Turboprop Pontoon Boat! Cessna Caravan on Amphib Floats

[@ryannygaard3659]

Heads up call on the gear Matt! Glad someone up front was asking questions!

[@steveshaw8003]

Another incredible video, getting me very excited for Oshkosh all over again! Tom Dafoe was such a incredible man and a inspiration to live up to! ❤

[@spyroXcynder1000]

This has been, and will always be, my dream plane. I've loved it since I first saw one as a young kid

[@birdwing98]

It only takes one lotto ticket to win.

[@canonballsimp]

Yeah me too! Don't have many of them here in Europe though

[@michaelfraser5723]

Probably the most fun you can have in a pair of shorts.

[@flyhighkev]

I flew right seat in that plane in Burlington VT July '23; landed on lake Champlain and jumped off the wing too.

[@gogofuntime_yt]

that callout on landing is hilarious. "GEAR IS DOWN FOR RUNWAY LANDING."

[@batmanthe5749]

NIce pic of the Seaplane base, volunteered there in 22, will in 23 stop in and visit....... Thx

[@slgarrett]

Usually when I think C-208 I think, “We do weddings and funerals.” I love how this is big enough to really do many of the things you’d want to do with a boat but it’s a plane!

[@uvupilot3233]

You've got me excited for OSH23. Can't wait!

[@OshowAfrica]

Amazing. Looking forward to flying a seaplane

[@fatesandmyths]

What an adventure! Looks cool to take a dunk in the middle of the lake from an airplane. Flying it half naked afterwards looks good too.:-)

[@TheFlyingZulu]

The guy wants to put gear down for a water landing. After take off... "I'll get the frequencies figured out". "Speed is good, we'll bring it down to, oh i dunno 80, 85 knots on final..." Stay safe y'all. lol.

[@fishhisy]

My trick with keeping the "wacking" off the governor is bring the torque up to bring the prop to full rpm then the power lever can be briskly brought up to takeoff torque

[@planesairbornebymalikclark2806]

Yep I do the same!

[@MartyG144]

Good catch on the gear!

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

LOL, this guy supposedly has 150 hours on this plane and called gear down water landing. OOPS. At least someone was paying attention.

[@conradboss]

Flip over and drown with wheels down on water landing?😮

[@rogerclarke3291]

How stable is that plane that you can jump off the end wing tip ! Awesome Video. Thanks for posting.

[@Riverboat374]

That was my dream decades ago. Get rich enough to retire and go bumbing around in a Caravan on floats.

[@rockytop5654]

On the adventure of a lifetime Matt. I would pay to go on one flight with you. keep up the journey dude.

[@sventvicktoristvan9606]

Good on Ya Matt…………thanks for your time.

[@jonclassical5710]

Geez.....that thing is HUGE!!!

[@RestorationsbyPhil]

Yep, if that plane was new I bet video of jumping off the wing would void the warranty! But how cool is that (sigh)? Everything about the Caravan 208 makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Tennessee

[@midwestlegacy1919]

Bruh, I pray one day I have the financial ability to go on the adventures u put out on here. I've been training to get my PPL for almost 2 years, FAA and financial related setbacks have really screwed me since 2021. However, I'm glad I'm so close to finishing. Your videos are awesome

[@kristinjohnson3655]

Spoiled trust fund babies spewing their garbage on the internet because they were slapped around in school deserve critics.

[@OneTequilaTwoTequila]

Peach fuzz needs to have this airplane taken away from him and be put back in a C-172. Calling for the gear on a water landing is inexcusable. Matt put the gear handle down, too, but then picked up on the error, at least. ALWAYS think before you flip any switch or operate any control.

[@belugast]

Cool vlog 😊

[@fourfortyroadrunner6701]

Well, "OK" but isn't using the thing for a diving platform a bit hard on the sheet metal?

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

A control surface could be damaged

[@TheJustinJ]

That girl is not exactly a WWE star. She was petite. And in no case walked on an aileron or flap. A grand caravan is not a 152. It has relatively strong skins. I doubt the aircraft was damaged for a photo shoot. If it was, it would be visible.

[@skyepilotte11]

Flying boat literally...fine job...

[@merc340sr]

Somebody was walking and dove off the wing?!? The wing can support the weight of one person?

[@AdventuresonTour]

Saw one of these aircraft years ago. Crazy how tall they are.

[@stealhty1]

Nice

[@markushandlemeyer6717]

What PIC would allow pax to go up on the wings? Are you insane? Does the owner know this happened?

[@kurtflip2]

Crazy how they just act like this is casual… my god, all my life we told to me that going up on a wing of any plane was totally the thing that we dont want to do…

[@shable1436]

They do now 😂

[@glendini6249]

You told him to take his speed to Vne? For flaps? Mean Vfe?

[@mwmentor]

Thanks Matt - your skills as a pilot and your calmness continue to impress me. You are really good at what you do! Thanks for all the great videos and I wish you and your family and friends everything of the best as you continue your journeys into the new year and beyond. Be well and I am looking forward to watching your next video adventure. 🎉👍🙂

[@crissd8283]

Do they not do any readbacks at Oshkosh?

[@sm3xym3xican76]

Not really, there's so much going on that they don't really want you doing readbacks unless they're asking you a question

[@altacat9702]

...we flew under a Bonanza in a 737 between Halifax and Toronto ... the piolet let us all know ... just curious if it was yours ??

[@alexandersheppard1997]

Letting people get on the wings is super disrespectful to the owner of the airplane. If you're not stepping on ribs, you WILL dent the sheet metal, or what happens when somebody slips with wet feet and gets hurt? That is an airplane, not a toy. Not cool dude.

[@idekav.]

i dont see a dent buddy.

[@shable1436]

[@kushagramittal4275]

Stupid things people do for views. Matt is definitely very talented pilot but his videos definitely showcase his complacency. Not a very good example new pilots

[@NathanElcoate]

Surprised the wings are strong enough to run and jump off 🙀

[@GonTanakaII]

Keep in mind that the wings carry the aircraft through the air. They are designed to take high loads. To give you a perspective, the wingload on a Cessna Caravan is 31.3 lbs./sq. ft. (152,82 kg / sqm).

[@NathanElcoate]

@@GonTanakaII I'd be more paranoid of dinging them or damaging the ends.
