Happy 4th of July weekend to everyone! Our beautiful free country's going through some tough times now, but we've faced battles in the past and we'll get through this one too. Stay safe everyone!
Great video, a pleasure to see Boise from the sky, I visited the area this week, delivered to a new Amazon fulfillment center being constructed in the area. Enjoy each of your travels 🙂
Awww! Made me smile! I’ve not flown out of Sea-Tac, in ages, but, I’m a fairly frequent flier between Spokane and Portland, on Alaska. Always, on the Bombardier. It can be cramped, but, it’s a very nice, stable flying plane I’ve gotten quite fond of it 😀I’ve never made it to Boise. Maybe someday!
Hi Jazzguy! Another fantastic full flight video, really enjoyed this one! I remember flying this route about 5/6 years ago on Horizon. Really enjoyed the flight and loved the scenery! Boise really is a nice city :) Keep up the good work! Brendan
There is actually a multitude of paths the trail goers took back in the day along the Oregon Trail. One of the more common ones was to take the Hastings Cutoff, leading people down to & through Salt Lake City, which then allowed trail goers to make one final choice if they wanted to go to the Rogue River Valley, taking the Applegate Trail (which of course occurred in the latter half of the wagontrains to Oregon) or to cut back northward and into what would become Idaho again.
I swear alaska is the best airline around and safest in the nation as far as getting passengers to and from locations. I love the Seattle to tri cities flight and tri cities to portland was fun as well. Flying out of tri cities to Seattle on a Q400 and then Seattle to Vegas on a 737-800 in may.
My Dad was a USAF pilot who’s first flight and solo was in a T-6. He flew B-36s, B-52s, and 104 missions over North Vietnam, Laos Cambodia and Thailand in 1968-69. He retired to Southern Oregon and became an early Air Oregon Pilot flying passengers and Bank Papers in Piper Navahos. On to Swearingen Metroliners I-III, and then F-27s for several years. Rolls Royce engines that were very loud. He was there when the first short Hot Rod Dash-8s were added. Around that time, Air Oregon merged with Horizon Airlines. Dad loved that airplane. He used it as his computer password long ago. He never flew the Q800 version, or after the Official merger with Alaskan Airlines. I He was was the first pilot to be forced age retired from Horizon. 60 years old back then. He wasn’t happy but, ever the Professional, he dealt with it. And never flew again. I got to ride jumpseat on his 2 final flights in 1991 only because I had a private pilots license. SEA-PDX-MFR. He flew as an observer/safety pilot for me when I earned my instrument rating in a Bonanza. And in the Marchetti SF 260M I bought later. Fun times. I miss him. But I’m glad he’s not around to see what happened to the country he fought for and the airline industry and airplanes he loved. RIP Dad. I flew this exact Air Ambulance Airplane “Iron Annie” as an unofficial co-pilot, human auto-pilot and gofer with my Dad and many other Pilots in the late 1970s.

I fly out of Boise this month back home to Seattle and I’m super nervous how is the flight, I’ve been told it’s a quick up and down flight, how’s the time during the flight?
You truly did have a remarkable day for flying. While in SEA did you have a chance to try out Ivars fish and chips with their fantastic tarter sauce and their clam chowder? If not, maybe next time you visit Seattle you can give them a try. I like dunking their french fries into the tarter sauce, very good!!!!
Love these vids. Love the q400. Now question. How far can a q400 fly.we wanted to charter one say from Manchester NH.vor pvd RI. If the pats go to the superbowl. just a dream right now.so say there were 35 to 40 on the q400. Can it make Tampa or Orlando non stop. And do any airlines have a like first class on this type of plane. I know Porter airlines flys them maybe I should ask them. Love the roar of the props on landing. Hey like your vids keep them coming.
Look at that, we get the same thing when we get food from Starbucks lol. Also seeing that you stayed in a hotel did you go to the Original Starbucks at Pike Place?
I have to agree, SEATAC doesn't have enough gates, even with the expansion of the north satellite concourse it's still not enough. And I live in Cle Elum.
What the heck kinda aircraft was that in the background, @12:23? I only saw it for a brief moment & I think it had like a green colored paint on the underside.
@@mikesparks3216 thx for the reply but what is "ARFF practice?" I've been around aviation for over 20yrs & I've never seen an aircraft, mock up or not, that looked like that...nor have I ever heard of "ARFF practice." Not sayin' you're making it up or anything, I honestly don't know, so maybe you can enlighten me pls?? 😉
theres a possibility my trip to charleston sc and savannah ga could get postponed to december due to rise in covid cases in south carolina, in august i am still planning on going to las vegas august 19th to august 22nd
2:51 MCO: Am I a joke to you? Have you considered flying into MDT (Harrisburg International Airport)? Amazing scenery. I've ridden about a Dash 8 before and love the bird's eye views as well as the propellers spinning. My complaints are the same as yours... and I'm shorter than you. I'm 5' 11".
Haha is MCO that bad? I think I've breezed on by each time I was there :D Definitely would like to fly into Harrisburg at some point, have ridden past the airport a ton but never flew in
@@thejazzguy13 it was a joke. Orlando International Airport's security changed a lot. In 2011 we waited 45 min to go through security. In 2013 30 min. I forget 2014 and 2015 but since 2019 they really improved. Average waits 10 to 13 minutes. Harrisburg International Airport is my former home airport. I am originally from Harrisburg. Now MCO is my home airport. When you flew from Ottawa, I got MDT vibes. It is a small airport with a big terminal. I forget why though. I'll let you know. Though it is Pennsylvania's third busiest airport, it only handles 19 flights a day. Two of them seasonal.
That’s kind of funny you joked saying there are millions of poisonous snakes in the snake river! And by the way the Q400 is the only Alaska fleet without Wi-Fi
That's exactly what I was thinking. Sea-Tac was way too busy for it to have been taped anytime in the last 3 months. But in the video, I saw this traveler flipping through the February issue of Alaska's in-flight magazine, and there was snow on the ground as the flight crew began their descent into Boise.
@@thejazzguy13 No, in the Q400. Horizon does not have sinks in the Q400 lavatories. Here's an article from the Seattle Times: The U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) last month warned Horizon Air, which is owned and operated by Alaska Air Group, to stop serving ice with drinks because the planes in its fleet of 52 Bombardier Q400 turboprop planes do not include hand-washing sinks in their bathrooms. Jun 2, 2016
This was filmed in February, a month later in March a lot of planes were grounded so the line of aircraft waiting to takeoff wouldn't have looked like it did
So glad Boise now has ordinances in place not allowing California citizens from buying property in Boise. Wish they could have done it sooner. Better late than never I guess.
Happy 4th of July weekend to everyone! Our beautiful free country's going through some tough times now, but we've faced battles in the past and we'll get through this one too. Stay safe everyone!
apply for TSA precheck if i were u
Ok man!
How about getting rid of that orange fruitcake for a start to bring back the greatness?
Great video! I'm a Q400 pilot for Horizon, love seeing our passengers enjoy a good flight! The Q is an awesome airplane!
Is it an easy plane to fly and operate? How does it compare to say a 737 operation wise?
Really nice and smooth photography! Beautiful scenery. Perfect way to start my Sunday morning. Thanks for the ride!
I love knowing where the various other planes you spot are coming from/going to-that’s a nice touch!
When you travel to different places do you go there for business work or your life is just to fly ?
Thanks for the memories. I worked for horizon air for 17 yrs and delivered some of q400 they fly now.
Great aircraft and great company.
My hometown airport! Although I was born and raised near Seattle. BOI is probably one of the nicest airports I've ever traveled through.
It’s the easiest in my opinion
Hi, discovered your channel few weeks ago. Thank you for all your video; 400th like for this Q400 flight. Best regards from France. Just suscribed
Boise has a tiny airport but I like it when I traveled there. It’s a cool city which beautiful scenery
Fantastic, my dear...I'm flight attndant in Brazil and i've never seen a full flight video so interesting before!!!! Congrats!!!!
Great video, a pleasure to see Boise from the sky, I visited the area this week, delivered to a new Amazon fulfillment center being constructed in the area. Enjoy each of your travels 🙂
Thanks a lot mate and very cool!
it is great. thanks for precious comments
The only avgeek vid where I didn't want the music playing before takeoff to stop.
Ahh. It’s quite nice seeing an aircraft that I’m 100% sure I’ve cleaned, serviced, pushed back, and loaded/unloaded bags from a dozen times
Caleb.B, Nice!
Great video! Here's looking forward to the day when flying get's back to normal.
I'm with ya man and thx!
Awww! Made me smile! I’ve not flown out of Sea-Tac, in ages, but, I’m a fairly frequent flier between Spokane and Portland, on Alaska. Always, on the Bombardier. It can be cramped, but, it’s a very nice, stable flying plane I’ve gotten quite fond of it 😀I’ve never made it to Boise. Maybe someday!
Great video! I really liked and enjoyed your video. 😊. Cant wait to fly again!
Thanks a lot!
I like it very much. We the Idaho DLC for American Truck Simulator came out, I drove from Seattle to Boise in my Volvo.
Signed, Angela.
Awesome trip report! You are almost at 9k!!
Wow my friend! What an amazing report. Beautiful views! I’ve nevet benn on SEA but is in my future flights!! Excellent job as always!!!
Thanks so much bro! Def ya gotta go to the Pacific Northwest, I highly recommend it 😊
I’m really glad I found your channel! You’re combining flight reports w/ a little bit of spotting, very cool! Btw SEA is my home airport!
Awesome & thx a lot bro! :)
It’s also my home airport

Howdy, awesome trip report as always and wow on that scenery! I have to admit, I love turboprops! Also, stay safe okay!😸😻😸
Thanks a lot bro! I luv them as well and you too! :)
How long was the flight?
Californians are Washington peeps are flooding into Idaho. I bet the locals love that:) Good flight!
You are living my dream and I am very jealous of you. Enjoy every minute
Great shots!! Thanks for the half hour break-cation.
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it!
Great Video! I like them Q400’s
i love flying on the q400, i love the noise they make. and i like walking out on the tarmac instead of a jet bridge :)
flown this route on the q-400s many times love the free beer and wine on horizon & Alaska offers a great product never ever had a bad flt on them

I was on one of these planes when I went to Disneyland in 2018. My flight was to Vancouver and it was a good flight for a little prop plane.
9:35 Lucky, you got to see a Hawaiian A330. I go plane spotting at Sea-Tac but have yet to see one of those..
You truly did have a remarkable day for flying. While in SEA did you have a chance to try out Ivars fish and chips with their fantastic tarter sauce and their clam chowder?

Never been on a propeller driven plane. Surprisingly quiet!!
Biscoff and Ginger Ale is pretty my go to snack and drink. No telling when I'll get to fly again.
Another great video, traveling on youtube, Boise looks like a good size city a smaller version of Denver
I have to say the smallest airline plane I have been on was a Beech1900. That was on SkyWay Airlines ( Midwest Connect)

How do you feel about 2-2 seat configurations?
They're much better than 3-3!
@@thejazzguy13 I strongly concur. I don't like the middle seat.
@thejazzguy13 Aviation The middle seat is more cramped. Good thing Spirit increased their size of the middle seat
Look at that, we get the same thing when we get food from Starbucks lol. Also seeing that you stayed in a hotel did you go to the Original Starbucks at Pike Place?
What was that amazing looking semi-circle town at the 18:45 mark? I want to go to there!
New Plymouth, Idaho.
awesome gear up...
Nice
That’s a puddle jumper if I ever saw one!
Love your videos my friend but can you tell me if northwest airlines is still running
It's not running anymore. It merged with Delta Airlines on January 31, 2010.
I have to agree, SEATAC doesn't have enough gates, even with the expansion of the north satellite concourse it's still not enough. And I live in Cle Elum.
What the heck kinda aircraft was that in the background, @12:23? I only saw it for a brief moment & I think it had like a green colored paint on the underside.
It is used for ARFF practice. It is a mock up of nothing LOL. Looks homemade,,,,

45mins for sec time? I had to wait about an hour and a half in colombia
Awesome!
TSA pre check is a good way to avoid long lines.
Good Job Man!
Thanks! 🤙🏻
You’re welcome!
Ok! Ok! Ok! Ok!
Yes!
Ok!
Yes!
Ok!
Yes!
theres a possibility my trip to charleston sc and savannah ga could get postponed to december due to rise in covid cases in south carolina, in august i am still planning on going to las vegas august 19th to august 22nd
I live in Tacoma and I went to Nebraska and the line for security was not that long in fact there was no line just open
i wonder if that Bacon Egg and Gouda sandwich was frozen and microwaved or was it fresh?
the only turbo props that I would fly on.
Boise looks cool.
qfs aviation was in seattle around the same time you were

My flight instructor now flies q400 and she is based out of BOI, maybe your where on one of her flights she is a F/O for the Q400.
Hey pretty cool! Maybe she was
like the Q-400 flew them on a rip to MT 3 cities and nonstop back to SEA the longest q-400 flt that horizon had at over 650 mile from BIL
Spirit flight. Heading to TPA. Get your facts right
Nope incorrecto, look up N670NK on February 20 around 10:30am
Yes±
do a trip report with qfs aviation, theplanesguy, and itripreport sometime please
What am I not good enough? Plus, stop repeating yourself all the time!
I love Alaska I live in Pittsburgh I work with Alaska airlines therepretty fun been to SeaTac once pretty nice there just don’t like the lines
I did a double take when I saw my alma mater (Rocky Mountain HS) in this video
Interesting to see you have to go through TSA for prop flights, in New Zealand only have to go through the equivalent for jet flights
Lake Youngs is shaped like Texas
That’s kind of funny you joked saying there are millions of poisonous snakes in the snake river! And by the way the Q400 is the only Alaska fleet without Wi-Fi

New Plymouth, Idaho :)
What will he go next stay tuned
Q fly very good
It is Angle Lake, not Angel Lake....

lol no they don’t. People can buy a home where ever they please. Y’all are weird over Idaho.
Yes u made it to Idaho I’m here visiting my sister here
Oops, that's Angle Lake,
Who can forget that guy Richard Russel who stole one of these planes from Seattle-Tacoma and crashed it back in 2018
i’m sorry i just can’t get over “sea-boi”
February 2020 B.C.
Seeing that long line in 2/2020 gave me a shiver - covid is being passed around right there, and without any doubt some of these people died from it.
