Worlds Most STUNNING Airport? ✈️🏔️ Flying to New Zealand's Milford Sound

[@kynanyu]

Mate! that was an epic edit of out adventure into Milford sound! Thanks so much for coming along and tagging me in! much appreciated and can’t wait for you to get back to Nz and we can go fly again……or I 0:01 get to Alaska to visit your backyard!

Cannot wait for more flying adventures, my friend! It's only the beginning! Thanks again for the awesome time.

[@paolobernardi6835]

Gorgeous! That’s why we fly!

[@piratechris6384]

I felt the emotions you expressed. The music was absolutely perfect. Well played sir, well played.

[@greymarck]

The scenery of NZ is simply a slice of heaven that by some miracle stayed accessible here on earth. I see amazing scenery flying in Idaho but this is another level. Someday I hope to get there. Grateful for your host and you sharing this!

[@kiwipumbaa]

Great to see you and the family visiting Aotearoa New Zealand. I drive coaches into Milford Sound, it is a very special corner of the World. I have had the privilege to fly out on only a couple of occasions, an amazing experience even for those of us who live in the region. It looks like Kynan hosted and looked after you all with some great kiwi hospitality. Great video keep it up.

[@angleofattack]

Very cool that you drive busses there! We considered that option. Obviously we chose the best way. But, this is a pretty incredible place. We loved it. And yes, the hospitality was incredible.

[@kevincollins8014]

So awesome to not only see you get to fly there but with your son! Thanks for sharing this amazing video with us all guys.

[@angleofattack]

It means everything that I get to share this with my kids.

[@paulrichardson6804]

Great to have you here, been viewing your channel for ages, and hooking up with Kynan was a good move. I spoke to a young Milford pilot a couple of months ago and he didn’t want to do the promotion to airline thing as he loved flying in the sound too much…

[@angleofattack]

Sounds like that Milford pilot is a smart lad. Had no idea how cool Kynan was before I got there. Pleasantly surprised how great he and his family are!

[@nancyjain2442]

This was beautifully done and thank you for sharing!

[@rodstewart9369]

This was great, inspirational, a really well made video and a brilliant flight to do. As a low time private pilot and having done a tourist flight in that area I felt like I could almost hear Kynan's brain working overtime on making that a safe and successful flight. I can imagine the planning that must have gone into this!

[@kynanyu]

It’s always such a great flight in to Milford! Have to pinch myself every time!

[@angleofattack]

Yeah, that wasn't lost on me for sure. I just got to sit back and be happy about it all. If I was in that position, it would certain be more business.

[@FunPlacesToFly]

Love it! Had to share...

[@pilottadeus3748]

Absolutely gorgeous views. Thank you very much for sharing ;) My flying bucket list are the dolomites!

[@geraldsmithart1708]

Now that was just truly amazing! I have been following you for a very long time on my private channel. I lost my dad at age 10 in an aircraft accident, today at age 57, still crazy about aviation, you have made this sooo special for me. Getting to have your son experience this with you is really awesome to me. Before my dad passed I had the privilege of enjoying special early morning flights with him in a Piper Cherokee 140. Will always be in my memory. I have had some flying with friends in the past but I only get to fly in MSFS2020 most of the time, and I am just crazy about this airport in the sim, and getting to see it "almost" for real here with you and your son, is simply amazing! Definitely a bucket list place to visit! And seeing the emotions you hade while filming this, also made it very special in my opinion, showing your followers what the beauty of aviation can be. I have had a lifelong dream of visiting Alaska and getting to fly there just once. That would be my ultimate bucket list item! Finances does not allow that for the moment, but who knows, maybe in the future... But this video, and the music you added, made me feel emotional but so happy at the same time! Wonderful videos you do and keep this kind of content coming!

[@hotbug597]

My oh my. Thank you so so much for taking us along on this amazing journey. I’ve flown along with you in your Alaska adventures on the Tube. I had thought you would never be able to top the Alaska scenery. Well, I stand corrected. New Zealand is more than amazing. Like Alaska, it is God’s country. Being able to take your son with you is the icing on the cake. Thanks again for the top notch video. I will be watching this over and over again.

[@paulthreadgill150]

Awesome Chris! One of the best videos you’ve ever done. I need to see a bit more of my back yard - venture out a bit further than Kaikoura. Well done.

[@angleofattack]

We went to Kaikoura! Man, the whole place is just amazing. Can't wait to go back. Where do you live?

[@yowie69]

Another great video trip. Campervanned our way around the Sth Island in 2010, Milford was amazing. Married to a kiwi living in Australia, we are so blessed to have that paradise on our doorstep..

[@angleofattack]

We campervanned ourselves! Was the trip of a lifetime. Although we do plan on going back very soon.

Hey, student pilot learning out of our capital city, Wellington. So happy you got to fulfil a dream of coming down here. It's a long way from Alaska! I'm glad your NZ trip was memorable for the right reasons. We love it when new friends showcase our country, and bringing your family must have made just that experience even more magical. Kia Ora

Good memories here. I took off from Queensland and landed here. Took the boat ride out to the Tasman Sea. Incredible scenery. Enjoyed every minute of it. That's something your son will never forget.

[@NSos4419]

Absolutely amazing! My wife and I went there for our honeymoon! In two weeks, we were there exactly a year ago. This immediately took me back to our helicopter flight through Milford sound (I’m pretty sure it was that exact Eurocopter you have in your video). It’s an amazing country, and we cannot wait to return. Soak it all up while you can!!

[@jasonjeffers2750]

Wow! That is so awesome. What a cool adventure. It is now added to my bucket list. Why are Alaskans so drawn to New Zealand? It is at the top of the list for our family too. Great video!

Lovely trip mate. I'm an Aussie pilot, and NZ is similar with people but so different for geography. I've been on a boat tour through Milford Sound. That was amazing. I've never flown in NZ, but maybe I should one day. Come to Oz - there's some fun flying here too.

[@angleofattack]

The world is a big place. I love everywhere I fly! But this was on a whole different level.

[@mattbrinner]

Amazing video and experience! Given the severely unforgiving topography and the fact that this plane was a single engine piston, fixed gear airplane, I would love to hear more about what goes into the planning portion of a flight like that to make sure you take all the safety precautions possible. I may be wrong, but it seemed like 95% of the flight (at least what was shown in the video) would have been over terrain that was unsurvivable had you had an engine out scenario. As a private pilot with around a 1000 hours, I still find myself constantly looking for the safest spot to stand throughout every flight that I do. In watching the video, I struggled to find any safe place to land. Were there available options that I could not see; or, is that just a bucket list flight that you simply take the risk and know that it could be really bad if the engine cut out? I think another video examining the thought process behind this would be awesome!

[@joffotron]

I'm originally from Christchurch New Zealand, but I live in Australia now, slowly working on my PPL... Its been a life dream of mine to fly into places like this back home :⁠-⁠) The mountains are calling!

[@josec.278]

Coming from so far away and you did not go on the ferry for visiting the sound? Its a more down to earth perspective and gives you more time to enjoy the scenery. Cheers from NZ.

[@angleofattack]

I'm sure that's the case, and we were gutted we couldn't do it. But this is the time we had, and we're grateful for anything. At that point we had driven from Auckland to Cromwell in over 3 weeks and didn't like the idea of cramming a whole few days just to get to the sound. We'll be coming back!

Yes, I use an ND filter. Usually the lowest I can find, like a 4 or an 8.
