FLOATS ON FIRE | An Aviation Short Film

One year after our last foliage video, we return to Indian Lake New York to fly with Jake in his 1941 Piper Cub above the Adirondacks.

Literally they only thing I watch at normal speed...still can't believe you've only got 3k subs! AMAZING work

[@StealthGoose]

appreciate it!

[@gtarick1225]

No navel gazing, no narcissism, pure aviation/nurture content for those who are like minded... You guys consistently knock it out of the park. Keep up the amazing work! Who cares about the number of views/subscribers.

When my Dad worked for McKinnon in Syracuse he would often fly up to the Adirondack's to the various lakes. He once told me all a pilot really needs is a Cub on floats, a nice lake and a dog. After seeing this video I think he was right.

[@Dandelionclover]

This is hands down the best float flying content I’ve seen. This is an absolute dream.

[@tmcgill2219]

This may well be the most idyllic video I’ve ever seen. Truly God’s country there and in the Autumn it’s at its best. Great photography of the perfect land and waterscapes. Congratulations and thank you!

[@CirrusOwnerCoach]

Beautiful flying, scenery and videography!

[@seapilot4042]

I got a lump in my throat a few times, So, Beautiful. I didn't want it to end.

[@robertcovell2787]

Just watched it again! Who Loves Cubs more than me? ... Nobody!!!

[@georgekokoletsos]

Beautiful !!!! 👌👌🙂

[@birdhaus2021]

Thanks for sharing this jewel. My family were float plane flyers in this neck of the woods. If you don't know who the late "Bus" Bird was, you're missing out on some Adirondack flying lore. Cousin still flys out of Raquette lake, and I'm super happy he's continuing the tradition.

[@mofftucker9658]

My God this is beautiful. This is my literal dream I am working towards right now.

[@natielou143]

Wow! I may need to go out and buy a bucket and a list for this experience. TP eat your heart out.

[@angleofattack]

What a wonderful video. What a great thing to see.. I am from Lock Haven. Still live here, used to work at PiperAircraft here. My first flying lesson was in a J3. It still flys today in Lock Haven. Thats probably one of the nicest videos on the Float Cubs. Thank you for taking us on your journey of the fall. Mel Boone

[@TAT660X]

Love the fall colours 😎

[@VE1PS]

This is simply remarkable. Thank you for sharing.

[@theaeronaut-channel]

Wonderful! As usual, I am watching in loop!

[@TheFlyingStampede]

Super awesome video. Makes me want a Cub (again)!

[@SplashingSeaplanes]

Beautiful video and gives me a whole new impression of New York (all I knew about NY was learned from Seinfeld) from an Alaska/N. Idaho seaplane pilot. Thanks!

[@Karuiko]

Beautiful colors

Wonderful video that shows the beauty of waterflying!

[@mitchschneringer]

AWESOME! By far my favorite aviation content on You Tube. Keep up the great work, its much appreciated.

[@sebastiancarbajo5200]

Great Job!!! Waiting for the next one!

[@_FNQ]

Beautiful!

[@dnobleone]

Wow. Stunning.

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

Fantastic Video. There is a U.K. Piper pilot with that modified his Aircraft because he lost the use of his Legs . You guy's should invite him along. He went up with a guy in Scotland and got stick time in his float plane. He's lots of fun.😁and a fellow You Tuber . His name escapes me. Sorry

[@BackRoadsOutlawsRC]

Wow!!!! One of the best videos I’ve ever seen… Totally jealous of you guys… But love living life through your guy’s eyes!!! Wow

[@RichWellner]

Absolutely gorgeous. I need to shoot more days like this for my channel...

Great video. Floats are simply the best. Excellent quality filming… I’m going to have to up my game with my channel from now on! Best wishes from France.

[@jennifercoate-schulz6024]

Wonderful! I actually have footage of you both flying over me in a kayak at the opening of the Miami River at Lewey Lake, early evening, from mid-July this year. Thanks for the wave!

[@gregpopp4847]

AWESOME video !!!

[@CharlieLamdin]

Great job Ben. I know how much work goes into making my seaplane videos and they aren’t a patch on yours! I’m from England but I fly floats in Maine whenever I can.

[@danielnofal]

Amazing

[@BuzzMoves365]

How are these not millions of views? Totally Bitchin!

[@frednorthup1657]

Very cool. Coffee at south lake tomorrow. 10/28

[@ington66]

Awesome video. Where are you located?? VT or NY? I’m over in Burlington with a Cub on baumanns.

[@vincentpicard3829]

Thanks!

[@StealthGoose]

Thank you for your support!

[@wavewaker2]

Awesome 👏 when I grow up I wanna be like u guys 👍😀 Regarding depth perception, will the tree height reference work?

[@suzannebrewer]

My son loves Piper J 3 Cubs and we found your video after a search for these types of planes. We were also wondering what are the songs that you used for the background music. Do you know who the band is for that first song?

[@mmouseav8r402]

I’m flying 747s, I miss the kind of flying you’re doing.

[@johnnyjohnson6771]

AAA!

[@brettwest549]

Hey there, I fly an Icon A5 out of Lake George. Hit me up if you guys want to connect to fly. I’m up in the ADK’s all the time.
