  • It was nice meeting you on Tuesday. Thanks for the CD. I found that craigslist listing. It was an RV-3 based in troutdale. Looking forward to your next video and talking more next time at the barn.

  • Fantastic song for the video!! - CSNs' "Daylight Again" album was the best :=)

  • Awesome movie!  Even better that the guy got to build the RV himself and then go out and enjoy it.

  • nice song

  • Awesame! I love this video!

  • Sweet video and song!

  • freakin awesome

  • Awesome video! working on a slow-build -8; currently about halfway through wing construction....... your video is an inspiration and a major motivating factor to keep me "banging rivets!" Thanks for sharing it!

  • BIIIIIGGGGGGG THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

  • You lucky person to be able to own a plane. And I do agree the B1rd's as well as GU11's can be hell on an acft. When I was in Iraq we hit a flock. Had 6 impacts. Did'nt bring us down. But sure increased the pucker factor.

  • 1500 + in UH-60 Blackhawks. This is where we live. I get scared flyin too high. Awesome video.

  • Too many moving parts for an Air Force guy, ha,ha. Our biggest foe on low levels were B-1RD's. This is some awesome flying!! I watch it often before I take my -8 out. Life is to be lived!

  • Superb video, otstanding flying, 5 stars dangerous......... who cares, as long as you know what your doing :)

  • I should add...

    The pilot is insane. He's seriously risking death for a couple of minutes of thrill. I've known too many pilots that liked flying low down canyons or over the ocean. I've been to too many funerals.

    If you're going to do stuff like this - make sure there's no one around who loves you and will cry when you're gone.

  • I don't think he is an amateur.

    ;-)

  • @richardr2000 Spend a lifetime living and crying for others, then, if you can, live & die for yourself.

  • @richardr2000 at least he is doing something worthwhile if he dies and not sitting at home waiting for old age to take him

  • Sensational!

  • awesome song and awesome video!!! 5 stars

  • Wicked awsome flying. Love the good old RV 4 Got one just like it. like the roll on the turn around. Nice execution!

  • do you know if the RV8 is this nimble?

  • In every regard. Both aircraft are superb!

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO

  • Also, isn't it nice to see NO power lines!

  • The best version of this song is by Doug Geeting, the famous Talkeetna, Alaska, mountain flyer.

  • This has been here for a while....but still a winner. Just finished my RV-8 and a Husky to boot, so may just have to practice....just joking! Neat Washington scenes.

  • Nice video! Greetings from Spain ;)

  • Now this is flying down to the core! Great video!

  • is that a skunk works logo on his hat

  • Nice video. thanks for posting it.

  • Love it wish I had an aircraft like that oh well im still young. Wouldnt mind trying that but i think the CAA would have my license

    Dave

  • Sorry...mybad...was mistaken, hubby corrected me. thought it was an old blues cover..

  • I think the song came before Steven. any how, AWESOME video...couldnt have picked a better song for it! it was the song I was actually looking for when this popped up, Thanx!

  • very very nice

  • Fantastic RV-4 pilot and the song absolutely exceptional.

  • awesome

  • Stephen Stills, from the album "Stills Alone." The song is "Treetop flyer

  • Great Video,and awsome flying!! It doesn't get musch better than that. Check out the Jimmy Buffett version.

  • What kit if it?

  • Very enjoyable video....I think it might be a Burt Rutan designed 'canard' `plane; either a LongEz or a Varieze.

  • u could blow it out of the sky with a.. mig 17.. other than that, cool plane.. :)

  • Artist and album please. I want it in my headphones next flight.

  • Great Video. Believe Still wrote this song about Barry Seal the drug runner. Dr Bolo

  • Awesome, loved it. Two tours to RVN, one in gunships, recent trip to Yukon, NWT & Alaska in T182 this is a great video.

  • Very cool.

  • Enjoyable video !  (I just hope his buddy isn't doing the same 'river run' in the opposite direction someday at the same time !

  • Awesome! Reminds me of why I got into this flying biz to begin with. Thanks for the great video.

  • We are building an RV-9a ! Check out acroduster he posted a blog type video about our plane ;). The previous owners of our place built an RV-4. Very neat planes, and excellent workmanship on the kits!

  • it's stephen stills from stills alone.

    I think it's an RV 4
