Déjà Vu, Alaska - A Flying Short Film
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Our simple but sacred tradition of making a short trip into the Alaska backcountry in early May continues... While we're at it, we join some local Cub drivers on the Knik river bars, fly some Cessnas into the Alaska range, and seek out some new spots to play. Just like last time, kinda. It all felt familiar, while it was happening. Maybe because... 170s in the Wrangells? • 170s in the Wrangells

I love the "hasn't been painted or washed since 1955" look of that 170. Something about it just really cool!
I think this is the best aviation video I've ever seen on TH-cam. Such amazing work, sir!
MrAviation101 sir you are correct. Ditto that 100%
Thanks!
I must concur. Awesome footage and what a fantastic place to fly, experience and explore. Can't wait to get back up there and get back into the outback flying!!!!! There's nothing better............PERIOD!!!
Aviation101 jday Kim,m I’m.
Oh, yeah!!!! hot 🔥 stuff here, boys !!!!
Outstanding video! The scenery, editing, narration. 10/10
steveo1kinevo thanks Steveo!
This is torture to a pilot who hasn't been able to fly recently, but I can't stop watching!
The little changes in the pitch of the engine, the wobbles in the wings, the sound of the plane touching down on the gravel, the motion of the Cubs going into a steep bank right after takeoff sets off a twinge in my gut. I can feel my stomach move with the planes, hear my instructor telling me to feel the airplane move through the seat of my pants like it was just earlier today. I can feel the vibrations of the engine as the RPMs change, feel that indescribable feeling when your wheels leave the ground. My hand subconsciously tightens like I'm pulling back on the stick, my leg muscles twitch like I've got rudder pedals under my feet. I can't help but smile as each scene sends memories springing to the forefront of my mind, of good times, scary times, learning times. I yearn to actually be there, to actually feel the plane in my gut.
It makes me realize that flying is really what I'm meant to be doing. It's what I love, and I can't get enough.
17 years in Alaska, I would like to start my passion in piloting, like I should of done so 12 years ago. This videos continues to give me hope that I can still do it. Thank you for a beautiful and inspiring film.
have you done it yet?
Excellent video, thanks for producing it. Some trivia for you- N185SN once belonged to Steve and Norma Knopp of Pponk fame. We hauled fish with it out of King Salmon back in the 80s.
Wow, that IS cool. I'm sure Kyle is aware, but I had no idea.
I've watched your previous Alaska film at least 50 times. I thought that was the coolest video on all of TH-cam. That is until I saw this one. Somehow you've raised the bar even further, and renewed my total infatuation with bush flying all over again. Phenomenal film!
You have the BEST edits I’ve seen! Your narration’s are epic! Great job!
Gotta love Larry's landing technique to avoid gear damage lmao! Great Job :)
The quality of the filming as well as the piloting skills are just fantastic!
This is beauty on so many levels. Thank you so much for bringing it to us.
I've watched this video at least 10 times. More please!
The best and most sincere aviation production I have ever seen! That's all
Absolutely love the sights and sounds, and narration, of this video. The C-185 engine sounds peacefully haunting in the serene beauty and backdrop of the Rohn airstrip.
20:00 the sound of that engine is so unbelievably cool
I have been anticipating this video for what seems like forever. Thank you for delivering
I love seeing these older planes that are still to this day the best for that type of flying and still being maintained and used for what they were meant for..
YYYYEEEEESSSSS........ Great Job on the M.A.S.H. Theme song. MASH is what got me obsessed with Helicopters as a Child.
I am a Pilot from Brazil and this is one of the best aviation videos I have ever seen!
The quality is fantastic!
Good job!
I loved the MASH theme song. killing it
Just way better than any movie!
Stunning film. I'm a fan of all your aviation films, but Déjà Vu, Alaska may be a favorite for a long time. Thanks for taking us along.
Yes! Finally
Beautiful edit. Thanks for sharing your art with us.
Gertrude Bartlet where the hell have you been?
Just Fantastic!! Thank You!
So beautiful and awesome, well done!! What can be better than that? Those birds are incredible, the STOL's wow!! Thank you for this amazing video, keep them coming! Safe skies!
Some of the best scenery I’ve seen on TH-cam, some beautiful planes and flying in the video too. Put all these things together and you have a video that brings a tear to your eye. Cause your not there but still get to see it. Or could be just me.
As, so true I live here and have flown with some great Alaskan pilots, no place compares to Alaska flying, simple!!!
Stars of the Lid ! RFDM
Good ear.
absolutely love it!
In 2001 I had the privilege of seeing exactly what these Alaskan Bush pilots could do. BEYOND AMAZING. I spent about 5 months outside Big Lake and was privileged enough to get a total of 8 hours of flying in myself. There are no better pilots on Earth than the ALASKAN BUSH PILOTS
One of the most beautiful aviation videos on TH-cam. Beautiful drone shots. Beautiful locations. Just awesome. Keep doing!
The sound of Kyle's skywagon is truly something incredible. Love this video!
Always look forward to every video you make! Excellent job!
holy hell the cinematography in this is absolutely insane!
your films are priceless! need more, please
Nice job Zane.
Yet more amazing inspiration to fly. Thank you and Backed!
Flacke thank you for the support!!
speechless...what a work of art!
Planes look like a ton of fun, the scenery is magic but the short take offs and landings early in the video were truly something.
I’ve rewatched this video at least 5 times
It’s beautiful ❤️
While growing up in Anchorage NEAR MERRILL FIELD I always was proud of knowing my Uncles were pilots in the bush late 30s too 60s.
Amazing sights and sounds of Back Country Flying. Very inspiring!
Such fine work, what a treat it is to watch your short films.
Well done, produced & edited guys!..One of the best I've seen.
When I was a kid I dreamed of flying fast jets, as a young adult I dreamed of flying big jets. Now that I'm over 50, aviation paradise is in Alaska, and you bush pilots are elected. You practice one of the 2 purest forms of aviation, the other is the one I practice: mountain gliding ... Thank you for sharing this with us, your images are absolutely superb. You have a lot of talent.
Friendly greetings from France.
OMG, it’s a masterpiece of video editing. You‘ve done à really great job, congrats !!!
Excellent edit! Beautiful stuff.
Stunning as usual!!
This is pure beauty, well done to all of you and well done for the superb filming and editing!

Mesmerized this is beautiful
This video was brilliant. You've masterfully captured aviation and Alaskan landscape. I also really appreciated your aviation filmography. Well done! - Lifelong Alaskan and aviation nerd.
Stars of the Lid on the soundtrack to the subject I care most about in the world. You, sir, are a good person.
You have a good ear.
@@BackcountryPilot Thanks! I'm a huge STOL fan and I've only just realised as I type this that Stars Of The Lid = STOL... almost ;)
More importantly: beautiful film mate, thank you. Inspiring to a learner like me.
Wow, That blue and white 170B is stunning. That guys panel tells me all I need to know about the rest of the airframe!!!!
GREAT video...and the first video I've watched in a few years with the proper use of music! Well done.
Stunning. Beautifully filmed
Amazing video. Transcending beautiful
Great work to everyone involved in producing this excellent video,you really feel part of the adventure taking place,life is for living and living it you are !
Love the C-185 sky wagon sound during take off
This is incredible :O
Bush flying and trifonic! I would’ve waited twice as long for this beauty and still been satisfied
TheWindigomonster good ear...good taste!
Great editing, sweet vid! Keep em coming.
... awesome footage, very cool Taildragger flying and skills ...
This is the coolest video on Youtue. great work
Great video 😊💯
Amazing footage, fantastic job at an amazing area. The M.A.S.H. scene killed me though, you guys rock!
Wow! Awesome short landing and takeoff. Cool.
That highcountry is a beast !!!
Again, amazing work! Keep it up Zane!
Nothing like flying over Alaska. Flew for the first time over Homer and this video took me back. Great film!
Fantastic film. These guys are great pilots.
Neat bud. A far cry from the maddening crowd. Looks magic.
Wow, just wow! This was an amazing video, I loved every minute of it. Great job on the video production, flying, and everything!
Hey 737 pilot here, flying out of Canada. I'm going back to flying the turboprop with everything going on with the COVID. Just came on here to get a break from the training. Jealous of what you all get to do. Love the tradition, keep it up gentlemen!
Well, consider that it's just a movie of footage from a short period of time, telling the story I want to be living. I returned home to my 2 kids and the grind as a software developer. Since having kids I fly about 25 hours per year. It sucks. At least you're in the cockpit!
Amazing video! I almost cried how beautiful everything is up there and the fun you guys had with those beautiful planes!
Beautiful photography!
Absolutely stunning scenery & one of my favorite TH-cam videos, thank you for posting.
Low and slow love it! I especially liked the scene of the cessna holding 30 feet short of the active 2-track gravel runway(20' wide?) that was pointed at a very large immovable mountain......and that sketchy punk blue paint scheme.
Awesome, love the video to continue the stoke.
Ive watched the whole thing 4 times since it came out, I love it...14:35 no "F" given
A really nice video. The narration was just right. Not to much, not to little. Great job.
Nice video, got to hangout with Ron last year in Alaska, great guy.
Planes that take off and land in the shortest time. Amazing!
Great production Zzz! Dying of envy...
And what beautifuls backgrounds, and amazing shots. This is Art !
What an amazing film!
Thank you so much Zane for sharing these awesome Alaskan flying and landscapes.
Cheers from the Alps.
Fantastic :) Great job.Amazing views and drone flights.Thanks.
I'm privileged to have been able to watch this extraordinary video.
So effing cool...totally jealous
Great video! I am an airline pilot，but i love bush planes, you guys are great! That's the real pilots, to explore the nature, the world, then you will find yourself in it.
