FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
Awesome Video! One of my favorites. Glad to see Brock didn't get eaten by a Bear while waiting for you guys!
I know right? Brock actually showed us a fairly impressive pile of bear poop that he found while exploring around "mother nature's helipad" before we got there :P
When are you getting your own FlightChops episode?
Such a cool trip. Awesome work!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
aviation is awesome,sharing it with the next generation is perfect.
I love your daughters reactions on the flight ,looked like an awesome time to be had in the wilderness.
One of the best videos! Incredible scenery. Very charming family and helo pilot and of course little bull dog.
This was by far one of the best videos I have seen. The scenery and the montage at the end was very nice! Thank you for all your videos and sharing this experience with us all!
Thanks so much, Steve, for sharing this experience and your beautiful family. I just smiled through the whole video. I can't tell you how happy it made me feel. :-)
Spectacular video, Steve! Many thanks!
RotorChops, I like it. Rotorheads are slowly taking over the world! Love it Steve, see y'all in TC next month.
Wow! I expect a great video every time I see the "1" behind FlightChops, but this one is more than just great. What an awesome scenery! Thanks for sharing your family trip with us.
Big fan of Bradley (and you Steve), awesome video! And cool to see your family enjoys flying so much, always love to see someone smile in an aircraft!
My God, that place is beautiful and breathtaking... how wonderful it must have been to experience it first hand!
Wouldn't you just love a small cabin just beyond that rock, beautiful place and a great video!
This was very cool to see. My grandfather and I spent many years flying out of YPK(mostly to Chilliwack for you know what). That was a long time ago and this brought back some very fond memories.
So Beautiful. Amazing the possibilities available with a helicopter. Brad's lucky to have access to such amazing surroundings.
Hi Steve. great, and I mean GREAT video. I'm from Vancouver originally, and I've been working on my ppl. Great to see your series of left Coast vids. thanks for introducing me to Brads channell.
So high on cuteness, *and* scenery, *and* crazy flight - man, it'll be hard to top. Utterly enjoyable!
Wow... absolutely beautiful. Your videos are always awesome but this areas is just stunning!
what a brilliant film ! Amazing to share pleasures of flight with family and friends.
Congrats from Brazil !
Brilliant! Very impressed with this helicopter pilot. What a neat guy! Awesome doggy too. Beautiful family buddy!
Cool that you share your passion of flying with your family.
one of my favorites to date. Thanks for the intro to another exciting channel to follow
Great video especially with the family involved. Life long memories.
Great video. Brad is a nice guy. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Just wow. Gorgeous and well produced video. Thank you.
This is totally awesome to see. It must be fun ripping up that terrain several times a week.
Thank you thank you Mr Flight Chops for sharing this great video of Mr Brad, I also really enjoyed the Coast Guard training vid...
Amazing scenery! Every single second in this video is really beautiful! Thanks Steve.
+Dan Drums - thanks Dan!
HOW BEAUTIFULL.....WOW GREAT ARIAL VIEWS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
This... was... INCREDIBLE. Absolutely great footage. I'm definitely going to check out some of Bradley Friesen's work. And then...it's off to enter this month's contest.
Happy Face! That's what this great vid did to me, what a great flight. Loved it.
Amazed about the similarities in energy thinking in mountain flying between this and gliders.
Absolutely loved this video! Awesome channel
Absolutely stunning film Steve - love the puppy poking between the seats!
OMG!!! The bucket list item you weren't aware of until it happened! And you even got slapped! What more could you possibly ask for!? Hehehe! Livin the dream, one take off at a time!
Absolutely does not get any better than this!
Looks sane to me and living life, Thanks for the ride along
Awesome video!!!!! You have to have one of the best jobs in the world. It was also great having the West Coast ( the place I call home) featured in one of your videos. I had the opportunity several years ago to land a float plane up on Widgeon lake. It is truly a magnificent area but with lots and lots of Mosquitos...
I got my CPL(H) at CYXX and saw my schools 44 in the background :). Felt like home seeing it all in the video. Glad you got to have such an epic helicopter experience!
WOOOOWWW!!! Just... WOW !!!! You are a genius man !! Don't know how you do it, but it's amazing how you made me got goose bumps a few times with this incredible edited footage !! Beautiful and lovely family! Congrats and thanks for making this for all of us !!
Thanks! Glad you liked it so much!
Steve, you keep out doing yourself. I feel like im watching movies/tv shows now, the production is stellar. Keep up the awesome work, im so stoked to be apart of seeing the growth of this channel, its come a long way since one gopro
superb video, love what can be done with a 'chopper'.....................
Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery!
frikin awesome Steve..I don't really like helicopters but I do absolutely adore airplanes...planning to be a commercial pilot
My first look at this video FlightChops. Outstanding. Beautiful family.Good health to you all.
+thinebiggest - thanks!
Really cool watch and great to see the family have fun.
That was a great video, Steve. I really enjoyed that one. I used to live in Bellingham, Washington years ago and would spend a lot of time in B.C. It's beautiful up there.
Fantastic. Feels like I was just there. Thanks for doing it.
Yet again a fantastic video, very good Mr Thorne
Beautiful video! Great job!
Unbelievable gorgeous footage. Of course I subscribed to Brad's channel. You are livin' the life my man.
Great video. Looks like Mrs. Chops and Lil'Chop had a good time too! Great stuff Steve thanks
Keep the valley on your right so the safety margin gets bigger - superb tip thank you !
I had the pleasure to take the controls of a Schweitzer helicopter . It was fun, but I would still prefer to be in an airplane if something were to go sideways. Airplanes want to fly. Thanks for another great video. Beautiful landscape! Cute family!
Best chops video yet, and they’re all great! Both of these guys have the best jobs. There’s nothing that wasn’t cool about this episode: The scenery, the people, the story and the awesome dog. Thanks guys for these videos.
How to make me miss the BC mountains. Nice video, again.
This guy was on Smarter Every Day some years ago, wasn't he? I remember the beard and Boba Fett
He was. Also on ProSyndicate's channel. Quite a few of TH-camrs have had the opportunity to fly with him.
He is on reddit too on /r/flying subreddit.
***** That's #goals one day...

You and your wonderful family had me smiling all the way through. This time I subscribed and clicked the bell.
Thanks! :)
*These views so incredibly beautiful they almost brought me to tears.*
Wow another beauty! thanks mate.
A wonderful video which pulls us right into the action with you all, due to the many high quality cameras. Just superb! - The mountains, trees and lakes are pretty good too... Very similar vertical terrain to our South Island here in New Zealand, except we have dense bush rather than the prolific tall Canadian fur trees!
GREAT Footage! Very privileged you are!
I spend a lot of time on Pitt Lake and Pitt River boating and often see Brad in his helicopter. My first thought is where is he off to now.
That whole area is spectacular to view from the water and thanks to Brads videos I know what the surrounding mountains and lakes look like from above.
Thank Brad and Bentley
Def one of, if not my favorite video. Love the family outing
great scenery flying in helicopters. beautiful video.
sublime shots; thank you very much for video.
formidables paysages survoler en
hélicoptères. belles vidéo.
sublimes prises de vues; thank you very
much for vidéo.
One of the and your best videos mate, great pilot and great company.
Fantastic! It took me 2 months to decide if I should spend my budget on IFR or helicopter add-on. Went for IFR, this is definitely next.
I toured British Columbia a second time just recently. My absolute dream province. Such a nice landscape!!! BC is more spectacular from the air than from the ground in a car...
Thanks for such an awesome vid!
very cool video - such great footage.
Excellent excellent video and Brad has it all thought out what if the next move a true professional helicopter pilot.
Fantastic, what a great pilot, I love BC, beautiful video.
Amazing! Just...just... Amazing! Thank you man. Absolutely great job.
Chops got slapped round the chops! Couldn't have been by a better guy!!
Dude, this is awesome. I found and subbed to your channel when I was in school for my commercial helicopter license, and now I'm a CFI/II. Seeing Friesen on your channel is awesome!
Very cool! Glad you;re enjoying the content and congrats on your progress getting CFI/II!
Thanks! And thank you for all the awesome content you put out
never too old to enjoy these wonders!
I sure miss BC. Would love to go up and do some photography with this gentleman
Excellent! Thank you.
Great video Steve! They just keep getting better and better. This one had a much more polished look than usual. Not that any of the previous ones weren't pro level, I just noticed a bump in the overall look and feel of the video. Keep making great aviation content!
The view and all is amazing, but the best part is the dog. It's hilarious that he knows when to take his ear-pro off.
One of the most AWESOME videos I've watched. Just awesome. Beautiful Family you have Bro Chops! Mr. Brad, kudos to you Sir!~~John
Steve, I appreciate why you always put the CFI disclaimer on your videos, but I have learned so much even though you are not technically a CFI. A long time ago, an instructor told me to take every advantage of every flying opportunity, even if it meant paying for gas, because of the learning potential. That advice was huge. Supporting you on Patreon is a cheap way to learn a ton and support a great guy in the process. Everyone. please support Steve! He is doing us all a huge service!
+TunnelRat - I really appreciate this feedback! And definitely also appreciate the support on Patreon! I am just back from an other production trip to San Francisco for some IFR train it in the marine layer fog with Jason Miller. The support provides a budget for these projects and I look forward to sharing those videos!
Only one word : wonderful ! Thanks to all of you ! ;-)
Nice job Brad!
That was spectacular Steve. Inspiring. Beautiful. Wonderful. Looks like I'm signing up as another patreon sponsor...
Right on - thanks!
Very cool! Thank you!
Very nice! I'd say it's one of your best edits. Keep it up!
Gotta tell you Steve, this is your best one yet. Amazing views, and it felt like we were right there with you. Thanks for all you do!
Also, Brad just got another follower.
+Robert Thatcher - right on! Thanks for being a long time supporter and inspiring me to keep at it!
Omg I wish I could run into you (of course with safe traffic separation) during my training in Vancouver! I fly out o boundary bay :). Awesome videos
wow....wish I had that experience as a kid...still as an old man I'd love it 💕
Flight chops you are the best and inspire me to fly keep up the awesome work
Holy cow, what a great video! You have a lovely family.

Absolutely incredible.
Awesome video!!
Wow! I thought this was pretty long, but I was truly disappointed when it was over all too soon. I could have watched this stuff for another hour. I hope more is coming.
7:54 "Yeah yeah yeah!"
