Have been watching Nicks geology videos for a year and have become interested in everything geological. My wife and I even flew up to eastern Washington this summer to see all the coulees, basalt, and ice age flood features. I have fallen in love with this area and the video is the icing on the cake! Hope to see more flying with “Nick on the Rock”!

Have always wanted a geologist in the passenger seat of my car to tell me about the geology of our surroundings but never thought about an air trip. This is so cool! At the end you talked about The geologist in the Grand Canyon river run, another dream of mine! Have been interested in geology all my life.

My first flight in a R22 was just the same reaction by the Pilot “Man? How much do you weigh"! He had to pitch up quite a bit more!
@FlyingMAir 5 жыл бұрын
R22s have a legal seat limit of 250 pounds (I think); it's 300 in R44s. Has to do with seat crushability in the event of a hard landing. I don't take passengers that weigh more than 275 for weight and balance issues. I'm not exactly a petite person and my weight up front counts, too.
@vnigallahoir3523 4 жыл бұрын
I was sitting in my living room watching other R44 content, and thought, "Oh shit a helicopter would be so rad for geology! I'd love to get Nick Zeitner up in a helicopter." As a fan of both of your content I put two and two together and though that would be a really cool cross over. *And it was already here.*

That was an amazing explaination of the ancient, county sized, landslide and then you mentioning changes you'd seen within the last 2 years really fired up his interest levels shows you have much to teach HIM too.. Brilliant video as per normal and it will give you more information to pass on during other such flying videos to come..

I live near Dartmoor in the UK and it’s astonishing to think it was created by Volcanoes, as you drive towards Okehampton you can see the remnants of extinct millions of years old volcanoes. For most of its history and until recent history Dartmoor was covered in forest. The landscape for most of us is an enigma until you (excuse the pun) dig a little deeper.

Thank you very much Maria. The last video you posted with the repellers, I was looking at Stemilt thinking that was one hell of a slide some time. I have walked and driven over much of that slide area and Maria you actually live on a portion of it. If you go toward Alcoa and look at Jump-off ridge you will see many small slides along that area. People who live close to the ridge there have little or no idea of what danger they could be in at any moment.
@FlyingMAir 5 жыл бұрын
The only kind of slides we have here are occasional rock slides usually caused by bighorn sheep on the cliffs. Small cascades of small rocks. The earth is solid along most of my road. The only exception is far removed from the cliffs, as you’ll see in the next video.
@rayc.1396 5 жыл бұрын
@@FlyingMAir I remember back in the late 80's when a trailer was covered and a child lost along 97A, yes this was due to excavation, but it happened, then there is the mass slide that happened on the coast some years back that was a result of excess rain fall. I have a friends who live at the the base of Jump-off ridge and have boulders in there backyards on occasion. These slides do happen, as is evidence by the slide that created Stimilt. It may not happen in our life time, but it happened before and will again. There is a huge outcrop along 97A that is told in the Indian lore that is the result of an earthquake many years ago, it pushed the land mass into the Columbia river, you can see it on any map, the highway makes a large curve around that point of land. Just because we don't see them as catastrophic now doesn't mean it won't happen at any time. Ground is never completely solid if it is on an incline, Jump[-off ridge is an incline, a very steep incline in many places. Look across the river to Badger Mountain, the flat below where Fancher Field is now came from some where, part of it has to do with the river eons ago, but well drillers talk about some of the debris they find many hundreds of feet down.
