Vlad's Valley Vista

No alcohol is added to fuels in Alaska, it attracts water which will freeze in fuel lines and disable your vehicle in colder months! Lived there over 7 years & I fly for a living, at least for the last 55 years.

I lived there in 1964. My dad worked for the FAA and maintained the avionics at the Tower up the hill from the airstrip. If he worked 45 minutes a day that would have been a stretch, lol! The Library used to be a Duplex where two other families lived. Downstairs was The Club where everyone met and partied. It had a small bar and very cool full length nature wall cover photos. It was a blast. Kenny's cabin down by the lake used to be the post office. There were no boxes as he would just throw ur mail on the floor by your usual spot...lol. Pike fishing there was intense, I once caught ten in about an hours time. Not a consumable fish but the locals would feed them to their dogs. White fish was the best food fish there...delicious😋We would boat around the lake in the summer and Ski-doo around it in the winter as it would freeze at least a foot thick. One gal had a team of sled dogs which was a trip of a lifetime! Hunting was common for food as we would only get a monthly food commisary flight. The government housing had running water which my dad also maintained and TV. I remember everyone coming to our house as the parents would kick the kids out to watch Batman😆

Is this a rotax engine that will allow regular automotive fuel??.... And specially 87 octane?

Thank you bringing loved ones family and friends

Друзья я приветствую вас 👋 всех. Я из России. Родом из городка где жила семья Владимира. Сейчас они все живут в США. Но от этого не перестают быть моими друзьями. Столько времени уже прошло как Владимир пропал. Мы тут, все. Кто был с ним знаком его друзья. Очень опечалины что так всё произошло. У Господа свои планы на каждого человека, на каждую душу. Нам остается молится о всех нас . Пусть Бог благословит вас друзья. На хорошие поступки. Берегите себя и своих близких! (Галина. Россия. Зеленокумск)

This is the same dc-4 that crashed in alaska 2 days ago. rest in peace for the 2 crew that were on board.. 😢

These rescues are serious. A local lady got lost with her kids. They had to get search and rescue from 2 villages to search for her. She had a rifle, and had to shoot a moose so she and her kids had something to eat to survive. Seriously. This is ALASKA. It is not Chicago or metro Dallas. 656,000 square miles of wilderness. 1/3 the size and 1,000 miles longer than the continental United States. You don't vacation here unless you're on a Princess or Norwegian Cruise Lines passenger ship. One service area for medical aid is the size of the state of West Virginia. Alaska is BIG. God bless these search and rescue boys. Pray for them, their job is real hard I know a guy who's probably one of Alaska's top 10 search and rescue guys. He's an Eskimo. Has serious tracking skills and can live off the land and keep them alive if he finds them that way. King of stink weed and traditional herbal lore. Don't come up here and adventuring fool! Try something light hearted like the base of My. Everest. Go out with safari guides and real outfitters. LOCALS and natural born Alaskans get lost in Alaska. Only the Jeremiah Johnson's and Grizzly Adams survive up here. This is real and dangerous frontier wilderness!! Princess or Norwegian Cruise Lines: book your vacation now.

a little detail: "Berlin Airlift during World War II" probably you mean the Berlin Blockade which was 24 June 1948 - 12 May 1949. WWII ended in 1945. It was the Cold War, though. And those Raisin Bombers were very welcome!

5:56 My brother Vlad. Love you and miss you. Thank you Dima for supplies, time, care, love...

Hello from fellow Citabria pilot. Nice video!

Our hearts go to the families of the N3054V pilots.

RIP to these pilots who perished in a DC4 crash this morning in Alaska

Unfortunately this Aircraft crashed today in Fairbanks, AK

Sad, the company lost 2 souls today in a plane crash in Fairbanks, Tail number N3054V

Too bad there’s not such a thing as compact battery powered two-way radios that will reach a couple of miles … such a thing sure would be handy there … that is if one could be bothered to attach a bedsheet or something to those buckets to act as a primitive parachute …

Thanks guys, awesome plane n stories, infact an old Boeing Stearman just flew over our house hence showing my wife on youtube what plane it is

Mike patey I think you are the superman of building these airplanes I love your planes maybe a kitfox in the future but into cars right now you have alot of energy keep it up you are very smart

You NEED a FIREARM !!!

"bugs" = GIANT MOSQUITOES ATTACKING !! : (

Those guy's had no reason to break into his cabin. So why did they waist day light. However I believe they find him. Because I saw this cabin used with a totally different family video where the family went in with snowmobiles.

Directors note: work on editing. Too much repetition in imagery flying. Shore up some of the dead space. Video should have been about 30% shorter. Think about narrative structure. Clear beginning, middle, end. Needed a more information in the beginning. Set up the story more cohesively and avoid loose ends and meandering through it. You should do voice over narration to tie things together better. Not subtitles. You have a lot of potential. A for effort.

Wanna hear the plane ❤

😅😅

😂

When you 🙏🙏 the bucket off are you sure that was him standing on the stairs and not somebody else?

I immediately recognized the gas station just outside of Wasilla.

Tq for uploading this video,nice keep it up

Well done

Your a good friend to have thats for sure...I hope that your friend will be found some day.

I hope you found your friend

Cool video! Doo more like this!

Have you seen or heard of anything from him or updates?! I’m sure he’s long been deceased but I’m still thinking of him

STOP WITH THE MUSIC ALREADY. would rather hear that engine.

Wow! Prayers going up for you and your loved ones 🙏🏾🕊️

Very interesting video thank you so much for sharing enjoyed it so much i would love to learn to do this glad your ok

Thank you for all you do for our Veterans!!

It would be great if there was no music. Something as important as this you don't need music.

Wow hop you fine him

God bless Vladd and you!

Mountain Station Vladd!

Over half the trees ye saw on the walk in have blown down in the ever increasing winds we're seeing in addition to the unfrozen ground not able to hold the roots. We are actually a first class city rather than a village. Lots colder this year. Heavy snow caved in a few places.

My Prayers go out to Your Buddy, His Family, His Friends and You, You Are An Amazing Friend, God Bless. Michael -Fresno,Ca

I take it that you, or others, have searched the areas you think Vlad went missing during summer (no snow) and didn't find any traces of clothing or gear he had, so I'm assuming your theory if where he went missing might be wrong. Maybe Vlad disappeared himself. It's been known to have happened many times to others in the past.

Not to be rude but he looks just like the dude from the band Rainbow kitten surprise before he turned transsexual a couple years ago

Never been quite sure why, but I've always wanted to visit Lake Minchumina. Grew up in North Pole and it was too much civilization for me 😆

Happiness is a dry tent😀
