That old footage, from that sweet camera, of the plane on floats with the kids is just fantastic
@michaelr.48784 жыл бұрын
That old footage truly shows just how small our world has become due to the internet and advanced communications in general. Just think if Mikey and the team were working on this project in 1985 (I was 4 years old). He would be routing through books at the library and contacting people within the hobby and professional aviation community...praying that he 'might' find a few photographs of the plane. But today, in the year 2020, he gets actual personal footage of the plane AND gets to talk to the person who has a personal connection and story with that footage. It is truly remarkable.

Mikey, you're getting really good at this! That opening sequence--from the Yellowknife welcome sign through the taxiing chug of the C-46 gracefully swinging its tail around in the northern winter predawn--might be the envy of any fine filmmaker. Deftly understated and anticipatory. Beautiful to look at.

I posted on your last tigermoth video, but there is more to planesavers than just planes. The community, the history, and what that means to each person. Watching your dad re-live the tigermoth and get excited about it, and have people from the group contribute, that's what it is all about. That is plane savers. DR1 is a fun project, but with DTD and the tigermoth, there is more too it. And its damn cool to be a tiny part of this community!

I always still find it amazing in life how for over probably 50 years or more, no one who is relevant to saving this plane has seen this lost footage, it just disappeared into the sands of time. It truly is amazing to know what hides away in basements and attics on old cameras. Just think of all the stuff about our own vintage cars or aircraft that may be hiding away. Great job Mikey and Merry Christmas! Best real channel on youtube... better then ice pilots in my honest opinion and I loved ice pilots!

Mikey, I think its amazing your father and his legacy in Aviation. He knows his planes and his attachment to the planes and aviation is very obvious. Its something that gets into your blood. I have one Cessna and knowing the plane and its parts is something of an obsession. Occasionally I will airline from seattle, up over the Arctic and to Dubai for business. I think about you guys as I fly over the YK. Keep up the great vlog. Love it.
