Daniel, you should have 10 times the number of subscribers. You always have some of the best interviews in aviation. Keep up the good work. Also I’ll be getting some new seats from you for my 1956 Pacer this coming spring. They are awesome! Rusty 👍
The only problem with this channel is that you don't have a 5 year history of content. Finished all the podcasts in about three weeks. Can't wait for the next one! One day when I own a plane, I'm excited to buy some sexy new upholstery off of you!
I absolutely love this channel. I love the stories. This is one one the reason I got into flying was to come to Alaska and do some flying. I haven't had the chance yet, but I will. I have been in Law Enforcement for just over 30 years and plan on going to Alaska very soon. The guests you have had on has given so much insight to bush flying. I could listen to the stories all day. Keep up the good work.
Great interview. As a kid growing up in the Homer area I knew both Till and Ronnie. In my 20s I worked as a deck hand for one of the boats that Till was spotting for when he died. Small world.
Great video, Dan. Too busy to view in one sitting but it's essential to hear the stories of seasoned aviators. Thanks, from me and from Eagle Flight Squadron. Cheers!
@@AirplanesInTheWild- At about 15 minutes in, his story reminded me of my time in 1974, spotting tuna for a purse seiner out of Panama. I was flying a helicopter off of the boat so I was also part of the crew. It was great until I had to “ground” the helicopter for cause but I learned to love repairing nets and throwing sharks and porpoises out of the net. When I left that job, I came to Alaska to for the Alyeska pipeline construction and other missions. I loved my time flying in Alaska. What wild and beautiful country I was blessed to see!
My tailwheel instructor had me do lots of one wheel taxis in the citabria. I've found most instructors don't do that, but I'll be much more proficient.
I think they seem bold but if you listen to the last half of the podcast(maybe you already did) he talks about practice and making good decisions. These guys are very calculated
I know Curt, he’s a quite careful and calculated guy. Would not call him bold, more like careful and confident. He knows his capabilities and boundaries.
Curt isn’t bold, he’s calculated. There seems to be a confusion about what is bold and not bold. Bold would be trying something without thought, training or experience to back it up. Bold would be like a 747 pilot who hasn’t touched a ga aircraft in 40 years trying to land off airport out at the Knik, in an airplane they’ve never practiced with… not bold would be someone who’s practiced 100’s of hours in the pattern learning how to hit your mark exactly, land and stop short, going out with others learning how to land off airport. Taking the time to learn to judge distances and know exactly how much room you need to be safe. Take that same bush pilot and throw him in the class b to fly into dfw solo for the first time, might be bold. Ie one man’s bold might not be bold for the other man.
I really enjoy these conversations. I dont own a plan yet but when i do i plan to put ur seats in it! Most planes have crappy ugly seats and urs look comfortable and nice looking. ,
the result of low speed/high angle of attack and then the sudden application of power results in a "torque roll" to the left. Ask me how I know ;-). this is from one "fish cop" to another or FWEO but that's going way back. Nice interview, I agree with very thing you said.
He was my neighbor for a few years at 02AK, super good guy and family. Every time I had a conversation with him, I learned something.

I love it. Thanks for the support.
Thank you Daniel for capturing these stories. I have listened to all of your coffee and a hangar episodes and really enjoy what you have done.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
These interviews make us all safer pilots ! Keep them coming

I've watched Curt fly in and out for Billy Molls on his show. Curt was sure a great guy and pilot. Another wonderful interview. So interesting, thanks
Great interview. and I can relate.
This is GOLD!
Great information. Wonderful info and we are very lucky now to have this content to learn from right at home.
I am doing my private pilot and I always make sure I interview the instructors and have serious discussion about safety
Killer video. I love hearing the detailed explanations and really digging into techniques as well as the background stories
Another awesome interview. You might also want to interview Dr. Bob Ledda of All Alaska Outdoors in Soldotna (he's quite a character).
Is he the guy that Wildflyproductions does videos about?
You know it! I did my emergency medicine training with him.
Cool
One of my favorite channels! Priceless

George, good to hear from you. Thanks for watching.

Nice
These are great stories!
Glad you think so!
Who says there no old/bold pilots?. Seems you interview them regularly.

You are absolutely correct. Thank you for capturing all of these stories. Priceless for the younger generations of Alaska pilots.

Interview Zach Knaebel of Tok Air. Interesting bush pilot from the interior!

awesome I mean it!
Steepness of hills = "angle of repose" = 29 degrees. (Geology talk)
Thanks for sharing that. I’ve never heard the term. Now I can use that and I’ll sound just a little smarter 😁
That’s interesting:)
Why does this guy sound like the sheriff of Nottingham?
No clue.

Stop interrupting your guest.
