Sarah, the narration on this video was simply amazing. As professional as I've ever heard and it brought me into your story which isn't an easy thing to do. Outstanding job on this video and yes do not take your front porch view for granted as that's as good as it get in my opinion. Thanks for taking us along on this plane ride.
I see why you are getting work to do vids etc. Your narration skills are top notch and of course your video quality, editing and B roll stuff is great - congrats all round.
Every time I view one of your videos, I get flashbacks of some of my trips to Fontana. A hiking buddy of mine and I hiked from Clingmans Dome down Welch Ridge Trail to Hazel Creek Trail, and then ferried a cross to the marina, and eventually hiked down below the dam to camp for a couple of nights with our spouses. Charlie and I set up our camp. I took a shower at the bath house. when I came out, Charlie was tossing small cookies to some skunks and leading them out of the campground. They had attached my back pack! Just another old memory. PS I have a pilot license, I understand and feel some of those same feelings when I fly over something as beautiful as Fontana dam and Fontana lake. Thanks for sharing your videos. Love them all. Thanks again.
My sister knew I wanted to jump out of an airplane so one day she calls and says, it is time. We went tandem, each with our own instructor attached to our back and jumped at 8000 feet. Sarah, when I saw you land with that big beautiful smile, it reminded me of my sis and I, smiling for the rest of the day. There truly is not anything that compares to flying in the open air, feeling the wind and enjoying what God made from such a lofty perch.
Wow, Sarah, this was breathtaking! So glad you were able to conquer any fears you may have had. What an amazing opportunity. Thanks for sharing this with us. See y’all next Friday!
Who knows, sometimes we surprise ourselves! Just takes a few seconds of courage to say yes, after that you can be as scared as you want and it’s out of your hands 😂❤️ that’s how I felt anyways!
My daughter and her boyfriend have a 4 passenger side by side (kind of like a dune buggy). My husband and I went to visit them this summer and they invited us to go drive the dunes. I’m not very adventurous, but I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. We went around and up and down at a reasonable pace for at least an hour when her boyfriend asked if we were ready to go faster…ummmm, I guess so? He put ‘er in high gear and went whipping around the various bushes and up and down hills. I found myself laughing and whooping hysterically. It really made me feel like a kid again! My daughter’s jaw dropped to see her “serious” mom cackling with glee. Maybe I could still handle a roller coaster…?? I’m loving your videos. I’m sorry it took horrific Helene to find your channel, but I’m enjoying the scenery of your neck of the woods. Congrats on all your accomplishments and good luck with your winter plans.
Oh man!! I bet that was awesome, I haven’t seen it bigger than my laptop screen haha but hopefully the quality held up on when blown up on the big screen! ❤️📺
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses The camera you used to record the flight is obviously high quality. It was as good as any 4K video I've seen. Be assured that your content is uploading perfectly. 🎞 🎬 📽 🖥 🤩
I have only seen them on some nat geo films where it’s the only form of transportation to remote areas, such as around the Alaskan peninsula! They usually look just like a normal plane (small plane, not jet), but with those pontoon things under them for the water landing. So this one was pretty wild with it being open air! 😁
I’m not sure! I know he shared with us that he had to do a certain # of hours of training before he could legally take other people up with him for commercial purposes (he does that for a living). But I believe you don’t actually need a pilots license to fly one just for fun! or that’s what google seems to think anyways 😆
Me and wifey ParaSailed in the Keys about 10-15 years ago. Was an incredible experience. Once we got to a certain altitude ..... everything was so serine and calming.... very beautiful and quiet at the same time!! :)
OMG!!!!!! I had no idea there was a such thing as an altralite sea plane!!!! Your face was not big enough for your grin!!!! I took a sea plane ride over Long Lake in the ADKs. It was fantastic!!! But an Altralite!! Your so lucky! Sure wish I had too much money. I'd love one.
I know right, it is so cool!! I bet your seaplane ride was amazing too! I’m not sure how much those planes cost to own haha but he usually charges $75 for a ride, not too steep at all considering the experience you get! 😍
I just noticed you're up to 40.6k subscribers now!!! Woo Hoo! If given the opportunity I would fly in one of those in a heartbeat. I've always loved roller coasters and zip-lining, but never could make myself do a bungee jump. One thing on my bucket list was to go white water rafting one day, but at 66 with no travel budget now, I doubt I'll ever scratch that off. I was always a window seat gal on an airplane who wanted my window up and couldn't understand why others kept theirs closed.
Thank you!! & I am right there with you on the bungee jump thing!! That’s one thing I just wouldn’t do! 😂 glad you feel me on the window seat thing ❤️❤️
I've gone scuba diving with Tiger sharks in the South Pacific. On purpose. I paid to do it. Terrifying and beautiful at the same time. The dichotomy is part of the beauty. Growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone.
Great video, you are living the dream we had in our early years. We just didn't have the technology to make off grid work, or the means to make a living. I assume Brandon's job came before the house... My dad owned a Breezy, a bigger & faster version of that plane w/o floats. The hard part was getting the bugs off your teeth. He was a crazy pilot but very proficient. We lived just off the Mississippi river and a road ran down the levee and he would fly below that road and we would wave up at the cars while we were gathering corn tassels in the wheels... We used to trout fish below Greers Ferry Lake Dam at Heber Springs, AR. We had a beautiful waterfront lot on the lake for a few years before we realized that it would be years before we could build on it, so we sold it. Worst decision we ever made... The morning fog on the river below the dam had some interesting effects with those fishing's heads only sticking up out of the fog, then the bodies slowly appearing as the fog dropped down and disappeared. There is a hatchery so the fishing was good for rainbow, with a few browns mixed in. We will try again to make it to Fontana next spring. I assume the area is starting to slowly come back together. It is amazing how many pitched in and worked together to make it happen. Political parties disappear when disaster happens.
Hi Sarah! On my sister’s 40th bday I talked her into taking a helicopter flight with me! As we circled the CN tower in Toronto I’ll never forget the look of joy on her face! The same look I saw on your face! Thanks for bringing back that memory for me! As always, love from T&C!
@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses I don’t think that I could talk her into doing it again! Thanks for the great video! Amazing flight! Good for you! Love from T&C!
I had a similar experience about 60 years ago only mine was in a helicopter a two seater one with glass all around and under it I could look down and see the ground, what I did not know at the time that when it took off the tail goes up and did not straiten up until it got to the right altitude, I can remember at the time I tried to scream but no sound came out, in the end I was so glad that I took up the offer and remember the ride to this day. 🚁
You may have already done it, but you’ve got to go skydive! I like the static line best because you’re solo and can “play” around at 6000 ft before graduating to 15000 ft. What a rush
Sarah, A two seat ultralight is technically a light sport plane, it does not fall under Part 103 of the FARs. It has to be registered and N-numbered, and requires at least a light sport pilot rating to fly. I have a Quad City Challenger CH-2, and it is a lot of fun, I have several hundred hrs flying ultralight/light sport planes. Like Mark Huneycutt, I started my aviation career flying helicopters in the US Army. I've thought about getting floats for my CH-2, but true amphibious floats(retractable wheels for runway landings) are $$$$$. I'm glad you enjoyed your flight, the scenery is beautiful, and your editing and narration were excellent. Looking forward to the next video.
Great info!! Thanks for sharing ☺️ I did notice the N number on the back and figured that meant there was some sort of registration process involved. Very cool!
That would have been the COOLEST!!! i would have been sprinting to get on that plane! I did Air Search and Rescue for a few years. We traveled in small planes. I actually have been in a plane crash and survived! Still get on a plane!
Wow!!! That is a wild thing to be able to say, have you ever played the game “two truths and a lie”? You would win every time I bet 🙈 anyways I gotta know a little more detail now - what happened?!?
@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses I was flying with a pilot that was up there in age. He tried to land from too high and coming in too hot. As soon as we hit I saw a tire come off and go in another direction. I thought to myself, we are going to need that. The pilot did a hard right and it dug the nose of the plane into the dirt until we stopped. The plane was destroyed and the pilot lost his license but we all survived.
Thank you for sharing this incredibly cool experience! It reminds me of when I flew in a Grob glider/sailplane with a friend. We took off with the engine, but when we got to altitude, my friend cut power & we soared for what seemed like forever. The only sounds were the wind and the birds flying around us. When we were getting close to ground, my friend looked over at me with a cheeky grin & said that he hoped the engine would start. Of course it did and we landed smooth as glass. It was one of the best experiences of my life. :)
great video I love the breathing view only from my computer i will never be off the ground but will ride with you from here love you guys for having fun💞
How exciting! The closest I've been in something like that is when we were doing training with the State Patrol and they picked us up from the middle of the woods hanging with ropes and harness under a helicopter with our feet 10 to 20 feet over the trees. I wish we had stuff like GoPro or 360 back then because I never had the chance to do that again. If you didn't narrate that video you could have used your smile to say it all! 😊😊😊
That’s it… I’m going to climb that 6’ ladder and change that light bulb come he’ll or high water! I have stubbed my toe for the last time, bulb you’re going down!!!😂 I’m not afraid of heights as much as I am afraid of hitting the ground lol 😊
Thank you for the video! Those are some great shots of the dam and lake from the air! I think the 360 camera was the better option. For one, it didn't require you to unnecessarily move your arms around too much to capture such great scenery. One request: Could you replace the "no signal"/test pattern transition in your editing? It's so abrupt and startling it's giving me a migraine. Thank you.
🌈 WO, how'd ya que that rainbow 😅🎉 ... As we literally hit the heights in this video (👀 lookin' at the breathtaking views 😍) I got chills all over & thought to myself, "How blessed are we!!! I'd never get to see this view" I always think this when watching TH-cam videos of different places (I've really never been anywhere outside of Oklahoma.) then the thought came to my ❤, "Jus' think... this is a mere sliver of this big beautiful world 🌎 I created"... then this scripture came to my mind, "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. ~ Romans 1:20"... Selah. 🙏 So true so true... what an amazing video. Like so many other times, it made my wkd. Much love ya'll 🍞 🥣🌤 🚤🌞🐕
Hi I love your channel and your content but I’ll have to be that one “guy”. Please remove the audio saying Brandon saying I’ll pay for your gas and he goes flying. That is not permissible for the flying that is being done. The pilot is very likely 99.9999% a standup individual and a great guy. I have no issues with him or what he is doing…. Taking people up on flight and sharing the experience…. That is awesome. This is to keep him out of trouble if the wrong person hears that remark. Even if he does hold a commercial pilot certificate. Which I believe he does based on the other comments, He cannot be compensated to fly (someone else paying for fuel is considered compensation) and offer his own aircraft to carry passengers - that is considered operating an illegal air carrier. It’s just best to remove any audio evidence of compensation. Anyways. Love the video and looking forward to the next one as I do every week. I’m sorry to make this comment.
I certainly do not know the ins an outs of the legalities of flying &/or running a commercial business involving aircraft, but I do know that this guy makes his entire living running a legitimate business where he takes people on flights with him, as do many other businesses in the outdoor adventure tourism industry. For example the same is done on helicopters (I.e helicopter tours), alaskan seaplane adventures, etc. Again i’m no expert, but I am pretty confident that using an aircraft for commercial purposes isn’t illegal, given how many tax paying companies all over the country do it out in the open every day? 🤔
I am a pilot and this is a terrific video
Sarah, the narration on this video was simply amazing. As professional as I've ever heard and it brought me into your story which isn't an easy thing to do.

Very sweet of you to say! Thank you!
being afraid and doing it anyway? isnt that the exact definition of courage? thumbs up her guys
The courage to do that is awesome. It looked beautiful, not sure if I could do it. I'm not fond of airplanes. The landings & take offs.
❤️💪🤠
I had trouble getting my friend's pontoon boat started and Brandon was kind enough to help out. Thanks Brandon!
🤙👌🤠
If I could be another creature, I would be a bird, to see the world. So pretty! I love the window seat too!❤
I hear that! 😍🦅
Omg I'm crying! I would love that flight!. Beautiful!

So fun!! ❤️❤️

You right about that! Go for it or regret forever that you didn't.

Fantastic video Sarah!!!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed! ❤️
That flight looked totally amazing, what an epic view and be able to do. ❤️ I would have been to scared to go though

I love ultralight’s and have always wanted one. Only been up in one once. So much fun.
Super fun!! 🤙
Sarah, I had to replay your flight, fullscreen on my 100 inch TV. I swear that I was actually right there with you. Awestruck! 😮 Good for you. 😊

Wowizer!!
😁❤️
And trust! You trusted at the level us Mamas pray for our daughters all the time 🙏🏽you trusted your pilot

What a beautiful time. Not sure id have the courage. I wouldn't go sky diving.
See i’ve never been courageous enough to go sky diving!! Maybe one day 🙈
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses no I can't see jumping out of a plane that is still flying. If my life depended on it I'd hold on tight.
That was awesome.That was so beautiful up there
It really was! 🥰
Awesome!
Great video, you are living the dream we had in our early years. We just didn't have the technology to make off grid work, or the means to make a living. I assume Brandon's job came before the house...
My dad owned a Breezy, a bigger & faster version of that plane w/o floats. The hard part was getting the bugs off your teeth. He was a crazy pilot but very proficient. We lived just off the Mississippi river and a road ran down the levee and he would fly below that road and we would wave up at the cars while we were gathering corn tassels in the wheels...
We used to trout fish below Greers Ferry Lake Dam at Heber Springs, AR. We had a beautiful waterfront lot on the lake for a few years before we realized that it would be years before we could build on it, so we sold it. Worst decision we ever made... The morning fog on the river below the dam had some interesting effects with those fishing's heads only sticking up out of the fog, then the bodies slowly appearing as the fog dropped down and disappeared. There is a hatchery so the fishing was good for rainbow, with a few browns mixed in. We will try again to make it to Fontana next spring. I assume the area is starting to slowly come back together. It is amazing how many pitched in and worked together to make it happen. Political parties disappear when disaster happens.

You may have already done it, but you’ve got to go skydive! I like the static line best because you’re solo and can “play” around at 6000 ft before graduating to 15000 ft. What a rush
Neither of us have skydived before! We go back & forth on that, not sure if we want to or not 😂 thanks for the tip on the static line thing!
WOW 😮😂
Colors are beautiful. Ever seen bears?
All the time! But rarely ever around our house, probably because of our akita. But often out in the uninhabited areas on the lake & in the woods. 🙌
Sarah,
A two seat ultralight is technically a light sport plane, it does not fall under Part 103 of the FARs. It has to be registered and N-numbered, and requires at least a light sport pilot rating to fly.

Wondered why you were afraid of dropping a camera in a plane lol.
What an experience! Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha I didn’t even think about how that would’ve been very unclear at first if you hadn’t seen the plane yet 😂 ❤️
I luv your videos. They are very well done. Sarah, would you please share your process of making fresh sourdough bread. I luv your baking.
Will do!! ❤️ glad you’re enjoying the videos 🥰

Hahaha yesss 💪 that dead bulb’s gonna hate to see you comin! 😼👊
I love to fly, the best is a small airplane or helicopter, I would really enjoy something like this
Sounds like it! 👏🙌
Best pans are stainless steel and cast iron. Avoid non stick and aluminum.
How far are you guys from Lake Lure?
2.5-3 hours drive!
Thank you for the video! Those are some great shots of the dam and lake from the air! I think the 360 camera was the better option. For one, it didn't require you to unnecessarily move your arms around too much to capture such great scenery. One request: Could you replace the "no signal"/test pattern transition in your editing? It's so abrupt and startling it's giving me a migraine. Thank you.
Where do you ho go to the bathroom
On the seaplane, you don’t. At our house… in the bathroom, preferably on the toilet! 🙈
Young lady now all the tube you need to do is?? Get your own float plane right??🤙😀💯🤑
🤣 I dont know if that one’s in the 2025 budget plan!

Hi I love your channel and your content but I’ll have to be that one “guy”. Please remove the audio saying Brandon saying I’ll pay for your gas and he goes flying. That is not permissible for the flying that is being done.
The pilot is very likely 99.9999% a standup individual and a great guy. I have no issues with him or what he is doing…. Taking people up on flight and sharing the experience…. That is awesome. This is to keep him out of trouble if the wrong person hears that remark.
Even if he does hold a commercial pilot certificate. Which I believe he does based on the other comments, He cannot be compensated to fly (someone else paying for fuel is considered compensation) and offer his own aircraft to carry passengers - that is considered operating an illegal air carrier.
It’s just best to remove any audio evidence of compensation.
Anyways. Love the video and looking forward to the next one as I do every week.
I’m sorry to make this comment.
I certainly do not know the ins an outs of the legalities of flying &/or running a commercial business involving aircraft, but I do know that this guy makes his entire living running a legitimate business where he takes people on flights with him, as do many other businesses in the outdoor adventure tourism industry. For example the same is done on helicopters (I.e helicopter tours), alaskan seaplane adventures, etc. Again i’m no expert, but I am pretty confident that using an aircraft for commercial purposes isn’t illegal, given how many tax paying companies all over the country do it out in the open every day? 🤔
