Déjà Vu, Alaska - A Flying Short Film

[@AN2Felllla]

I love the "hasn't been painted or washed since 1955" look of that 170. Something about it just really cool!

[@Aviation101]

I think this is the best aviation video I've ever seen on KZbin. Such amazing work, sir!

[@CorrectContrarian]

MrAviation101 sir you are correct. Ditto that 100%

[@BackcountryPilot]

Thanks!

[@Prairie7777]

I must concur. Awesome footage and what a fantastic place to fly, experience and explore. Can't wait to get back up there and get back into the outback flying!!!!! There's nothing better............PERIOD!!!

[@norrisjackson2136]

Aviation101 jday Kim,m I’m.

[@markstrain8989]

[@steveo1kinevo]

Outstanding video! The scenery, editing, narration. 10/10

[@BackcountryPilot]

steveo1kinevo thanks Steveo!

[@xX_Skraith_Xx]

This is torture to a pilot who hasn't been able to fly recently, but I can't stop watching! The little changes in the pitch of the engine, the wobbles in the wings, the sound of the plane touching down on the gravel, the motion of the Cubs going into a steep bank right after takeoff sets off a twinge in my gut. I can feel my stomach move with the planes, hear my instructor telling me to feel the airplane move through the seat of my pants like it was just earlier today. I can feel the vibrations of the engine as the RPMs change, feel that indescribable feeling when your wheels leave the ground. My hand subconsciously tightens like I'm pulling back on the stick, my leg muscles twitch like I've got rudder pedals under my feet. I can't help but smile as each scene sends memories springing to the forefront of my mind, of good times, scary times, learning times. I yearn to actually be there, to actually feel the plane in my gut. It makes me realize that flying is really what I'm meant to be doing. It's what I love, and I can't get enough.

[@kongxiong1422]

17 years in Alaska, I would like to start my passion in piloting, like I should of done so 12 years ago. This videos continues to give me hope that I can still do it. Thank you for a beautiful and inspiring film.

[@CanyonF]

have you done it yet?

[@mikem720]

Stars of the Lid ! RFDM

[@tripslip38]

Good ear.

[@matthewcirnigliaro9124]

I've watched your previous Alaska film at least 50 times. I thought that was the coolest video on all of KZbin. That is until I saw this one. Somehow you've raised the bar even further, and renewed my total infatuation with bush flying all over again. Phenomenal film!

[@lvwpy]

Just way better than any movie!

[@Jeensy99]

Gotta love Larry's landing technique to avoid gear damage lmao! Great Job :)

[@zip7806]

YYYYEEEEESSSSS........ Great Job on the M.A.S.H. Theme song. MASH is what got me obsessed with Helicopters as a Child.

[@jetlag410]

You have the BEST edits I’ve seen! Your narration’s are epic! Great job!

[@BrianBushRacing]

I've watched this video at least 10 times. More please!

[@wallybrown9509]

Now this is a high quality backcountry flying video. Finally!

[@the_crazy_airman]

The quality of the filming as well as the piloting skills are just fantastic!

[@manuelsantana8183]

I am a Pilot from Brazil and this is one of the best aviation videos I have ever seen! The quality is fantastic! Good job!

[@wingnutzster]

The best and most sincere aviation production I have ever seen! That's all

[@howardhagan1398]

In 2001 I had the privilege of seeing exactly what these Alaskan Bush pilots could do. BEYOND AMAZING. I spent about 5 months outside Big Lake and was privileged enough to get a total of 8 hours of flying in myself. There are no better pilots on Earth than the ALASKAN BUSH PILOTS

[@stickman3580]

Excellent video, thanks for producing it. Some trivia for you- N185SN once belonged to Steve and Norma Knopp of Pponk fame. We hauled fish with it out of King Salmon back in the 80s.

[@BackcountryPilot]

Wow, that IS cool. I'm sure Kyle is aware, but I had no idea.

[@FalconImagery]

Absolutely love the sights and sounds, and narration, of this video. The C-185 engine sounds peacefully haunting in the serene beauty and backdrop of the Rohn airstrip.

[@me109av8r]

This is beauty on so many levels. Thank you so much for bringing it to us.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Excellent video. Very well put together. It gave me some ideas for my videos. Thanks

[@SteeveohRising]

Stunning film. I'm a fan of all your aviation films, but Déjà Vu, Alaska may be a favorite for a long time. Thanks for taking us along.

[@vol222nuit]

When I was a kid I dreamed of flying fast jets, as a young adult I dreamed of flying big jets. Now that I'm over 50, aviation paradise is in Alaska, and you bush pilots are elected. You practice one of the 2 purest forms of aviation, the other is the one I practice: mountain gliding ... Thank you for sharing this with us, your images are absolutely superb. You have a lot of talent. Friendly greetings from France.

[@stevehutchesson1321]

Planes look like a ton of fun, the scenery is magic but the short take offs and landings early in the video were truly something.

[@robertbraun7155]

I love seeing these older planes that are still to this day the best for that type of flying and still being maintained and used for what they were meant for..

[@marksmith402]

Just Fantastic!! Thank You!

[@sssigsauer2266]

Some of the best scenery I’ve seen on KZbin, some beautiful planes and flying in the video too. Put all these things together and you have a video that brings a tear to your eye. Cause your not there but still get to see it. Or could be just me.

[@troyottosen8722]

As, so true I live here and have flown with some great Alaskan pilots, no place compares to Alaska flying, simple!!!

[@djvectrex]

So beautiful and awesome, well done!! What can be better than that? Those birds are incredible, the STOL's wow!! Thank you for this amazing video, keep them coming! Safe skies!

[@conradclipper]

Stars of the Lid on the soundtrack to the subject I care most about in the world. You, sir, are a good person.

[@BackcountryPilot]

You have a good ear.

[@conradclipper]

@@BackcountryPilot Thanks! I'm a huge STOL fan and I've only just realised as I type this that Stars Of The Lid = STOL... almost ;) More importantly: beautiful film mate, thank you. Inspiring to a learner like me.

[@rushlogue]

I have been anticipating this video for what seems like forever. Thank you for delivering

[@paulve6345]

One of the most beautiful aviation videos on KZbin. Beautiful drone shots. Beautiful locations. Just awesome. Keep doing!

[@FLY8MA]

absolutely love it!

[@justinparker7795]

your films are priceless! need more, please

[@martinmalone9181]

Excellent. Everything!!

[@jalbert222]

GREAT video...and the first video I've watched in a few years with the proper use of music! Well done.

[@andreypredelsky7295]

It was a great pleasure for me! Thanks so much.

[@Dan737MASTER]

I waited in anticipation. I was not disappointed. Thoroughly enjoyed every second of this. Easily the best work I’ve seen from you, and you just keep getting better man! Great job.

[@mattWallJsy]

This film gets 11 out of 10! Simply amazing footage and superb narration. Will definitely be watching over and over. Good work! 👍🏼

[@TheWindigomonster]

Bush flying and trifonic! I would’ve waited twice as long for this beauty and still been satisfied

[@BackcountryPilot]

TheWindigomonster good ear...good taste!

[@racko651]

Yes! Finally

[@mattdavis6769]

That highcountry is a beast !!!

[@gertrudebartlet505]

Beautiful edit. Thanks for sharing your art with us.

[@BackcountryPilot]

Gertrude Bartlet where the hell have you been?

[@theamerican383]

I loved the MASH theme song. killing it

[@scotabot7826]

Wow, That blue and white 170B is stunning. That guys panel tells me all I need to know about the rest of the airframe!!!!

[@Mike7478F]

Neat bud. A far cry from the maddening crowd. Looks magic.

[@bobgillis1137]

Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing !

[@minkorrh]

Wow! Awesome short landing and takeoff. Cool.

[@Cherokee140Pilot]

Amazing sights and sounds of Back Country Flying. Very inspiring!

[@TheWindigomonster]

20:00 the sound of that engine is so unbelievably cool

[@79-airtime]

This is incredible :O

[@navalavi8er]

Hey 737 pilot here, flying out of Canada. I'm going back to flying the turboprop with everything going on with the COVID. Just came on here to get a break from the training. Jealous of what you all get to do. Love the tradition, keep it up gentlemen!

[@BackcountryPilot]

Well, consider that it's just a movie of footage from a short period of time, telling the story I want to be living. I returned home to my 2 kids and the grind as a software developer. Since having kids I fly about 25 hours per year. It sucks. At least you're in the cockpit!

[@apergiel]

Low and slow love it! I especially liked the scene of the cessna holding 30 feet short of the active 2-track gravel runway(20' wide?) that was pointed at a very large immovable mountain......and that sketchy punk blue paint scheme.

[@mikestone9129]

A really nice video. The narration was just right. Not to much, not to little. Great job.

[@photo_rohan]

The sound of Kyle's skywagon is truly something incredible. Love this video!

[@robfraley4210]

Excellent piece of work. 👍 I liked the 2nd piece best, probably because I use to have a Nice Blue & white 1952 C-170B.... 😃

[@MurkaTr]

Fantastic :) Great job.Amazing views and drone flights.Thanks.

[@mflacke]

Yet more amazing inspiration to fly. Thank you and Backed!

[@BackcountryPilot]

Flacke thank you for the support!!

[@justinsquire4212]

Well done, produced & edited guys!..One of the best I've seen.

[@chrismuir4697]

Amazing footage, fantastic job at an amazing area. The M.A.S.H. scene killed me though, you guys rock!

[@benstockert1219]

Absolutely stunning scenery & one of my favorite KZbin videos, thank you for posting.

[@jamesrobbie2869]

[@olafurmikaelsson4794]

VOD800 well Iceland is in Europe and we have this - the trees

[@beargrylles2185]

Magnificent flying and videography. I doubt there is any better aviation than Alaskan bush flying. I watch in envy from the United Kingdom wondering how i can get myself a plane and experience such a thing.

[@SpainCub]

Great production Zzz! Dying of envy...

[@Toma_Stoichkov]

Amazing video! I almost cried how beautiful everything is up there and the fun you guys had with those beautiful planes!

[@47EZ_DRIVER]

Deserves more recognition
