AT 2:52 what plane is that? Oh, first GOOD VID! WELL DONE.

Oh to have the throttle control on a radial engine...........girls just don't get it. but we always put their name on the toy.

[Iris421989]

Dude, are you south african?

[majestyne]

Beautiful. What's the song in the very beginning?

[HIllCarver]

Sweeeet video man! Learning to fly in Oregon, U.S right now, but i am going to move to alaska here very soon, and start training up there to do some bush flying similar to what you are doing..Great videos and scenery, keep up the great flying!

[Iris421989]

@ 2:56

wow, i mean there are so many good pics here, but that one is special.

Canadian wilderness, beautiful aviation, and check that prop!

[jmagicfingers]

Man why would you ever want to fly airlines when that's you're office. Yours is the one profession I wish I could get to. Have some hours in a supercub and fell in love. One day I'll come back to it.

[sjackson1515]

Absolutely awesome!

Wish the music didn't cover the sound of the engine on take off though.

Some of the things on my list of things to do before I die is, fly a floatplane and see grizzlies in the wild

[mcgrawtim123]

@sjackson1515 Well, I've flown with both.

[Nuance5]

@sjackson1515 Absolutely. No sweeter music than the sound of an R-985!

[twobazzar]

pikeish...i almost was thinkin ak ...south east...killer vid thanks

[kingfreakinkong]

LOL...cool vid

I like the part the the guy sleeping on the float...!

[VincentSinclair]

nice video, must be nice to be able to afford to do all that,

[fastcabrio]

nice vids, Starting confederation in 3 weeks, leaving in 2 days for Thunderbay!

[mcgrawtim123]

Pilots! I rebuilt and maintained DHC-2s and Cessan floatplanes for 25+ yrs. Pilots never give the mechanic much credit, though some of my best friends were seaplane pilots, now deceased. And I miss them.

But show a mechanic once in awhile. The planes don't heal themselves.

[the1bigace]

Im attending college for an A&P licence right now, mainly so I can really dive into aviation as a pilot witd an avid understanding of the systems in aircraft. Besides I love using my hands XD Mechanics in general dont get much credit. Cars, Trucks, Boats you name it...

[jumpseat2024]

I agree...I always try to show the mechanics appreciation..we virtually put our lives in your hands and def need to be appreciated more.

[veldman37]

I wish I could but we flew to Geraldton for maintenance and I didn't snap any pics of those guys. You gotta give respect to maintenance for keeping these planes flying!

[mcgrawtim123]

@veldman37 Thanks for your reply. I watch your video every month or so. I still remember every rivet, screw, bolt, nut, cable, pipe, tank, instrument, wire, and hose on that airplane. Lots of flying in it, too.

Thanks again for the videos.

[fxdwings]

@mcgrawtim123 I give you guys tons of credit. Without you guys we wouldnt be flying. Looking to buy an aircraft for alaska. Something on floats. Cessna 206 or dhc-2?

[mcgrawtim123]

@fxdwings If you can afford a DHC-2 go for it.

[kjp45]

@mcgrawtim123 less talking - more wrench turning!

[HARRYFRIGGINPOTTER1]

@mcgrawtim123 Thank you, without mechanic's wrenching for us we wouldn't get to enjoy our passion. I try to take mine up whenever He wants to.

[2av8gg]

Nice videos (1,2&3) I use to fly the Twotter (Twin otter).. Now I'm flying jets.

This Bush guy has a super cool job (hard work)and they are pretty hard to get too.

Keep them floats down buddy !

[Chavesshu]

What kind of jets?

me and some friends (20 peeps) bought a Beechcraft Premier IA,

A Fun mini sized Business/private jet... we often trou with it trough Western Europe, for so fat we havnt had mutch problems with it...

heh, if we ever get the chance... we'd like to fly a CRJ700 without having to play FSX... but maybe in the future...

for now on, just the FSX CRJ...

[CanadianOutdoors]

I am becoming a bush pilot, it has always been my career of choice. I love the DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver.

[beestube76]

Great Video! Great Music! thanks for sharing!

[FFTVAviation]

The opening shot sold it to me. Awesome and really interesting video. It must have been a fantastic experience.

[andreslion40]

[SDDrewGS4]

[andymanberge]

this is great!!

[mcgrawtim123]

I worked on these planes for 25 years. Great aircraft...but pilots...give me a break...my best friends, but they're not gods. It's a team effort. and don't be counting on some kinda dream life flying or working on these machines...well, that's been my experience. tjm

[belanger20]

What the dream life!!!

[kkdnk]

Love these videos, this is about the 4th time watching them. Its time to add more!! You've surely had more adventures since the last one??

Kelly in Phoenix

[75Stewy]

This is one of the best Video's on You Tube! I have watched all 3 several times. Am working on completing my licence, and have already bought a piper colt. Can't wait to take it up north this summer. Thanks for the inspiration!

[beartrapp01]

Damn..You took my dream right out of my head and put it on video. Great Job!

[raybanman]

Hey, is that a former Manitoba Gvt Machine? I've flown OEE (Turbo) and its painted in the same colors.

[FloatFlyer91]

just wondering what your final goal would be as pilot? Are you Building time to get up to the airlines? just wondering becasue i have my PPL in canada and would like to attend an avaition management coarse.

[veldman37]

Workin' towards airlines now, but who knows where I may end up. Went to Confederation College myself; great place.

[alexeddy]

[jeangags]

[galaxyquest032261]

I've viewed all three of your videos and have enjoyed each of them. You are a very fortunate young man. Your doing a job that I can only dream of. I wish you good luck and prosperity. Vince

[pedrofish]

[Sprotsmanflyer]

Watching your videos over and over make this winter somewhat more bearable. Can't wait to get my floats wait. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[mcgrawtim123]

[Geistero]

Old good nice wild life...:)

[daveschigol]

[ptairco]

And they pay you for this??

[sleemanj]

Goddam, float flying a beaver a way out in the wop wops. Nothing finer. You got it good! Great shot at the end, what a throaty growl, I can almost smell it.

[PICLex]

Excellent videos man!

Just got my float endorsement in Manitoba, this is what its all about.
