[@Elektronaut]

[@theworshiptraveler6709]

Awesome little journey. Thanks for taking us along Scott. Really enjoyed it all. 👍

[@careylogan7639]

Epic video Scott!! As You were scanning the view and talking, I too felt the rush of awe inspiring vistas. Thx so much for bringing us along. Beard looks great on you! You have got to be one of my favorite pilots. bookmarked this video and I can guarantee you I will be watching it over and over. Too cool...You're a jewel. see ya in the next video.

[@Mdwells2944]

Thank you for taking us along on such a stunning flight. I was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage from 1981 - 1983 and loved this tour of duty and beautiful state. It is truly called the last frontier for a reason. Such beauty! Also have to say I was stationed in Germany for 4 years and got the awesome opportunity to jump out of this great Porter many times!

[@mikepenhall315]

Super cool experience. Thanks for sharing. That is one of my favorite planes.

[@57eleven1]

One of the best videos I’ve seen. Capturing your overwhelming joy and awe of the moment was a great joy for me to watch. There’s so much out there to see. I try to see as much as I can and live vicariously through folks like you living it and sharing the experience. Thx!

[@ScottPalmerair]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@velocity550]

I remember some of the same inspirational views bringing back my C-310 from Ketchikan to Virginia. I think you made the same mistake I did...I didn't spend any time in Alaska before heading back. I was on a mission to bring the airplane back and didn't stop to see the sights while I was there. I had to go back 20 years later to actually see Alaska. Beautiful and inspiring state.

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

Scott I was sitting here with a broad grin on my face as you were WOWed by the country up home. You were flying over a small bit of the country Dad flew a lot over 70 plus years ago, in aircraft you would be lucky to find in a museum. Yeah you made me a bit homesick and remembering times gone by. Thanks for bringing us along with you for the ride. Safe travels to you.

[@fritz4345]

Great flight in one of my all time favorite planes. Thank you.

[@bobr8766]

Awesome Scott…great vid, good flight!

[@RiderObvious]

You are living my dream. Thanks for sharing!

[@Bang4YerBuck]

Cool plane & nice adventure. Stunning scenery for sure!

[@dustinendicott7314]

Absolutely awesome video Scott, I’m currently doing this flight in the Porter on MSFS2020. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@thomasmitchell6921]

Great trip Scott, thanks for sharing

[@Talasas]

Absolute dream flight, just stunning.

[@tompinnef6331]

Nice to have a video from you. Loved it - I get to see a location that is on my list to go to. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care - be safe.

[@ivansemanco6976]

Fantastic Scott. Thanks.

[@jodyperkins3056]

Awesome flight/video! I was stationed at NAS Whidbey Island for 7 years.

[@72Bluemax]

What an amazing life you have. Great video! Keep them coming.

[@Christopher-bl3tn]

Love your video’s, it’s a dream of mine to go and see those place’s firsthand, thanks for the ride along.

[@jimiemick]

Awesome video thanks Scott!!!!

[@MsRandiCook]

Nice to see a little of your journey! 👍

[@chrispy104k]

Thanks for sharing those views. That's a place I will have to visit.

[@gregjfitzpatrick]

Loved your video Scott: thanks for making it. I'd love to visit those beautiful remote places sometime.

[@michaelguy7168]

Great vid, love the Porter.

[@ezvibe8310]

What a fantastic adventure!

[@tomjohnson4524]

That’s amazing!!! You need to make more videos. You have always made great content

[@philfergus539]

Outstanding...loved the video.

[@AV8R_1]

Great video Scott! Looks like it was an amazing scenic flight! What a way to get a cross country when you do t get to do them much! I always wondered how ferry pilots could make such long flights, especially over open water, in aircraft they are flying for the first time. That’s a lot of faith!

[@ibbylancaster8981]

Love a Porter. I live next to Raeford Skydiving center in North Carolina and they used to fly a Porter. Great airplanes. Glad that you had a safe flight

[@1roanstephen]

Nice to see you again.

[@alexanderwallis7910]

Scott, Makes me want to travel to USA and just explore, awesome scenery and one of my favorite aircraft too. Really enjoy your videos, always special. As a glider pilot and LSA pilot only too keen to explore.

[@TR-on9tx]

Made that trip many a time in 185-206. 737. Good to see some familiar sights.

[@georgeprietz4424]

The pc6 is my favorite plane!!!

[@mnbrown25]

Too cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@corripalmer2724]

What beautiful, beautiful scenery!! Thanks for taking us along Scott ❤️

[@hivolco151]

cool looking ride, and you are sporting the "Alaska Look" real well!

[@justinparker7795]

Damn Scott , this ol retired AgPilot would of loved to made this trip with ya man! Great video, !

[@christosnyman5075]

You’ve got a killer intro there ! Great feel good video!

[@rmiller640]

Nice to see another video Scott. Flown that route a couple times and I had the same reaction. The warm cookies are always good in Yakutat Not sure about R-109. Just as long as you buzz through P-51. That might get a visit from a Whidbey F-18 Growler. Little different that flying around the Palouse

[@scottpecora371]

Scott: I was to Alaska, NWT, Yukon, and the rest of Canada in my youth. It started in childhood as my father was an airline pilot who started in DC-3's and retired in Boeing 757's. His favorite life ong love affair was hunting, fishing and flying. Many a time I got to go along on fishing trips to Yakitat, Juneau, Cordova, Fort Franklin on Great Bear Lake, or Inuvic. I got to see all these places by many different modes. Commercial airliner, private airplane inland passage ferry, motor home, or Goldwing. I'm 60 now with a lousy heart and these things are no longer an option so I have one bit of aged wisdom. Cherish every second that you're getting to do these things my friend, don't take it for granted. If your unlucky and don't get killed doing something you love, there'll come a day you can't. Cherish it All! Scott Pecora. PS: I also got to get a couple hours time in Clay Lacy's heliporter along with Clay. He had a cabin on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho at Pistol Creek for many years and usually flew the Heliporter in. It's a private dirt strip and my family had a cabin back there also and still does. Amazing airplane. Clay generally flew it up from Van Nuys CA in the spring and store it in Boise then fly it back to Van Nuys in the fall. Then he'd either fly Commercial or his Lear to Boise then fly the Porter into the Ranch, or run errands around the Idaho back country. But that's another whole set of stories!

[@Breenild]

Awesome video! I'm from Germany, but I love the Alaskan landscape very much. I already did a lot of simulator flying there and in the US Rockies!

[@igorstranenski5418]

Alaska flying is gorgeous, the fog is something to get used to. In another life I flew from PABR to KLFT, I recorded 3 hrs of go pro great memories. I planed the flight using the interior route, two reasons there very few forced landing areas on your route ( helicopter mentality ); also my parents worked on the AlCan highway in the 1940s the terrain was very difficult according to my parents after seeing it from the air it was an increadable job pushing that road through wilderness. The Greatest Generation keeps on shining.

[@edge540steve]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@MartyG144]

He's back! Always love your videos, man. Keep it up whenever you have time!

[@paulsilva3346]

WOW, Nice facial camo.! Obviously I've not seen you for a while

[@stephenhoover4095]

Nice flying. I hope to see more crop dusting videos sometime.

[@silasmarner7586]

Those are amazing, aren't they?

[@blancolirio]

Good stuff Scott! See ya up there next year!

[@antonebatz7865]

the scenery from above!

[@hayamissle]

Hiya Scott, Awesome video. FYI us Canadians do not have F-16's. We only have 30 year old F-18 Hornets that are past their due date. We also have a couple of Cessna 185 RG that they strapped a slingshot too for defense...lmao

[@jamesmagnum]

Lol, looked for this exact comment! :) They wouldn't bother a fine porter passin' by peacefully:)

[@willz150]

Cool vid. Would be cool at the end to see a map with your exact flight path. I think Scotty Bob has been up to AK flying some mountains. You should go back for that!

[@hecklepig]

Love the PC-6 they use to fly them here in New Zealand taking tourists up to Franz Joseph glacier.

[@Allenagri]

Awesome scenery Scott! Nothing like that here in Australia

[@GolfFoxtrot22]

Thanks for taking us along Scott.

[@gtr1952]

Thanks for doing this Scott, very cool scenery!! I have't heard about too many Porters getting shot down over Canada so I think you were pretty safe there. 8) --gary

[@Authmion]

great video! missed seeing ya!

[@shaunroberts9361]

Dude you are amazing pilot...

[@redbearrc6706]

I never seen this Porter, cool!

[@brentheilman8910]

Beautiful.

[@silasmarner7586]

Fantastic video Scott. Long time no see. I just swing by your channel yesterday wondering, "where is that guy? he has the BEST flying vids".

[@lanceboyett9034]

Nice video. I moved to Alaska Aug 2020 & wish that I had done it sooner. I live in North Kenai about 70 miles before Homer.

[@JohnVHRC]

Cool, Ive flown in and out of Renton a bunch!

[@andrewh9323]

CYR 109 is a military shooting range for ships and aircraft activated by NOTAM. Designated Airspace Handbook will tell you what each Class F airspace is in Section 5.

[@MatthewMiller716]

Flew to Fairbanks from Spokane. Having the chance to explore Fairbanks and Anchorage recently. It's an other wordly beautiful. Shocking really

[@SimonButler]

I have a friend in Winthrop who loves those Porters!

[@WildMigrationNetwork]

Good vid, as a now fossil armchair aviator in Australia, I would love to see some take offs and landing approaches in your vids. Keep 'm coming. Cheers.

[@nelsonpigeau]

Hi Scott, Canada fly's the F-18 (CF-188) Hornets FYI... Very cool flight.. Take care!

[@josesbox9555]

Welcome to my home sir!!

[@hippie.matt.]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Sirmellowman]

you have such a crazy life bro.

[@Frankestein01nl]

lmao! Scott practicing some canadian before crossing the border: "beatiful ketchican town harbour [aboat]" @12m14 (close enough man! great flight, very nice vid and beard.) That airforce closing in will probably consist of canadian geese....

[@nathangreer8219]

Welcome back. Breathtaking scenery. You, uh... need a warm body in the right seat for one these ferry flights?? :)

[@toddamcewen3774]

I've got a cousin that was born in Anchorage and now is a ATC at Anchorage International. And a botherinlaw who is VP of Mark Air no it's Northern Air Cargo all DC-6 s cargo out of Anchorage , AWESOME !!!

[@tommynikon2283]

Scott- welcome to Seattle (eventually); assuming you're going into BFI? If you get into town, I'll buy you a beer! (I'm near the Needle) Love your content- especially all the AG stuff; wow. And given your affinity for the mountains, have you ever thought of relocating to Alaska...because I hear Denali calling. And closer to home, you've always got Rainier. (14,400ft.)

[@charleseinarson]

I learned to fly in Alaska and live south of Seattle. As a kid, all I ever wanted to do was leave but after traveling the world and visiting most of the US, the only place I wanted to be was the great PNW.

[@daveblevins3322]

My last time up that way was 2001 in October that year. I was the first helicopter flight allowed back to the US on a tango victor vfr flight plan to Bellingham. RCAF waved at me over the Queen Charlotte Islands from their F 15's 👋

[@loganwilliss]

I have a pretty lengthy list of dream planes to own and fly, but the Pilatus Porter is way up there no doubt. Would love to visit a dz that has one just to jump out of and also fly a couple loads right seat.

[@flyingmaniac3827]

when you have never seen, this kind of terrain grandeur before, it can take the wind out of you, It is an imposing picture, Frome BC to Alaska, it is a playground to go wild, and it is where I live, nice job Scott, thanks for sharing man.

[@frednorthup1657]

Scott who? I ran that route in may . It was quite a site and I can tell you that is rough remote country you flew over.

[@DeonMitton]

Great video Scott - the SE Icefields, and marine glaciers are awe inspiring - nothing else like that anywhere in the World! The Bagley Icefield and Mt Logan - it's impressive for sure!

[@ryanglutz277]

I have just spent 2 months in SE Alaska on the yacht I work on. Can honestly the most special place I have ever been to. Absolutely incredible.

[@stihlnz]

I know you've got a nice turbine but a lifejacket could be an idea ... dry suit even ? nice flight.Thanks for posting.

[@KaphiasAK]

So awesome to see you stunned by our little corner of the world. SE AK is an amazing place to fly GA. What do you think of the Ombraz shades?

[@f-godz3342]

❤ Porters

[@mickeykeymoaw]

Legend.!

[@davidnelson4707]

thank you for the incredible scenery . so where is the flap and trim wheels on this model. the porter is able to fly a lot higher [but with o2].

[@highmarkrich]

I'd love if you had the ATC/FSS in you videos, because I rarely use them it's always a good reminder how it all works.

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Nice intro... Trent style!

[@tootallno]

Canada does not have F16 CYR 109 (F) military training area. Only restriction when active

[@TimberTramp]

Sussy air….great job!

[@thomasellis7625]

CYR109 should be a military training area, you would’ve flown by another one near Comox or Nanaimo. Comox is the air base

[@plane-fuzz]

oUTSTANDING! > I LIKE IT!

[@mountainfunguy5657]

Back at it Scott? Love Alaska se cept the daylight hour changes every 6 months. Looks like the Olympics and San Juan’s on steroids! How do you like the Ketchikan airport across the water from the town?!! Thanks for the film

[@rmiller640]

The ferry ride is to long 😳
