Just First Class, Corrie. You get better by the day. The visuals are the very best on You Tube. And you are becoming much more comfortable with the narrative. The details you give are excellent.
@AVMamfortas, I am sincerely grateful for your kind words, engagement and support, it means the world to me. I put my heart and soul into every video, from filming, to editing and learning. I am proud of a recent accomplishment. Yesterday my channel passed 1 million views. I am in awe of the number. It has been a lot of hard work and dedication. I have the best audience on the TH-cam platform and I'm so happy you are on the journey with me. Without an audience my passion wouldn't be much fun. My channel will be 2 years old in mid August, still a toddler with much more to learn and grow. Best....Corrie
Red Canada Otter born same year as me-1952. When I walk my son's dog on the west shore , she is crazy for driftwood and any smelly sea wrack. Me , I can't help but stop and watch every take-off and landing. And taxiing . Brings out that long ago 10 year old boy in me. Thanks for identifying these beautiful planes and filming them.
@robertdavenport6705 Thanks Robert, I am truly grateful for your kind words, engagement and support. It's always great to receive local support. When I walk on the Songhees walking trail, I can't help myself, the seaplanes are the best distraction from a brisk walk. 1952 sounds like an amazing year, a new Otter and your welcome to the world.

@SailingtheLoungeResurrected, I was in Nanaimo just over a week ago for a different seaplane spotting experience. It was beautiful but quiet the day I was there. I got a little bit of good footage, but not great audio. I had mic issues and there was loud music on the dock. I'll edit it and AI music, and see how it turns out. It will be an experiment. Something new, it might be great, it might be an epic failure. Thanks for your kind words and support, I am truly grateful. Best...Corrie

C-FODH is the same again as me 72-years and looks to be doing much better than me, but she gets first class maintenance too. Thanks for the video, from Saint John, New Brunswick, on the Bay of Fundy.
@Chuck59ish, if we could get the same care and maintenance as these beautiful machines, we'd be first class too. C-FODH is without a doubt, my favourite Otter. It's livery and longevity are truly remarkable. Harbour Air's new Twin Otter in the Canadian Flag livery is pretty amazing too. It is on my bucket list to spend several months living on the East Coast and seeing how different it is from the west.

When you have problems stabilizing your approach there's only one sensible thing to do and this pilot did it. An old aviation joke says there are three rules for a successful landing, the only trouble is.no-one knows what they are. Actually that go around was very professionally done. The decision was made early before too much speed was lost so that transition from landing to go around required the minimum of changes to the configuration of the aircraft. I always look forward to seeing your videos. That was another Beaver from the last year of production then.

If you can't do a crosswind landing in those conditions you should not be operating in that Harbour. He touched down before the gust which put him back in the air. Cutting the corner like that and trying to get into wind will get you in trouble every time because of the turbulence coming over the buildings. Do a proper crosswind approach and landing and it will work.

Reduces drag and one wing can lift out 1st then other wing can lift as plane speeds up makes less dragon second float
And best to lift up wind float out 1st
Purposely take off with one float 1st … but landing in crosswind

I think your pronunciation of the word livery is incorrect
@robrobinson7340, duly noted. I pronounce livery incorrectly. I will fix my narrations going forward, once I figure out how to say it properly...lol. Thanks for your engagement and support, I am truly grateful. Best...Corrie
If you can't do a crosswind landing in those conditions you should not be operating in that Harbour. He touched down before the gust which put him back in the air.
Cutting the corner like that and trying to get into wind will get you in trouble every time because of the turbulence coming over the buildings. Do a proper crosswind approach and landing and it will work.
@stampy990, I appreciate your perspective on the situation. Victoria is a tricky harbour when the wind is nasty. I am truly grateful for your engagement and support, thank you. Best...Corrie
