Just chiming in to tell you that there are many of us who enjoy your full flight videos. For the past one and a half year or so since subscribing, these videos have been a source of relaxation, solace and entertainment for me while going through the ups and downs of life. Many days I have appreciated coming back from work to find a new upload from you to relax and unwind to. Many nights I have have eased into a peaceful sleep while listening to the distinct sound of your flight recordings.Thank you and please keep up the good work Skylite.
I really appreciate all of that my friend, and I'm so glad you're able to use my videos to help relax and unwind! I always enjoy hearing how people use and enjoy my videos my friend! And remember, there's always plenty more on the way!
Thank you for your videos. so wonderfully beautiful. I also love the beauty of Alaska. the take-offs and landings there. fantastic. Of course, all of your other videos as well. Thank you from Germany
There's always plenty more on the way. And you're definitely in heaven this year, as I've been through SEA more than any other airport this year. And I'm not done flying through there haha. So there's plenty of SEA content still coming.
I love falling asleep listening to these full flight videos - they help create relaxing dreams. Sometimes the ads wake me up, but that’s ok. Thanks for creating these videos!
I'm glad they're able to help you relax my friend. I know the ads can be pesky, but I try to put fewer ads in my videos than anyone else. Unfortunately, without them I wouldn't be able to keep making new videos. So they're a necessary annoyance haha. Thanks for watching!
Hey, I know that airport! Good view of Des Moines and the marina taking off. Yes, someone from Des Moines, IA really did come there and gave this community its name. Good view of Redondo. Wonderful view of Maury Island. A lot of Seattleites own summer homes here. Good view of Dockton. I've swum in the Sound there many times, very refreshing on a hot August afternoon. Good view of Vashon. Good view of Bainbridge Island. Hey, there's my GF's parents' house! Great view of Seattle. Good view of Bremerton. Great views of the Coast Mountains of BC. Looks like the clearing began a little north of Bella Coola. Anyhow, next week on the 4th of July at 12 Noon, we're going to have the lowest tide of 2023 at -4.0. BE THERE!!
Ah man, I'll be in Grand Cayman then. Assuming there are no tropical storms haha. So, I'll have to miss the lowest tides! That's unfortunate. I do love browsing through tide pools!
And speaking of what you said about someone coming from Des Moines for this, I'm hoping Alaska Airlines starts nonstop service between Des Moines-Seattle.
I'll actually be visiting Ketchikan again soon, and if my flights are on time I'll have a 6 hour layover. I'm planning to actually go exploring in town a bit for the first time.
I finally made it to the Seattle area just a few days ago. I've been wanting to visit the Museum of Flight up there for years & years. It did not disappoint, especially the outdoor pavilion where you can walk through the 707, 727, 747, 787, & Concorde, it was awesome. I want to second that I still watch your long-form vids, especially for future trips that I'm taking myself (Hawaii, Guam via the Island Hopper), great reference material. I've also gotten into the credit card/airline miles game myself since I have a bunch of travel left to do this year, and well into the future. It would be interesting, to me at least, if you show how you manage all the miles you earn.
I have been to the Museum of Flight and you're right, it is a great museum. As for miles and points, several people have mentioned this recently. I definitely use miles and points to my advantage. In fact, without them it'd be very difficult for me to stomach all of the costs associated with this channel haha. I will have to look into doing that!
This ur first segment of AS65 the Milk Run to Alaskabyou posted PSG-JNU on this exact plane earlier. What a rare chance you got to fly Alaska salmon thirty salmon on the milk run on 6 flights!!!!!!
A rare chance yes, but one that I knew was going to happen ahead of time. So, it wasn't all up to chance. I had seen that Alaska was going to retire this livery and saw an internal memo that said it was going to operate AS65 on this particular day as a "farewell tour." So, I kind of knew it was going to be on this route haha. Still a very cool thing though, and even though the livery is gone now, it'll live on forever here!
I always get a little bent out of shape when the plane has to cut the throttle so those down below can eat their ham sandwiches in peace as they kick back in their recliners and close their eyes, expecting total silence right next to a freaking runway. We're just up here trying to "fly" and gain altitude, but let's make sure we don't bother you, pal.
Wow! I wanted to say, thank you so much for the detailed response. And man, you would smile at the fact that I have had the Venture since 2014! However, I just upgraded to the Venture X which, when you book with cash through the C1 portal, gets you 5X miles on flights and 10x on hotel and car. Not to mention that you get a $300 statement credit every year from travel booked through the C1 portal. Plus, 10K miles as an anniversary bonus. The annual fee is quite high at $395, but the statement credit and anniversary bonus along with some other lounge/status perks kind of cancel it out. Overall, I am excited to start using this credit card and I hope that I can travel more frequently and maximize the output. I was actually considering the Quest, but at least for my sake, I tend to go for the least expensive flight rather than stay loyal, plus, I don't travel more than 5 times a year so a flexible travel card is a must. Additionally, I was hoping you said some sort of American Express since I really want to combine the Venture X with the food card (Amex Gold) to maximize the points I am getting. I was curious if you have any tips on maximizing between those two, or if there are any comments you'd like to add to my possible line-up. :)
Oh nice! So you're already rocking! I only have one airline branded credit card at a time. As you know from my channel, I don't stay too loyal either, as I try to fly everyone. But, I do try to keep at least one airline with higher level status and right now that United. I have looked at upgrading to the Venture X, but honestly I'm finding it hard to swallow the $395 annual fee when I already have that much in annual fees on other cards combined, when I wouldn't get the welcome bonus if I just upgraded. I don't want to cancel my Venture and re-apply, so for the moment, I'm sticking with it.
So yeah. I film everything in HDR and have for some time. The problem is that RUclips doesn't recognize the rendering format I use as having HDR even though it does. And to fix that, I have to render videos out in Apple ProRes instead. The problem there is that Apple ProRes files are massive. And this 2 hour full flight would be insanely large. Even if I had a hard drive big enough to hold it, it would then exceed the RUclips file size limits. So, at least for now, I'm stuck rendering in mp4 instead of m4v.
@sla31 not really I just thought that be cool to have you inboard with us then maybe uu could record are flight:f I been a subscriber to you for a while now I'd like to meet u haha
Well, I started a RUclips channel 8 years ago and now it's my full time job. So, one must travel a lot to upload 365 video per year. Everything you see on here is paid for out of my own pocket, and is flown pretty much just to film for the channel.
Hey @Skylite Productions I have been watching your content (mostly full trip Reports) for quite a while and have noticed it’s the same probably 10-15 airports over and over (at least it seems like it). I was just wondering if you had any plans to visit any new airports or maybe places you haven’t gone in several years? Maybe I’m just going crazy, but I’m pretty sure what I’m saying is pretty accurate. Otherwise I still love your content, I’d just love to see some new places in your videos!
Well, see what seems to happen is that when I post new airports.... Nobody ever seems to see them. I will get comments months later like "how did I miss this one?" In 2022 I flew to 78 individual airports, and yes there are some that repeat themselves because they are hubs, or special flights like this one here. I've flown SEA-KTN before, but this was the Salmon's final flight, so I had to take it regardless of where it was flying. In 2023 so far, and we're only halfway through the year, I've visited 48 airports which means I'm actually on track to visit more airports this year than I did last year. Many of which have been brand new airports for the channel. So take this flight for example: ruclips.net/video/Isz31sns6Bc/видео.html That flight is from Anchorage to Homer Alaska. Homer, which is an airport I'd never been to and was an airport that really didn't have anything online for. I flew there and posted the video, and it is one of the worst performing videos I've posted all year. No one saw it, but then I post a video later from JFK-MIA on a 777 and it get's thousands more views in the first day alone... Honestly, I try to feature as many places as I can. I LOVE flying to new places and featuring them on the channel. But, they never perform well and they always seem to just get lost. So, yes there are airports that inevitably get featured more often. I've been in Seattle a lot this year. But, I've also been to and posted flights in and out of Medford, Pasco, Spokane, Jackson, Wenatchee, Bozeman, and Portland just to make a few others in the Pacific Northwest area. But all of those other ones, again.. Seem to just get kind of lost.
@@sla31 my apologies. I think where I was getting that idea is some of the takeoff/landing videos feature many hubs or connecting flight from the same cities from the past that you never uploaded as a full flight. I’m glad to see you are putting in the effort, and I will try to pay more attention to some of the evidently missed or forgotten videos.
@@LegitimateAviation no worries my friend. I didn't take offense at anything you said. I just wanted to try to explain how I do honestly try to feature as many places as possible. I just flew to Ironwood Michigan. That video is coming up soon. Who has even heard of Ironwood, Michigan, right? And to be clear, I wasn't suggesting that you or anyone else just weren't "paying attention." I was more suggesting that, because of the way RUclips works, when a video get WAY more views because it features bigger markets like LAX or JFK, it then gets pushed more by RUclips than videos flying to Homer Alaska... So, I'm not saying that you or anyone else is just ignoring those types of videos. I just don't think RUclips pushes them out as much, because they do appeal to a smaller demographic.

I agree! I hate when people say they rode from New York to Chicago and it's only a 5 minute clip. I wanna see the whole thing. Wow me ya know?
This dude is still a fish, just a native one.
One I hope to catch again in the future!
Thank you for your videos. so wonderfully beautiful. I also love the beauty of Alaska. the take-offs and landings there. fantastic. Of course, all of your other videos as well. Thank you from Germany
I'm glad you enjoy them my friend. Thanks for watching.
Perfect footage production! 😍. Hug from Brazil 🇧🇷
Thanks my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Alaska is truly my favorite!
Mine too my friend!
Awesome 👌. Wonderful Video, Spellbound. I enjoy this video very very much, thanks.
I'm glad to hear it my friend. As always, thanks for watching!
I just enjoy watching your flight videos especially from seatac Airport in Seattle in my home state ... looking forward to seeing more... 😊😊
There's always plenty more on the way. And you're definitely in heaven this year, as I've been through SEA more than any other airport this year. And I'm not done flying through there haha. So there's plenty of SEA content still coming.

Seriously!
Stunning video as always. Alaska always seems to be just stunningly beautiful no matter where you fly to! Thanks friend!
It certainly is beautiful. As you said, it never seems to matter which way I point the camera when in Alaska. It's always beautiful.
WELL DONE
Hey, I know that airport! Good view of Des Moines and the marina taking off. Yes, someone from Des Moines, IA really did come there and gave this community its name. Good view of Redondo.

@@sla31 Check the tide tables for the Grand Cayman Islands. You may be there for some very low tides while you're there.
And speaking of what you said about someone coming from Des Moines for this, I'm hoping Alaska Airlines starts nonstop service between Des Moines-Seattle.
I'm in love with Ketchikan, and I haven't even been there. One day soon, very soon.

Awesome! Can you do more E175-170 vids?
Yes. I almost always have some E170/175 videos in the pipeline.
1st! Liked and subbed!
Thanks my friend. I appreciate it!
@@sla31 No problem 😉!
Great fly! Have you heard DC airport was issued ground stop due to air traffic control equipment failure?
I hadn't heard that. Good think I wasn't flying to DC today.
