Hey Caleb, I'm flattered you chose to use a thumbnail of mine. I am curious as to why you chose the Otter at 4:16 of your video and not a Beaver? I have many great shots of C-FFHA if you would like to use any. C-FODH is the oldest Otter still flying, she's a beautiful machine. Wishing you much success on your TH-cam journey. Best....Corrie
Oh, well I found the pic of yours if C-FFHA and I didn’t like it as much as FOHD. 😀 I’m so glad you watched the video and I’d appreciate if you enjoyed if you’d plz consider subscribing to my channel! Thanks so much Corrie!
@leftcoastcorrie WOW! Thanks so much! I have a lot coming including more Aviation News, Aviation Museum videos a new one out this week, a new Flying Lesson video next week hopefully and much more soon! I’ll also be headed to Oshkosh 2024 this summer and of courses there will be content out of that!
Looking at this, looks like pilot thought he could make a attempt to hop over. Instead if he had a load and saw the boat, I would have rolled the plane onto the right float for take off behind the boat. I've done this many time to get more lift to take off, other wise the atc needs to be more forceful demanding the pilot to abort...which means pull over and nose in the floats and drop rudders at the same time...should be part of training.
I'd agree with that. I've been in several DHC-2 Beaver Aircraft and the visibility, especially on the ones with floats is not great due to the increased angle they have to sit on the water. additionally on takeoff they have to keep the nose very high to ensure the back of the floats clear the water as well and avoid any ground effect or suction forces by the water...
@@eddieedmondson7698 Never claimed that... Just in aviation there's a rule called See & Be Seen had that happened this could potentially been avoided...

I wholeheartedly agree. This had to have been a problem or oversight by more than one person....
I have flown Harbor Air out of Vancouver over to Victoria several times. Spectacular little planes. I do not think the pilots have much visibility.

Both pilot and boat skipper should be banned for life and sent to the nearest optician!!
I don't think that would be the worst solution... I still don't get how both the boat captain & pilot didn't see one another! 🤯
@@Calebs_Aviation Perhaps you should ask them, seeing as how you weren't there.

@TheUnknownVideographer Very true plus most small boat occupants 🛥️ are probably drunk! 😵💫 🍺
