Thanks..

Thanks, ATIS said 140@14G22 but it was less than that on landing. Glad it wasn't 25G50 😜

Thanks....

Thank you for the link 👍👍👍

Thanks, They are very Majestic animals.

Thanks, I do like getting off the beaten path.

Thanks, First time I'd been to Billings Glacier. I keep expanding my Cool AK places to visit 👍

Icy Bay as a whole is Amazing. 👍

Thanks... The Sportsman STOL leading edges are a great addition to any off airport Airplane. The Back Country Slats are far more aggressive and NOT needed. Here is a robbed video of Wayne Mackey early SQ's with the same Back Country slats I have. th-cam.com/video/NltMFihRMZI/w-d-xo.html Stall at super high AoA. But at those high AoA you can't see where you are touching down. But still keep them on for safety sake (stall/spin).

Thanks Samso, It's high up there. Great views. Had a pretty good cross wind coming over the top edge of that mountain.

Agreed👍 Alaska has some of the best scenery if you have an airplane to get out in it.❤ Alaska off airport "Hull" Insurance is certainly spendy. Glad to hear you are enjoying the Idaho Back Country. You guys deal with Density Alt that we don't have up here. My highest has been 6500' Its an eye opener. ...Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks, I enjoy making these videos of Alaska's beauty..

This strip is fairly long, although Density Alt is at play. But I think C180/Maule etc would work out great on it.

@@AKCub907 I think you can get a 747 in there.

@@cubdweller 😂Haha, But you won't get it out again 🤣

@@AKCub907 So many cool places you take your cub. Hope to make it to Alaska in the next few years. Seems amazing and scary at the same time!

@@AKCub907 You can always live in it, much bigger than my house now!

Thanks I never really got "The perfect" drone shot when I was there. I was too busy enjoying myself and the scenery.

I think you are always up ?? Your sleep might be worse than my Circadian rhythm cycle. 😂

Thanks, I Love getting out seeing Alaska.

Thanks Samso, It's short. But still within My and the Cub's limits.

Yes, Its the shortest place I've gone to with the steep down side of being short or long at all. Thanks, I almost deleted the back taxi and strip fly over (30/210 turn).

I hear you Brother 👍 I'm Super blessed to live here and to be able to visit such places.

Thank you Ted, you are too nice. The site evaluation does come with time. We all have more things/skills to learn.

Thanks, I love exploring Alaska and seeing new places.

Agreed, Was a Gem of a place to run across. 👍

Thanks Guido 😁

Thanks N411X, Had a light tail wind on both landing and T.O. but liked the easy go around option down stream.

😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks, Yes truly living the dream 👍

Thanks Matt...👍

I landed closer to the glacier, below the high tide line. Any tire tracks there will be gone within a day.

Yes, I feel Blessed to have my Cub/Airplane.

The Waterfalls get bigger later in the year.

Thanks, I think the Lycoming is enough music 😜

Yes, It sure opens access to this great State.

Thanks, You guys have some beautiful country down there in Juneau 👍

Thanks Greg, Super kind comments. This is one of my favorite also because of the good time I had with family. And having 3 glaciers so close and big chunks of ice all around. Think the Seals like resting on the ice as it hides them from predators?? Either way I have seen them resting on top of ice near other Glaciers also.

@@AKCub907 But are they always so dense in numbers, compacted in one area? That mystifies me. So many, so close, right there. I've seen them crowd onto a rock. They seem to be social creatures. Not hunted so much anymore, eh? Yes, I like the personal touches. Surprised it is so low watched. ???? Algorithm?

Thanks for the kind thoughts, I sure Love getting out exploring Alaska. Icy Bay is Amazing !!

Thanks Chris, And yes Alaska has some stunning beauty for sure.

Hey Greg, if you are asking if I think the Glaciers are retreating ? YES, in the 40+ years I have lived in Alaska the local Glaciers are definitely retreating. No question about it !! But think that has been the case for last 10 or 15 Thousand years ??? Any bigger question is for others to debate.

❤ thanks so much! That's all I was looking for. A local's perspective. My personal opinion is that it is cyclical and eventually will come to straights. And probably reverse for an age. This opinion is based on evidence from earlier times in my life, listening to both professionals and locals. One man I listened to recalled climbing on Mt. Ararat in Turkey as a boy with his father. His tribe of fellow locals had a history of visiting the glacier there and in 1905 there was a powerful regional long term multi-year drought in play. The glacier had receded enough to almost completely expose The Ark, Noah's Ark. The whole village knew plainly of its location having an oral tradition of passing the knowledge from generation to generation. The regional drought information stuck with me.

@@gregb3457 Super interesting story. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Thanks, I was debating if 4K was worth it. But this video is mostly scenery so tried it. 👍

​@@AKCub907 4K Is definitely worth it, youtube forces a better encoder I believe it's called VP9 and it allows for more bitrate ( more data per second ) and less artifacts from compression. You can check that if you right click and click "stats for nerds". And from personal experience with a 4k monitor it's much much cleaner, I can't notice the individual blocking/pixels like I do with 1080p therefor it's more immersive on a big screen. Thanks for uploading great videos, I aspire one day to be able to do the same hobby.

@@shinyrayquaza5180 Thanks for the kind words and 4K input. I might try more in 4K then, especially the mostly just scenery videos like this one.

Thank you, I Love getting out exploring Alaska 👍

Thanks, this one is Prince William Sound, It's gorgeous over there.

Thanks, I'm Sad I did not have/make time to land and kick around on Kayak Island. Icy Bay is Amazing,

Around 32 mph...

Thanks, I'd never been up that valley before.
