. If the temperature outside my duvet during the night has dropped to absolute zero I knew because of my Alaskan life experience I would die. No alternative I extended my foot below the level of the duvet. I survived. Humans can survive up to three weeks without food. Toast for breakfast would ensure that I would not endure the fate of starvation. My dilemma was that I knew the butter and marmalade was stored inside the fridge. Was it possible that a 450 pound brown bear had crept into the fridge during the night. Occasionally avoidance is the right survival choice. Dry toast is less tasty but Alaska give no quarter. Time to leave for work - as a narrator on Alaska Air.
I flew military aircraft from Fairbanks about two hundred miles north of NARL. WE WERE DOING SEARCH and RESCUE. MISSION Using SLAR found in HIM PEN POINTED IN Less THAN 30. minutes looking for person. 172 MIDAS. FLYING OV-1 Mohawk. The Mohawks all retired in 1985.
Can never understand why these sorts of shows, randomly blur sensor out something. And are so inconsistent with it too. Blur the tail registration, but only ob shots from the one angle…. N91AK
You do not need this overdramatic nonsense. Follow these pilots for a month and film them, this is a frontier form of flying, doesn’t need this overly dramatic planning.
What happened to WARDENS??? I'm used to watching that on Fridays. THIS IS CRAZY, BAIT AND SWITCH. BRING BACK 'WARDENS OF MONTANA'. Otherwise unsubscribe me.
Would like a warm glass of milk and some cookies to make you feel better?? The world apologies to you ma'am. Were so sorry that they didn't do what you wanted! Hahahaha. You threatened to unsubscribe because they didn't post a show on THEIR account. Hahaha.
The secretary lady looks like Elliot Neese from the deadliest catch. Normally I'd think maybe they are family but in todays world, i wonder if hr became a lady boy.
No she didn't. They boned it out & took the meat out. It's against the law to waste eatable game. The guide would have lost his license from doing that
The one problem with these types of shows is that they over dramatize the dangers of certain situations and it just pulls the entire show down.
And so much repetitive dialog that makes it unpleasant.
100% agree, boomers making these shows
Sounds like you boys have never been to Kodiak Island and snuggle down in your cozy bed every night.
I agree. I'm not a bush pilot but it seemed like the owner was a bit over dramatic and slightly weak and wimpy.

Love the Beaver
Love your videos please keep them coming and be safe out there America has its crooks too. God bless you and your family Sam the man 👍🏽🤙🏽

cool show!
I thought the old radial looked familiar I flew a Beaver Dehavaland once in about 1977 , did not know there was any left flying .
If you're not from Alaska, if you've never been to Kodiak, your opinion is making me laugh
watching from brazil
Awesome 👍
@@Mike_Greentea The DHC guys have good basic understanding all the way ,Comet, Beaver,Mosquito DHC8 etc

Keep those Beavers in flight & maintained!!?

Why is the tailsign blurred at times... and then not?
These are old episodes and constantly get posted, must be over 5 years old.
Reminds one of The Snow Walker.
A black woman invented the GPS system, she has certainly saved a lot of lives. Gladys West, a Mathematician.

You could get out of shape on those pontoons in a hurry. Best know everything possible about handling characteristics
leave it to beaver ...... watch it some day......
Greatshow just wondering why the aircrafts I'd is always blocked out.
So was I. the Regn is N91AK and it was cancelled on 7 Jan 2019 so why bother.

That first hunter is a whiner. Do what you need to do to get through the night. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Bob ❤

You didn't need to watch it or comment, yet here we are. Lmao 😂😂
Walk a day in their shoes then you can see how dramatic you are!
Rough tough american outdoorsmen/ hunters, crying like women because its a bit chilly and wet ffs!.
the plane runs on mags
762, 556?
30:16 😊
I WANT TO INNOVATE A BETTER PLANE FOR ALASKA BUSH PILOTS TO FLY.
But honey, i'm not going to have fun, i'm going to get food for our family . Risking my life !
What happened to WARDENS??? I'm used to watching that on Fridays. THIS IS CRAZY, BAIT AND SWITCH. BRING BACK 'WARDENS OF MONTANA'. Otherwise unsubscribe me.
Wardens will be back in a few weeks. But there’s other stuff out there worth watching, too.

You can unsubscribe yourself
Sounds like a Karen
@@arnoldromppai5395I was expecting someone to say this, you took the words right out of my mouth
i don t like when i see that they kill animals . this is not a sport
what's with the .07 second long shots?.... too hard to follow this terrible production.

The commentary is terrible!
That woman took the deers head and left the meat? What a waste.
No she didn't. They boned it out & took the meat out. It's against the law to waste eatable game. The guide would have lost his license from doing that
