My son and I love float planes. We got to fly with Kenmore Air in Seattle in 2018 to do a seaplane check out in a Cub on floats. Such a great aircraft for learning! Alaska is on our bucket list for sure. Great video! Fly safe and fly often!
Great video. I had a SEL license as a young man (many decades ago) and have ridden in float planes in Alaska and Arkansas. Float planes put a silly grin on my face even yet and I am not piloting. I have offered my grandkids a gift of flying lessons but they show no interest. I skipped meals to pay for my own lessons. Worth it!
Thx for the feedback Jason. I wish I could do a series about Alaska. Honestly I just didn't have enough footage. I shot this before I was making YT videos.
Found your channel through comment you left on Aviation 101's Mooney Cockpit tour. Former owner of 79 Tiger 2332T, which I understand wound up in CA. If you ever see it at an AYA/ Grumman meet/event, pass along my best to whomever has it now. Great., great airplane. Looking forward to watching some of your Tiger features and hope you love it half as much as I did.
Awesome video. One of the CFIs I flew with hundreds of hours ago back when I first bought my Cardinal used to go up to Alaska every summer and float plane instruct, the come back to NH for the winter. It always struck me as an awesome plan to go up there for a week and get a single engine sea rating for fun one year in lieu of a flight review.
Wolficorn nice! Did you have an RG or FG? The Cardinal is a nice airplane. I believe there’s a Tiger neighbor in my T hangar building but I haven’t had a chance to introduce myself yet. Both seem like types where you struggle a bit to find an experienced mechanic, I enjoyed your video about visiting yours. I have posted some videos of my Cardinal, a 1977 RG.
Bryan, before I saw your video, I booked a week for instruction (and checkride) out in Moose pass and was curious about your thoughts on the checkride process itself? Anything noteworthy compared to PPL/IFR checkrides?
@@jadeng1147 Moose Pass is such a great place to get your seaplane rating. So many lakes in close proximity, all with different characteristics. Not to mention that it’s drop dead beautiful there. Have fun!
KILLER!!! Relive it every time I watch :) Let's do it again!
I'm down.
Man it is my dreame. I love it. Sorry my inglish. I am from Russia.i love Alaska. It is a true.
The beauty of Alaska is unmatched

Yeah flying in Alaska in the Super Cub was pretty magical. I need to get back up there.

thx James! I grew up in Arkansas. Never knew there was much float flying there.
Beautiful images.!!
Terrific video!!!! I miss Alaska, and your video lowered my blood pressure by about twenty points, I’m sure! So peaceful!!!
Thx John. Lowering BP is important! I usually have to take a pill to do that.
Amazing adventure Bryan, Congrats! I'm pretty sure getting that certification in Alaska is gonna be a must-do in my future! Thanks for sharing!
Go for it Jimmy. Highly recommend. I wanna go back for more.
Just learning to fly floats myself and I really enjoyed this. Stupid grin time again this coming weekend! Thanks, this was great.
That's awesome. i'd love to get back in a float plane again. Have fun and don't forget to raise the water rudders! haha
Thanks for sharing. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really Amazing, previously I had only played Microsoft Flight Simulator.
This video touched something deep in my soul. Thank you for sharing!
These are my favorite kinds of comments. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@Wolficorntv I am finishing my private right now, then getting my IFR, will be moving up to AK this spring. Can't wait to start living that dream!
Can't beat Alaska Scenery. Used to two gliders in a super cub. Never tried the float plane type. It's on my bucket list.
Do it Preston! It's a great experience.
WOW, BEAUTIFUL. ❤
THANK YOU.
Glad you liked the video Lisa!

OF COURSE I LIKED UR VID, REAL BEAUTY, HOPEFULLY ONE DAY I CAN RIDE NEXT TO AN AMAZING PILOT.
AND SEE THE SPECTACULAR NOT IN A VID.
Thanks for the video! Alaska is very beautiful! Great shooting! Greetings from Russia from the glider pilot
Glad you liked it and nice to hear from you!
incredible story and footage.. your editing skills top notch.. and your soundtrack selection and or library is intense ! keep up the good work
Thanks man! Glad your enjoying my videos. I have several cool projects planned.
Great video. The end came too soon, I was hoping it was a trailer for a series you're about to start

Epic cinematography skills. Well done.
thx man!

Glad you found me Scott. A quick search shows your old Tiger is living in Texas these days: flightaware.com/live/flight/N2332T
@@Wolficorntv Ironic - I bought the airplane not far from there, at BMQ outside Austin, TX in 1999 while stationed at FT Hood.

Exactly...it counts as a BFR. Definitely worth doing. I flew a Cardinal for 8 years before I bought my Tiger.

Awesome!!!! More Please.
I’m going there to get my float ratings. Awesome
You’re gonna love it. I actually just spoke with Vern. He’s a great guy.
Got my rating out of MYF couple of months ago at HII. You'll have to let me in on the good spots!
Is HII the shipyard in SD bay? Didn't realize you could get a seaplane rating in SoCal. Doesn't seem like there are too many places to land.
@@Wolficorntv We went up to Lake Havasu for a night.
Amazing video mate
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow great stuff man! I am actually going to Alaska next week but I’m going to Talkeetna to get my Seaplane Rating w Alaska Floats & Skis.
Awesome man. Have a great time! Talkeetna is on my list for next time :)
Nice video - it would be a dream come true doing what you did !
Outstanding! Best regards from Austria!
Thx Bernie. It really was an awesome time. Is there any float flying in Austria?
Floatplane flying is not common in Austria but there are some. Very few eg the Flying Bull’s Cessna Caravan.
Beautiful video.
Floats would look great on your AG-5B :-)
haha...that would be an interesting sight.
Beautiful video! Great job!
AWESOME!!!!! I gave you 101 thumbs up.
ha..thx Michael!
Wow
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Glad you liked it Russ! It was a nice trip.
This is awesome man.
thx Ryan. I'm ready to go back for more!
Excellent!
thx!!
I Have a dream yes about Alaska! But unfortunately I've gone to wrong school and not become a pilot 😌
- btw. First, hope so!
Flying or not, visiting Alaska was a great trip!
I love your videos
❤️👍
I want some more
You and me both!!! Thx for watching.
Too isolated for me! Scary place to have engine trouble
it's definitely remote!
Bro a sea plane rating ,cmon how insane was it landing on the water & your dad is a pilot too I mean what's next wolfi are you batman too bro lol
I have secrets that may one day be revealed, LOL
@@Wolficorntv 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ...dope ass video alotta cinematics

It’s was a very relaxed checkride…dare I say fun?

Alright, I need a seaplane now :)
After a few days of thoroughly pissing off the locals. The locals could finally get back to fishing
until the next batch of pilots come :)
