"Enter your text here"...Uh, can I say "Dayumn!"?

[CaptnDave69u]

Who needs a seaplane endorsement? lol Awesome landing, I would have soiled myself.

[PhrynosomaTexas]

Fuckin A man.

[pilotman322]

sick landing!!

[assasinbob1]

One way to clean your plane. xD

[youtrein]

Wow that's short !

[TeenFlyer95]

one way of cleaning the under carriage

[grfield1]

Nicely done...

[poptartpencil]

i love talkeetna

[askcaptainscott]

I've watched this video 30 times...Neat.

[19211926]

Beautiful!! I love 170's.

[stealhty1]

[youtoober808]

at first i thought special fx were used in this video. when your landing it looks like your coming at the camera at only a few mph.

cool stuff

[mxman95]

GOOD IDEA FOR A SHORT LANDING

[the4ork]

what size tires are you running to do that? they seem a tad bigger than my monster retreads. I have the 0-300 in mine, i might be able to get into a spot like that, but taking off would be a different story :P

[talkeetnaair]

tires are 8.50 x 6. for that kind of stuff i wish i had the 31" bushwheels.

[JayJay1990fromwiehl]

nice one

[jaredsega]

SWEET!! great vid!

[clipper1145]

that was preety cool

[flightlevel56]

Just wondering, are you running the original O-300D in your 170 or do u have a different engine in it? I noticed your cowling is different from the original.

[talkeetnaair]

The engine is a Lycoming O-360. 180hp

[FoulOwl]

You dont see videos like that every day.That was cool.

[Cliffs12345]

Nice video is the reason why you stopped so fast is cause u touched the water im not sure so id thought id ask :)

[talkeetnaair]

water helped slow the plane down.....but a fine line between slowing down and nosing over.

[CGMIX150]

love the movie.

[talkeetnaair]

stoked you dig it!

[UTubeGlennAR]

With a long lens, sure the distance is somewhat distorted.

However, nonetheless,

Pretty dam impressive.............

[talkeetnaair]

i liked the big lens effect. i paced out the distance at 200'. i'm not much of a pilot, but i don't think i could have stopped in much less space. a cub could take off and land in that distance....haahaha

[MrWildfire78]

wow hes good..!how the hek he land the plane in a short distance ...wow! man your good...are you a bush pilot? lols!

[talkeetnaair]

@MrWildfire78 not really a bush pilot, but do enjoy flying off field.

[MrWildfire78]

@talkeetnaair thats the best landing ive ever seen..ill bet when you touch down in the water your elevator is full up..thats awesome man nice...

[alyinsanfran]

Best video I've seen this week.

[TheMustangma]

preaty impressinve,,nice job!

[blueflame53]

lol def need to throw a pair of tundras on that thing.....nice flying!

[jahva13]

Stupid, but precise.

[talkeetnaair]

@jahva13 yeah, i scored low on the SAT....about 30, but when 50K is at stake even someone stupid like me wants to be precise. haha

[straighttailpilot]

@talkeetnaair I know your reply was an old one but I got to tell you that has GOT to be the best comeback in youtube history man I laughed A BUNCH!

[johneboy1956]

Very nice landing. I'm impressed.

[ritualghost]

Awesome landing, i think you need some bush tires on that thing ;)

[captOrange1]

great skills cap, Im a skydive pilot and i know what general aviation is about congrats ;)

[PARATERRORIST]

cool landing dude!!!!!!!

[amediastintas]

i own a 182 b with 850. sixes on the mains and 650.sixes on the nose wheel i almost bought a 170b have you flown the 180 or 182? whats your take on high altitude big loads short runways 182 80 or 170?

[talkeetnaair]

I've flown a 185, but not a 180 or 182. density altitude is always a consideration (temps, actual altitude, fuel/load) etc. You'll have to scope out your owner's manual. good luck and have fun!

[amediastintas]

yeah. well i fly high density altitude all the time. the lowest i ever get is 6500 feet. so i do a lot of hight density mountain flying. but i was wondering because i thought maybe a 170 a or b with a franklin engine conversion could outfly my 182. thanks Happy landings

[talkeetnaair]

can't comment. haven't flown a 170 w/convsersion or a 182. Both great planes. ciao, c

[tatakiboy]

Very Impressive..!!!

[agcatdriver]

Did you do all the mods on your 170 yourself? I'm about to buy a 170 that already has the 180 gear, one peice windshield, scott tailwheel, cleveland brakes, etc. It still has the Conti O-300 though, and I would love to do the STC mod for the 180 Lycoming.

[skyypilot]

Very, very impressive. Looks like yours is converted to Lycoming? What horsepower? I have a landing on here but it is dreadfully boring compared to yours.

[talkeetnaair]

Lycoming O-360-AIA. 180HP w/ Harzell c/s prop. It's a great set up, and the 170 is a sweet all around aircraft.

[grignosse]

That's the shortest Cessna landing I ever saw!...How far was the camera from the water?

[talkeetnaair]

About 250' from water to camera. Fun stuff!

[agcatdriver]

OutSTANDING! Wish I lived where you live and could fly in that environment every day.

[talkeetnaair]

Hi AgCat- you need to get up to Alaska and burn some AvGas. Spectacular place to fly!

[Jurdoc024]

i'm impressed, considering the lack of tundra tyres.....

[talkeetnaair]

8.50 x 6's. Tundra tires would be sweet, but expensive. Most places I've gone the 8.50's work great...plus less torque on the gearbox and drag.

[Magcheck]

Wow. Wasn't sure where that was going at the beginning but very nice ending shot. Good work.

[talkeetnaair]

Fun to splash in water! Slows the plane down pretty quick too.

[morganou79]

very nice wiew

[DriveAK]

nice landing! and nice job and the filming it looks good!

[pferucci]

Nice cameron--just like a super cub landing!
