Alaska Bush Pilot Experience

Ride aboard a De Havilland Beaver float plane with an Alaskan bush pilot from Ketchikan to Port Protection and back. Experience what its like to take off and land on the water. Cargo included two passengers, two dogs, US Mail and two tourists (us).

With over 3,100 views spanning 19 months, I'm surprised no one else has posted a comment to say what a great "as it really is" video adventure this was. Such a gorgeous, yet isolated place from the rest of the world. And all from the perspective of a true old bush plane. I really enjoyed this, thank you.

Home! What a great video that brought back many memories! I loved flying in Beavers! I haven’t been back to Ketchikan in almost 10 years. Thank you for the memories.

Very nice video- I miss flying in Beaver's on floats, such a great airplane- we had one at A & P school in the 70's, learned all it's systems and came to love it. The R-985 made music from idle to full throttle. Man, what an airplane!

Always wanted to be a bush pilot.
Instead, I’m stuck flying reindeer once a year 😔

The pilot has some serious aviation skills.
