Beautiful time with Family, Made 7 passes to finally find a 200' place to land in 10' rocks but avoid the 20" rocks. 17' tide comes in pretty fast. Also a Huge calving event could cause a wave to wash over Island ??

Not certain what was buried in the sand. Looked like a Tote or electric vault of some sort ? Assumed tide washed it into Bay.

really cool plateau. great scenery, fun times no doubt. sweet spot. were those mountain goats? lost sheep? do you run that airport?
Alaska has all different kinds of scenery❤ Those were sheep, and I live on a shared runway/airpark.
showing off the amazing characteristics of this engineering marvel. good flying too!
Thanks Greg, The Super Cub is an amazing machine 👍
STOL lunch...
Fantastic I have flown this part of Alaska for meany years and never landed thank you for sharing.
Kinda neat being on such a big Island and knowing you are the only Human on it.🤔
This is world class operation absolutely stunning Thanks for the ride.
Thanks, I really like this spot. The Prince William Sound can be gorgeous.
This is one of them get it right the first time great job DEAN
Thanks, I have looked at this spot a few times before. It finally felt right (water/wind) this day.
Nice landing
I’m Chris Muth and I approve this message! 😀
Oh Cool 😎.. I Love it 👍
Ur gonna need a loooot of whiskey for that icecube 😂😂😂
🥃I Love the way you think..😂
Not every body stops to look and understand the cloud "stuck" on the top of a peak like this. If you gaze at it long enough, you will realize that the mountain is "pumping" the cloud - creating the cloud in real time. As the cooler wind blows onto the peak, the moisture around the peak condenses forming the cloud. And as the air current continues to push the cloud, usually to the east, the cloud evaporates. It forms and un-forms right in front of your eyes, if you watch closely. I have a peak much like that right next to my house, and I see it quite frequently. Sometimes it will happen in reverse - the air is warmer hitting the cooler moisture on the peak - dew point is still reached, and the cloud forms and un-forms with the prevailing wind current.
Yes you are absolutely right. 👍 A mountain wave causing a standing lenticular cloud.
My anxiety is much higher than you're flying. Incredible flying.
🤣 ...Thanks
Yeah, so I never knew something like that was possible. Looks like about 50' for landing and 75' for takeoff. Maybe less. I'm impressed. Makes me want to do it too!
Thanks, these experimental Cubs land quite slow. Its like cheating, I Love-em.
@@AKCub907 Wow, I can see why you love them. It's so amazing. My thought is that because you can get the speed down for landing, it seems, then injuries are much less pronounced in the event of a mishap. Is this true for taking off? It seems speeds for take off are also very slow, by comparison.
@@gregb3457 Yes it true, 👍 Old quote from test pilot Max Stanley... "The Piper Cub is the safest airplane in the world; its just barely fast enough to kill you." 😜
@@AKCub907 amazing. amazing. I'm happy for you. be safe though.
pretty cool. Thanks loads.
Thanks, Its very "Alaska" looking up that Glacier valley.
@@AKCub907 So other worldly for non Alaskans like myself. So strange and different.
@@gregb3457 Alaska is beyond beautiful.. 👍
👍 Thank you!
I'd love the coordinates of this gravel bar so I can look it up on a map please 🙏
I don't have the Lat/Long, but it is Surprise glacier, Harriman fjord in Prince William Sound.
👍 Thank you!
👍❤
Wow. Really cool. 😎👍 But in case of an engine failure… would be a shity day…
From the amount of tracks that is a popular destination!
BTW, was that a wrecked C-180/185 by the runway?
It was a C182 🥲
@@AKCub907 That's a real bummer!
Really enjoy your movies! Keep them coming. 🙂
EZ, just have to remember that you're in a Cub. ;o)
Thanks for the view. I flew PC-12’s in Alaska in 2023, and flew past Augustine daily. I always wondered what it was like up close and on the ground.
That was AWESOME!
Thank the Lord for cameras & drones to allow us geezers (and state-side pukers) to enjoy the experiences of the Alaskan Jeep drivers' many adventures. Great times to celebrate those skillful young men who fly this State. Thanks ja3dean. Haven't enjoyed videos since I used to 'dog fight' cubs in my youth in a rented Citabria in the Kenai Mountains near Skilak.
Kevin, Thanks for the kind thoughts and sharing your fond memories. Been in Alaska 42 years and I still Love exploring the state's beauty. 👍
No need for a resume, just show them the video
Epic! That's some awesome scenery!!
Yes, It was a beautiful morning/day.
Sweet, Dean. Looks like someone had a little mishap on the run-up end of the strip.
Yes, a C182. Good news is it looked like a slow speed flip over, so No injuries. The airplane can be repaired/replaced.
Great piloting. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for kind comments 👍
And what exactly was the point of the exercise? Low on gas? Want to cast a line? Wanted to prove something? What?
I’m no pilot, but that was obviously a superb demonstration of skill and control the pilot had over that aircraft. Well done good Sir. Bravo
@@nateklein7342 Thanks Nate, This landing spot is Well within the capability of the Aircraft. 👍
Must be in Alaska.
It Alaska, up Kink valley.
Wow... This is a really short runway! This Cub probably pretty light and it has strong engine. A superb STOL-plane... And of course the pilot is experienced!👍
The Super Cubs do well...has 180 HP.
God it's Beautiful scenery up there. Incredible. If I keep watching your videos I'm going to end up canceling next years vacation to the Caribbean to come up to Alaska 😂 That is one of the most amazing views I've ever seen.
Yes, I keep waiting to get bored with Alaska's beauty. But 42 years and I still Love it up here. Although the Caribbean is tough to beat....Gorgeous place.
That looks like so much fun. Great scenery, great camerawork.
Thanks, I truly enjoy getting out in Alaska, and also sharing the experience.
so beautiful
Yes, Alaska sure has some beautiful places 👍
Impressive landings!
Hey, Thanks 👍
You are hired!!
😜👍
Man that is beautiful up there. Amazing I can see why you do what you do. Would love to see all of that in person. I've done some crazy stuff in my life. Still don't know if I have big enough stones to do some of those landings you do my friend, but I love it none the less.
Thank You, I feel very Blessed to be able to see Alaska's hidden treasures with the Cub 👍
If the pilot didn't go there ahead of time in a canoe and measure that island, that was even crazier than it looked. Stunned, and glad it worked out.
No Canoe, Can tell with practiced eye how long it was. More than needed 👍
@@AKCub907 Exactly - you didn't just land on a tiny sandbar, you did it with half the sandbar to spare! Very impressive.
@@davidjorgensen877 Very True, Thanks 👍
Cool video. Impressive skill for sure. Just curious why besides you can would you decide to do that? Seems very risky with alot that could go wrong. Is that something you do regularly to keep your skills up just incase you need to land somewhere like that?
Yes to all of the above... Practice, Practice.
I forgot to add that was an awesome landing and takeoff !
Ok, I have a story. My dad flew Grumman TBMs in WW2 and also in Korean war along with Corsairs . He was given a mission to fly 2 Army covert intelligence persons into North Korea, land on the beach and pickup the 2 intel persons they were replacing. This was in the TBM. He told me this when he was in his late 80s, passed away at 98. My brother was a A4 crew chief in the 60s and informed a Marine Captain his plane needed some work, when the Captain found out who his father was he said , “ If George ---- son says I can’t take off then I won’t, as far as I’m concerned your father could walk on water” . My dad became an airlines pilot later on, when the story about Tully landing his plane on the Hudson River came out I asked my dad if that is something he could have done. Without hesitation he said, “Yeah, sure” . I believed him without doubt. 😊
Neat stories 😁
That is AMAZING
Best pilots period.
Love your videos and flying. I might suggest on this one removing the name of the mine and reference to the other strip, making it much harder to figure out where it is, and therefore perhaps help preserve one of the few undisturbed old mines in the state.
I may be wrong or just Naive but like to think that anyone who can afford the air taxi flight in or even the cost of flying their personal aircraft there are also of the caliber to not molest this sight. Nothing there has anywhere near the value as the costs of getting there. Just my thoughts 🤔
Just like my uncle Chet, Sky King. Dirt roads, farm fields, you name it. Behind his on the farm, he had two airplane hangers. One for the farm plane, a Beech Bonanza. The other was a loaded out twin engine Mooney for long distance travels. Got his license at the post office in the early 1930’s. The Bonanza had roll down windows for coyote hunting. Way ahead of his time.
I could do that in my Maule. All I need is 0 degree OAT and a 30 kt headwind at sea level ;-)
Absolutely amazing videos sharing dear friend ❤️ Really enjoyed watching Super big big like thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍 See you again take care, keep intouch ❤️❤❤
Love that old Model A dump truck. My Dad had a 1929 ton and a half something like this one.
Amazing. Just amazing!
Where is the bar? All I see is the island. 😂
😂 I Love how you think...
