[@frankthomas855]

Amazing busy day at the seaplane base. Just a little love for the big yellow sulfur pile! Thanks Corrie...

@frankthomas855, Frank, you make me chuckle. Yes, a little love for the big yellow sulphur pile. I am truly grateful for your always kind words and support, thank you. Heading to Vancouver tomorrow for a weekend of seaplane spotting. I hope the weather is alright. Best....Corrie

Just found this channel. I love to watch float planes at Coal Harbour downtown Vancouver. It brings back nice memories. Great job!

[@leftcoastcorrie]

Etienne, I'm grateful you've found the lounge. I'm thrilled you found your front row seat to all the seaplane action. I was in Vancouver this past weekend filming at Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, it was an amazing. I finally have footage of Harbour Air's newest edition to the fleet, the Twin Otter with the Canadian flag livery. I have more great content on the way. Thanks for your kind words, engagement and support, I am truly grateful. Best....Corrie

Happy Saturday Corrie, have a great weekend. As always a great video. Nice to see so much action. Much Beavering there. And we still don't know ehy the Grand Caravanis in nonstandard markings

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@mothmagic1, Ian, I am heading to Vancouver tomorrow, I will see what I can find out about the non-standard Grand Caravan colours. This was an action packed video, with a heavy influence of Beaver action....lol. Thanks Ian for your always kind words, engagement and support, I am truly grateful. Best...Corrie

Another visit to the lounge on a weekend. Nice video of the comings and goings, Corrie. Those ATC operators did a great job with flight separation on a busy day, but at least it seemed quite calm wind 🌬 / wave 🌊 wise.

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@Astromechy, It took me hours of listening, but I finally almost understand what is transpiring between ATC and the pilot. I think ATC does an amazing job and it never ceases to amaze me how skilled the pilots are. I finally figured out the when they are talking a "309", it starts with 3, which is dhc-3, ATC would call this Express 309, so I know it's an Otter, a Twin starts with 6 dhc-6, and a Beaver for some reason is 5 and the helicopters are 7. Hope all is well on the other side of the pond. Hoping to make it over to Vancouver tomorrow morning. Weather looks good. Thanks for your always kind words, engagement and support. Best....Corrie

@@leftcoastcorrie 😮 When you said "other side of the pond", I thought you were thinking that I was in England! 😊

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@Astromechy, I get how you would think that.....oops....lol. Best....Corrie

@mikeperdomo2108, Mike, I am truly grateful for your kind words and support, thank you. If you make it to Victoria, I will be happy to show you where are the best seaplane spotting are. I'm going to Vancouver tomorrow morning for some epic seaplane spotting, I hope the weather holds. Hope all is well with you. Best....Corrie

[@robertwoodwardwoodward247]

orrie, is the HA Cessna Grand Caravan the newest plane in the HA fleet ? Lots of action, love it 😀.

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@robertwoodwardwoodward247, You are correct, this Grand Caravan is the newest plane in the HA fleet, 2018. Robert, I am truly grateful for your always kind words, engagement and support, thank you. Was just in Vancouver for the past few days seaplane spotting, it was spectacular. I completely forgot to ask why this particular Grand Caravan has different livery, silly me. Lots more action on the way! Best....Corrie

[@gettingold59]

About 10.26 a boat raced across the path of a landing twin otter??????????? Have a good long weekend my lady and as usual well done🙃

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@gettingold59, Allan, I thought the same....silly boater. I'm heading to Vancouver tomorrow for a seaplane spotting adventure, I hope it's not too cold and the weather is decent, fingers crossed. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for your always kind words, engagement and support. Best...Corrie

@@leftcoastcorrie no rain and about 14 c so you should be ok if you don't hung up on ferry bookings. Have my dear

[@gettingold59]

fun

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@gettingold59, Allan, fun is my favourite part. I feel like a kid going to hang out with my friends. As much as the trip is work, it's work that makes me happy and fulfilled. I'm such a geek.....lol. Best....Corrie

[@Astromechy]

The boater certainly made for a bit of an anxious moment, but I think they were outside of the restricted zone. I think they were almost as far out as the Seabus route.
