@@robburrows9786 it's similar here in Western Washington, the majority of Beavers are on floats.

Thank you! I'll doing well, and I hope you are too. Unfortunately my airshow plans this weekend are a bit messed up due to weather.

That's very cool! It's as rare to hear from someone that worked on these aircraft as it is to see one fly. The Olympic flight museum still flies this one occasionally, but the rotors are running low on remaining time.

@@shawno.8348 That was the first time I've ever seen it, but I guess Olympic flight museum flies it occasionally.

You would have loved the show!

@@mothmagic1 Very well attended. My expectations were pretty high and I was still blown away.

@@elbywest5977 He's a very good pilot!

That was a great spot to film from!

It's always fun Seaplane spotting!

That's always what it makes me think of too.

@@leftcoastcorrie I was only there for a short time, so I didn't get much, but that scenery makes it an excellent location. It's beautiful there.

Thank you for the compliment!

@@TheHDAviation Thank you! As always, after it was over I thought about all the better spots I could have been. But I'm just glad I was able to be there at all. There was nothing like hearing it in person.

@@helios1912 thank you!

@@Laska420 all thanks to the firefighters! My friend is one of them and gave me the footage.

@@rEdf196 I look forward to visiting it too. It's sad they won't be flying anymore, but it's amazing they did such dangerous work and survived to retire. I'm happy about that.

@@PeterNGloor they put the beaching gear on, and it's currently up on land near the seaplane base. They will eventually move it over to the museum for display.

@@SimonButler Ok, thank you, so there is a ramp someplace wide enough for the plane. Hope somebody took a vid of this move.

@@PeterNGloor if you look up the BC Aviation Museum TH-cam channel, I think they have a short video about it.

@@SimonButler I checked the website, but found nothing, just the vid of the landing. Last scene was when she was docked in the harbour

Try searching for BC Aviation Museum here on TH-cam.

@@PeterNGloor is that why I didn't sleep that well?

@@leftcoastcorrie Thank you Corrie!

@@GregBell58 a DA-40 flew in and I used my DSLR to check the tail number. I was certain it was you, but it was a Canadian registration.

@@HappyHands. Beautiful and very fun to fly.

@@thedoorider Thanks! Good thing too, I was convinced and bought the same kind of mic my friend let me borrow!

@@kenhoward3512 thank you!

@@user-nt1zv8ic5m I'm lucky to fly in such a beautiful area. Everything from mountains to desert to coastal Islands and rainforest are only about a two hour flight away.

@@SimonButler and all I see is grass and cows. lol

@@user-nt1zv8ic5m I think I'd take up aerobatics!

@@GingerThePlane I still really want to do a Canada flight. I've joined the CAF Rainier squadron and a lot of my weekends filled up going to flying events supporting the Reliant operations, and getting video footage of the events for this channel. Doesn't help that my plane is in maintenance right now for failed fuel gauges.

Thank you, and it's definitely worth checking out.

@@kiphaynes I was there July 5th, just between fire TFRs.

@@Mtnhiker56 landing long and coming down on all three landing great pretty hard after my float. Hard contact is pretty much what you want to avoid on soft fields. However, luckily, this field was not very soft, even though it was grass.

It's a license to learn...glad you had fun...be sure to watch your density altitude...and loading...good luck!

@@Mtnhiker56 yeah, we chose to depart early in the morning to take advantage of the slightly cooler air and better performance. I didn't want to try it later on, we were around 90°F that weekend.

Good choices!

@@farmerjoe000 I'm glad you think so! There's more coming.

@@ielside1 I liked that idea, and tried it before, but the camera was in shade and the outside would end up washed out with brightness on sunny days. There's probably ways to solve that, but moving the camera position was my best solution for now.

It is not a dashboard, it is an instrument panel. Early buggies got that name because the original dashboard was a board to keep the horse from kicking dirt in your face. Why they still call it that in autos beats me.

@@ggeorge4144 if I can get even more pedantic about it, it's actually a glare shield we're talking about.

@@snsjets Thank you very much for the compliments!

@@SkywardVentures the grass was sparse, but long. Luckily it hadn't rained for a while and the surface was hard. No real risk of digging in, but I didn't know that when I slammed it down. It just wasn't good technique.

@@walkervalleymedia That's awesome! I love when people get to view themselves.

@@walkervalleymedia if you come out with a video of that flight, please let me know.

@@markusalexanderpleyer1954 too soon!

@@Aviation488 Thank you!

@@leftcoastcorrie Thank you Corrie! It was a challenging day, there were multiple thunderstorms that rolled through and the airshow had to be put on hold twice.

@@MilderMora Thank you!

@@jimjoe9945 In Western Washington State.

@@TheHDAviation Thank you! I'm hoping for the same!

@@CMan-rt9in Car engines?

@@SimonButler Car engines Yes. Some older aircraft have used ZR1 corvette engines. If you see a Bee with a low wider cowling, then it's a car engine, if not it's the original, possibly a Franklin or Lycoming. Sorry for spelling.

@@CMan-rt9in I'll keep that in mind, I've seen them geared Franklin's and Lycomings.

@@SimonButler Story time, goody, goody. Many, many moons ago I was up in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory and walking down the Main street when I heard that sound. Right away in my mind ,it sounded like a Seabee engine, sure enough as I looked up a Seabee flew by. The next day I flew to Juneau AK and there was a Seabee parked with other small private aircraft. Seabee memories.

@@CMan-rt9in I'm actually at a splash in today and a guy brought a Seabee.
