Déjà Vu, Alaska - A Flying Short Film

Our simple but sacred tradition of making a short trip into the Alaska backcountry in early May continues... While we're at it, we join some local Cub drivers on the Knik river bars, fly some Cessnas into the Alaska range, and seek out some new spots to play. Just like last time, kinda. It all felt familiar, while it was happening. Maybe because... 170s in the Wrangells? • 170s in the Wrangells

I love the "hasn't been painted or washed since 1955" look of that 170. Something about it just really cool!

I love seeing these older planes that are still to this day the best for that type of flying and still being maintained and used for what they were meant for..

17 years in Alaska, I would like to start my passion in piloting, like I should of done so 12 years ago. This videos continues to give me hope that I can still do it. Thank you for a beautiful and inspiring film.

This is torture to a pilot who hasn't been able to fly recently, but I can't stop watching! The little changes in the pitch of the engine, the wobbles in the wings, the sound of the plane touching down on the gravel, the motion of the Cubs going into a steep bank right after takeoff sets off a twinge in my gut. I can feel my stomach move with the planes, hear my instructor telling me to feel the airplane move through the seat of my pants like it was just earlier today. I can feel the vibrations of the engine as the RPMs change, feel that indescribable feeling when your wheels leave the ground. My hand subconsciously tightens like I'm pulling back on the stick, my leg muscles twitch like I've got rudder pedals under my feet. I can't help but smile as each scene sends memories springing to the forefront of my mind, of good times, scary times, learning times. I yearn to actually be there, to actually feel the plane in my gut. It makes me realize that flying is really what I'm meant to be doing. It's what I love, and I can't get enough.

I've watched your previous Alaska film at least 50 times. I thought that was the coolest video on all of KZfaq. That is until I saw this one. Somehow you've raised the bar even further, and renewed my total infatuation with bush flying all over again. Phenomenal film!

When I was a kid I dreamed of flying fast jets, as a young adult I dreamed of flying big jets. Now that I'm over 50, aviation paradise is in Alaska, and you bush pilots are elected. You practice one of the 2 purest forms of aviation, the other is the one I practice: mountain gliding ... Thank you for sharing this with us, your images are absolutely superb. You have a lot of talent. Friendly greetings from France.

Low and slow love it! I especially liked the scene of the cessna holding 30 feet short of the active 2-track gravel runway(20' wide?) that was pointed at a very large immovable mountain......and that sketchy punk blue paint scheme.
