Fantastic video! I am a private pilot and always wanted to fly a floatplane exactly for the reasons depicted in your video. Peace, freedom, and beauty!
Beautiful video. We don't see float planes at all here in South Africa, because of the shortage of suitable water landing facilities. My long time goal is to get a ride in a Beaver, preferably in Canada.
I found my dream! As seen in this video ... the sound of birds, the magnificence of the landscape and the plane, in my judgment most beautiful ever created. I wake up every day with the idea, the illusion of being able to make it happen, live aviation, ambient sound, silence .. then contact the magnets, turn on, vibe alive, feel the power, the vibrations increase and then quiet, only the sound of wind and the powerful engine that shows me that indescribable freedom, nature, the DHC2 a powerful machine that rises above the horizon ... breath ... I look fly that's me saying to my interior. A big hello to the pilot of the aircraft that returned to give me that feeling, that urge to keep trying and fighting for what ... maybe someday come true. From Argentina, Buenos Aires, city of Tres Arroyos. Thank you! Encontré mi sueño! Así como se ve en este video... el sonido de los pajaros, lo magnifico del paisaje y el avion, a mi criterio más hermoso jamás creado. Me despierto cada día con la idea, la ilusión de poder hacerlo realidad, vivo por la aviación, el sonido del ambiente, el silencio.. luego el contacto de los magnetos, enciende, vibra esta vivo, se siente la potencia, las vibraciones aumentan y luego la calma, solo el sonido del viento y el potente motor que me muestra esa libertad indescriptible, la naturaleza, una poderosa maquina el DHC2 que se eleva sobre el horizonte... respiro contemplo... eso es volar me digo para mi interior. Un gran saludo al piloto de esta aeronave que me volvio a brindar ese sentimiento, esas ganas de seguir queriendo y luchando por lo que algún día... quiza se vuelva realidad. Desde Argentina, Pcia. de Buenos Aires, ciudad de Tres Arroyos. Gracias!!
In 1980 we were passengers on a 5 day bush pilot tour in British Columbia and I always remember the experience. Of course we had no recording device at that time to keep our memories, too bad to share it with others. However this short film without voices shows best the sound and feelings of starting and landing on lakes with a beaver in the wilderness we were. So, now we can share and refresh our memories as often we want, Thanks.
+Colin Brown Unfortunatelty not flying floats anymore.... miss it a lot but have to make a living which is hard when only flying 6 months a year. It is the funnest flying there is though.
After I had my first experience last week with C172 Seaplane in Florida, I can understand why there is a strong addiction component attached to this seaplane flying. I really loved it. Too bad that here in Germany we have almost no opportunity to do that.
I (and my crew) took a ride in a Beaver at Cargair, North of Montreal on a weekend layover once. Rented a car for the weekend n headed out to find a seaplane base, found it at St Michael des Saints. That got me going, the next month I went to Florida & I got my ATPMES rating...!! 😁
I'm turning 37 is fall. I've flown in beavers and otters all my life and have a good understanding of flying. How would I start to get to flying one from point 0.? Any info would help. Ps I'm from Nakina Ont
Pilots learn from older pilots and duplicate the same mistakes. There is no need to reduce power just after take-off. Wait to reach 80 MPH before any power reduction This will allow you more control in case of a power failure. The engine is made to provide it, and with more RPM is less loaded after take-off, gaining speed. It is a matter of safety and competence. Most engine failures happen at take-off because they are used badly or are simply tired. If you do not have money at the bank you want cash in your pocket... -If you do not have altitude... you want speed... Altitude is money at the bank...-Speed is cash in your pocket... If you do not have any you are broke and already broken. Pilots that fly the ocean know that.
Yes, IF you like Boats & the Water... AND you like Flying especially Single Pilot, And like Uncontroled landing fields, airspace, etc... Then THIS is your kind of Flying..... 🛫✈️🛬
+Jolinator Never had a spinner on any beaver I flew on floats ... maybe due to the high drag of the large engine area in the front it doesn`t really matter? (just a guess)
+yedaki76 i have noticed lots of beavers in Canada on floats without spinners, there must be some secret canucks magic to it. once again amazing video, all the best from downunder!

Yeah, float flying is as much fun and as awesome as it can get! Chase that dream of yours!
This video makes me happy :)

Vancouver is the place to visit for that!
No Yellowknife is even better than Vancouver! Old Town has lots of float planes
My four year old son enjoyed this thank you 😎

Line pilot here, and that's still my dream!

Please continue to make videos. WOW. Absolutely mesmerizing!

Beautiful video!
Favorite vid on the tube! Great work!
Thanks! Way too much credit here, I just filmed a "regular" day of flying in my old job. Flying does not get more fun than this :)
Thanks for sharing this video and letting me see up close an old dream job of mine!

What a beautiful landscape
My parents are taking me to Alaska and we are gonna fly in one of these and I am terrified. Excited, but terrified.
Great plane and great vid!
I am not a pilot but I love to fly. Thank you for this nice video.
Great paint job, i like that.
You did a nice record from outside and inside! Beaver are strong and tough
Awesome video. Comin in hot. Love it
Very neatly done. Can’t wait for this coronavirus situation to finish so can get back to flying.
Yeah ... I hear you. Flying Dash8 since 3 years now, missing the beaver! Same here, Corona has to end so we can fly again.
Philou NONAME trues up mate!!!
Magnificent!
Perfect beauty; perfect freedom; perfect video -- what's not to like, eh?
Row row row your plane...
Gently down the lake...
I (and my crew) took a ride in a Beaver at Cargair, North of Montreal on a weekend layover once.
Rented a car for the weekend n headed out to find a seaplane base, found it at St Michael des Saints.
That got me going, the next month I went to Florida & I got my ATPMES rating...!! 😁
Very nice... thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for this great video.
Hope we get to see more of Beaver videos :^)
I'm thinking of getting the Dynam DNC-2 Beaver with floats from the hobby store. The colors are like your DHC-2
Great ride!thanks
Flying into Sitka in a few days. Nervous but excited too!
Very...Very Cool...Living the dream.
I love it❤i love it ❤I love iiiiiittttttt! More video please!
I fly this DHC-2 almost every day....... on my SIM. I have few videos on my channel. I can't wait to ride one of these.
Am I seeing a beaver tail under the pilots headphones...?
Awesome.
came here thinking that it would be a rc plane..lol nice video
this is a dream!
Great plane, fun

AWESOME!!!!
Air harambe?
Awesome !
Nice ones
That was KICKASS!

What’s that chatting noise?
Find it and tie it down or lose it?
Thank you

Fantastic video!! i have a question, where is her spinner?!
+Jolinator Never had a spinner on any beaver I flew on floats ... maybe due to the high drag of the large engine area in the front it doesn`t really matter? (just a guess)
+yedaki76 i have noticed lots of beavers in Canada on floats without spinners, there must be some secret canucks magic to it. once again amazing video, all the best from downunder!
+Jolinator I personnaly thinks it looks way cooler without the spinner ;)
None of the two blade props have spinners but the Hartzell three blade props do
Omg so cool!!!❤❤
Thanks Paul! Sure, as the season progresses I might be able to mount the camera again.
so cool
Very cool
Love the video, camera rattle sucks! Little foam piece jammed in the holder would fix that.
bonar south and lincoln?
Bingo... You got it :)
Curious.. you back off throttle when the pontoons break the surface on take-off. Is that about 80% to break free? Then off to 60% ish?
Awesome sauce
was this filmed in Georgian bay?
What year is your DHC-2? How many hours on each engine overhaul with this Aircraft?
She looks like a very fine girl!
Oh and we will be doing this "up there"
How many yards do you need in order to takeoff?
Yes
@@Johnny_Guitar huh?
This is what God designed us to do and be. Peace, freedom and beauty!
I want one!
must be nice!
I don't know,
That paint scheme looks awfully close to Kenmore Air bud.;)
Quench & Marmalde. Moose meat & bannock never the same without is what this makes me think.
