Flying in Alaska: Middle Kuskokwim
Loading...
Uploaded by born2flyalaska on Mar 11, 2010
In the spring of 2004 I strapped a video camera to the landing gear of my Cessna 182, turned it on, and took off from Aniak to wander the skies aimlessly as I usually did back then nearly everyday after work (I didn't fly for a living at the time). Many hours of footage have been reluctantly trimmed down to these 4 minutes. The area filmed is within a 50 mile radius of Aniak, and the footage includes a tour of the Russian Mountains that not many local residents even get to see, as well as the Kuskokwim and Aniak Rivers, and Whitefish Lake. These clips come from several different flights over a period of about 2 weeks. It was late spring, the country hadn't turned green yet, and the low-lying areas along the Kuskokwim River were flooded. Enjoy!

Hey, I was born and raised in Sleetmute. Nice footage. Actually, any chance I could use it, and put a song of mine over it called, "Alaska, Dear I'm Comin' Home"? I couldn't pay you but I would credit your name and it'll get some views...please contact me at emmahillband@gmail.com

Terrific. My wife and I are leaving in a couple of days from Lake Lure, NC. flying our Skylane up to Fairbanks. Your video was a real treat to whet our appetite. Thanks for your efforts.

great video....I lived in Aniak about 50 years ago. The runway was gravel and our house was left of the runway, the old F.A.A. housing

Very cool. I grew up in Aniak as well but before your time. This video is a treat. You fly right over our old house on your approach for landing (the old Albertson place). Thanks for posting this. Scott Hurlbert
