Brady, I have watched this over and over again. I think you did a fantastic job of catching the essence of this event. It is like no other event I have ever attended and has a feel one only gets in Alaska. The camaraderie felt here is amazing, 300 airplanes parked on the ramp, 20 feet of snow piled up, tents pitched on the asphalt and Alaskans in shorts talking airplanes in daylight at 10:30 pm at 34 degrees. Thanks for allowing me to relive it over and over again.
the best of the many Valdez Video reports. Thanks for posting !
Good job Brady. Read the article in Light Sport and this put the icing on the cake.
This is just awesome, I love seeing stuff like this.
Love this so much..
That Carbon Cub looks awesome!
This is frickin awesome!
Brady you rock man, seriously good stuff.
WOW, thanks to who ever posted this. Now I wish they told us the numbers on the winners. I have seen some planes do 20 and 30 foot take-offs and landings but that was in the wind.
Outstanding!
fantastic
Amazing !
Now that is REAL stick and rudder flying.
@AINGELPROJECT667 Because they are bush planes made to service and resupply remote locations, many times with short unpaved rough runways, making STOL necessary in the first place. These large tires allow it to land "off-road" if you will.
great video!
¡ QUE HERMOSA COMPETENCIA !
Very nice.
RESPECT!!!
Alaskan Bush Pilots = Best off-airport pilots in the world. This competition in Valdez every year is amazing. Each year it gets better and better
Amen! preach it brothah!!!
felisitaciones!!!!quiero un equipo de esos
wow amaizing
i love this!!!! i miss flying
27,000 hours of flying in Alaska.......whoah
Super❤🎉
@justincgs There are a few Cessna 120/140's in the group.
If I'm not mistaken, there's a class for 172's and, set up right, the 172 is a good bush plane.
Oustanding video! I Love the 0:55 Aprox at very High AoA!!!
I'd love to see a good pilot in a stock Zenith STOL CH 701 (with 100-hp and tricycle gear) in this competition. While it may not win (every time) it would be a good comparative demo of the Zenair "Sky Jeep" light sport utility kitplane.
@EAAmultimedia There ranging from tires to certain types of soil with mud, gravel, stones and others?
xander4301: in France it takes 52 hours minimum for PPL licence
Being a passenger in regular bush planes in Alaska is a real good way to get
'closer to god.'
An airline pilot might say fly 75 hours in a month. That's 900 hours in a year. That's only 30 years of flying to get to 27,000 hours. If you say, started flying charters when you're 20, and you're about 50 now, that would make sense.
In how much meters take off the minimun and landing minimun too?
En cuantos metros mínimos despegan y aterrizan?
I'd love to do some rock hounding in one of those birds!!!
someone explain to me the usefullness of those massive tires, other than to cushion a rough landing on an unprepared airfield...just curious
best landing at 1:25!
How long would it take to get a pilots liscence that qualifies you to fly a small plane like these?
"You can never have too much hp"
@deetjay1 wat do u mean? do u hav bad eyesite?
I presume Era Alaska is referred to as EAA?
2:09 ... nice GS ;
Does any of the Flying Wild Alaska persons like Jim Tweto compete in this?
Why do they all have the big-ass tires?
More HP? Yer preachin' at the choir dude!!! LOL
>X-D
These guys carry spare props in cargo?
damn, humans are OP..
Zac Brown has a funny accent
5 people didnt make it to the competition
@TheYozStudios
Roger...can't even drive at night anymore...detached retina...myopic so bad that even that fancy surgery won't correct it...and diabetic retinopathy...But, I can dream...I am envious of anyone who can fly the skies!
Fan....TAS....Tic.
0:57 1:27 0:02 i like it all
shortest landing ever at 1:30
#1? is a fuc&^% helicopter the same as a regular helicopter,,,#2 ? what a way to go doing what you love to do,,wish I could do this,,jealously love this video
as much as you want, look on ebay, super cubs
thats a "short Final" lol
@900RedChocobo
Best. Thread.
1 person had to be different
1:30 dude its a fucking helicopter
holy crab 70,000 hours thats like spending ur whole life in an airplane..
i think it deserve it ^_^
LOL OMG SERIOUSLY! ----> 0:54
@wanderfurther and these planes are somewhat cheaper than helicopters xD
Not without more hp. With a 220hp STC it's a wonderful bush plane. Better than a C180. With the stock 145 or 150hp and a fixed pitch prop it sucks. Even with STOL mods.
Great competition--if you can get past the music.
0:55 helicopter with fixed wings.. .-_-
Weird looking helicopters.
With all the Super Cub clones at 180 HP+ under the hood entered in the competition, why don't they load them to 2000 pounds and see where the real skill lies. If you can't get the moose out of the backcountry, who cares what your empty plane will do...
How can you have no heart and click thumbs down????!!!!!!! Looser!
"Race Official" - is "race" really the right word?
Interesting and entertaining but not too practicable. I should know, I have flown bush alaska for 30+ years and I land off airport and take off with gross weight loads routinely. Such proficiendy is a matter of experience, not machine and horsepower
It's a good show but nowadays there are more precise (and cheap) ways to determine the exact point of take off & landing than a referee running alongside the craft....
