Flying in Alaska with pure sound

[@goflyjeff]

Thanks for not putting any dumb music in this amazing video. The Beaver's sounds are music to my ears!

[@peterusa6985]

100% Thank you for watching

[@ohwell2790]

This is how aviation videos should be. It has always made me wonder why anyone who fly's puts music in the video when the sound of flight is just remarkable. Thank you.

[@peterusa6985]

Thank you for watching

[@rudyrobertson1540]

Damn, whoever maintains that aircraft has done a great job. One of the cleanest DHC2 cockpits I have seen.

[@peterusa6985]

Yes, looks really nice

[@АлексейОсинин-о8ш]

No dust on the water is a real pie.

[@GRANITEMONUMENT]

Yeah, that one screw in the cowling would make my ocd crazy..

[@peterusa6985]

Triggered mine 😂

[@nonnisusu3968]

My dad used to love to hunt at Heckman. They would rent the forest service cabin and fly in. Later they lived further down the Naha at Orton Ranch. I need to get back for a visit.

[@peterusa6985]

Awsome place

[@kikeeseesel]

Man, this was so relaxing for me! As a tourist who frequents the USA a lot I would rather know these small towns and their people, have dinner at a seaside restaurant or enjoy the forests and the wilderness than visiting The Big Cites. Reminds me of my childhood flying cessnas with Dad (:

[@MegaPeedee]

I liked that last bit, where the aircraft went up that tilt ramp. And what a beautifully maintained classic it is.

[@johannesschmidt9580]

Great video. With the recent release of the new DHC2 Beaver in MSFS, this vid will get many more views.

[@TheMikeification]

Welp time to get my wallet out again for another MSFS 2020 plane. At least the virtual 100LL is a lot cheaper. xD

[@Jack-id4qm]

@@TheMikeification Beaver is free for anyone who owns the game! :))

[@TheMikeification]

@@Jack-id4qm Oh my god no way, that’s awesome! I had no idea 😆

[@ralphbooger4756]

@@TheMikeification for the 40th anniversary of msfs, asobo bought a few planes from addon creators that were intended to be payware and released them all for free. i think the beaver is the one from misviz, and the dc3 is the one from aeroplane heaven... and more, 40th anniversary is a pretty good update if you like classic planes!

[@DanBlake3rd]

It we be great to have LAT/LON data for departure and arrival points so we could recreate the flight in the sim.

[@garylucas6511]

Thanks for the pure sound with no background music!

[@peterusa6985]

I'm glad you liked it 😊

[@kurtovesen2975]

wow the best video of this kind i have seen. no stupid music ore talking just the great airchraft engine sounding great and love that cocpit filming.

[@peterusa6985]

Thank you

[@caaront]

Perfect landing, I was waiting to hear it set down, but he already had.

[@АлексейОсинин-о8ш]

3:36 Precise mooring to the pier from the move exactly to zero. Great job!

[@TheOneTrueSpLiT]

I adore flying the beaver, in VR, in MSFS 😊

[@erikostlund07]

What’s your setup?

[@TheOneTrueSpLiT]

@@erikostlund07 PC is home build Ryzen 9 3900X, RTX 4070, 32GB G.Skill RAM, mobo B550M PRO-VDH WIFI, VR is Quest 2. Is that what you wanted?

[@SternDrive]

Well, That was my first take off and landing in a pontoon plane. Very smooth. Thanks for a wonderful flight.

[@jonathanolsen7254]

use to do that in Kodiak, in the 70s on a 172 with floats, man that was the life..

[@mats-c-133]

Beautiful video. First time I saw Ketchikan Airport from above. Thanks for sharing!

[@peterusa6985]

First time in Ketchikan for me Hopefully not last 😉

[@quackgarage9551]

This was simply amazing... Great flying, great plane and great video. We need more!

Dang, that one lake has more trees around it than I've seen in my entire life! What an absolutely _gorgeous_ area of the world! And, what an absolutely _gorgeous_ aircraft to travel in!!

Just love this video. Flying in MSFS is really "as real as it gets." Thanks for posting. Hope you do more videos like this in the future. Excellent!

[@peterusa6985]

Thank you 😊

[@Taliyon]

This is a great showing of the experience. I hope you had fun!

[@peterusa6985]

Thank you Whole trip was awesome flying, fishing, being outside with beautiful nature Great time

[@pahoskins]

Great video! I'd like to see a closer shot of the docking ramp.

[@mothmagic1]

Like Canada I imagine there are many settlements in Alaska that rely on float planes with a decent cargo lifting ability for their very existence. On tick over the R-985 sounds like an overgrown Harley

[@goflyjeff]

The transition from Earth to Heaven and Heaven to Earth were joyous, however I couldn't tell when that actually happened. This video has inspired me to become a much better pilot. Thank you! 🙂

[@peterusa6985]

You welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. Means a lot.

[@johndunstan3875]

Best engine sound.

[@bernardanderson3758]

Love the still water takeoff and very smooth with this Beautiful aircraft and the power settings are perfect

[@birdwing98]

Outstanding audio and flying. Thanks for posting!

[@peterusa6985]

Thank you

[@America2gether]

Thnak You for bringing back memories of my time in Alaska flying Beavers out of Anderson with CAP. No music! Just the jugs....masterpiece

[@davidfrediani4965]

Looks like flying into Ketchikan. I used to load air freight for Coastal/Tyee air back in the '70s and flew on some runs as well. De Haviland Beaver is a great plane!

[@stevekamm9117]

my father flew for coast air

[@ThorNjord]

Hi Peter! Great vid with beautiful scenery. Can you tell us where you took off and landed please?

[@GrumpyForester]

Not sure where he took off from, but it looks like at 16:28 he is landing in Ketchikan...

[@perferre1]

This is out to Misty Fjords I believe, but yes it is out in Ketchikan, and the operator is Sea Wind Aviation!

[@hudsonwade1089]

100% Ketchikan and Seawind. I believe the pilot is Steve Kamm or one of his relatives. Maybe point baker? All I can tell you is it's not Port Protection because I've flown between there and Ketchikan. They have many destinations.

[@ttesheba]

Beautiful Sound Radial Engine, classic flight Beaver

[@peterusa6985]

Yes sure souds great. Thanks 👍

[@Demandog3]

Thanks for the treat....I've always wondered!

Te lo voy a decir el Español! He disfrutado cada segundo del video. Precioso y espectacular! enhorabuena!

Good video. Only it would have been nice to have a close-up at the end where the aircraft comes up out of the water.

[@peterusa6985]

Man! What's not to love. A P&W 985 behind a three bladed prop bolted to a beautiful DHC2 Beaver.

[@juricacakaric5535]

Am i seeing wrong or does this beaver have electronic flaps? So cool....... 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stevekamm9117]

yes not that wild about it.

[@davido1953]

Can you post where you are flying?

[@rixi757]

Oh, so lovely. Thank you.

[@peterusa6985]

[@Breenild]

That cockpit looks like delivered yesterday but this plane is for sure at least 60 year old

[@peterusa6985]

Agree 💯% Everything made back then was made to last

[@ikhlaquechan7463]

Nice plane! And nice job keeping it so shiny!

[@hudsonwade1089]

It belongs to a company named SeaWind Aviation out of Ketchikan, Alaska. Pilot appears to be Steve Kamm, the owner. This is a chartered, air taxi, or sightseeing flight, which is likely why it is so maintained.

[@jliltd]

Okay. I give up. What is the make of the PFD / MFD electronic instruments right in front of the pilot? I've been trying to find anything that look similar online. Intrigued.

[@mikenyagawa3929]

Absolute beautiful!!

[@acecoondog]

Steve's one of the best!

[@frisk151]

Real work of art

[@alpham777]

Guy literally hopped out while it was still moving like yup I know where its going.

[@HuckThis1971]

Beaver, CL-415 are my favorite aircraft.

[@GRANITEMONUMENT]

I’m sure he knows his surroundings better than I, but seemed from video at least, he was a bit short on altitude in a few areas, but I have to say he’s flying a beaver in the back country, for money, I pay to fly a Cherokee around the traffic pattern.. so I’m sure he is most likely much higher than it looks, clean plane, great pilot , and the absolute best back country flying in the world..

[@Kingfisher83]

Man that was fun to watch!

[@peterusa6985]

Thank you

[@stewartaubel3842]

Awesome flying in that beautiful Beaver! question, what is the RPM operating range? can you cruise at ..lets say 1700 _ 1800 RPM? Thank you!

[@stevekamm9117]

1900 cruise

[@alpham777]

Truly a master of his craft.

[@rigilchrist]

Marvellous, though I would have liked it even more without the post-production flashing gimmicks and framing to make it look like an old film - it doesn't work and is just annoying. Well done for not adding music though.

[@RainbowFriendsCyan]

is that a sony stereo? guess not too much to hear on flying radio

[@bernardanderson3758]

This is what I always wanted to do is flying with a company in Alaska in the Beavers

[@TARAetJOHN]

YES , NO MUSIC , WELL DONE
