[4K] - Mind Blowing Sitka Alaska Landing - Alaska Airlines - Boeing 737-800 - N526AS - SCS Ep. 964 

I agree haha. This is my favorite landing. That I've ever been on! And that's saying a lot, because I've landed in some pretty awesome, beautiful, and cool places.

One of my all time favorite approaches and airport to fly into. Love Sitka! Thanks for watching my friend!

Yeah, that would be a bit unnerving wouldn't it haha?

Indeed it is! Although I've been to Alaska many times now to film for the channel, I've never taken a cruise up there. I'd love to do that someday !

@@sla31 It was so amazing! We went to (Sitka, Juneau, Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), and Ketchikan) We also went through Endicott Arm where there are a bunch of glaciers! Highly recommend!!

I agree 100%. Only... In my life haha.

Thanks my friend. We had a nice 4th! I hope you had a good one too!

@@sla31 Thank you!! Yes, it was nice here. Some fireworks as I saw from my window.

Thanks my friend. This is my favorite landing. Of all the landings I've been on and filmed, this one takes the cake. I'm glad you enjoyed it too!

@sla31 Yes I absolutely loved it! So relaxing and exciting all in the same breath! But then again, your videos are hands down the best on RU-vid! Keep up the great work my friend! If you ever fund your way to NAIA in Manila hahaha 😆 look me up and I'll buy you a cup if Native coffee ☕️ 😉 Been living full time in the Philippines 🇵🇭 in Bacolod City now the past years after retirement from LAPD! Stay safe young man.

@@robertalbertson889 Sounds like a plan my friend!

@sla31 ABSOLUTELY 💯 Mr friend! Catch ya later alligator after a while crocodile 🐊 🤪

I agree. Sitka is my favorite city to fly into in Alaska.

I've filmed a lot of flights and landings. This is probably my favorite. As always, thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks my friend. Plenty more on the way.

It is crazy. I'v been in Alaska on the summer solstice before, and it didn't even get dark and there was still snow on the mountains! Incredible!

I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend!

I've heard hotel availability is already low for that event!

@@sla31 We're only going to get 20% coverage in Western WA. Back in 2017, we had 91%. It was as if someone had put a huge sun glass up in the sky. The temperature literally dropped 4 or 5 degrees, felt MUCH cooler and so did the sun's rays. Yes, I did indeed take photos of this historic event. My friend and her husband went to Jackson Hole to watch the total eclipse. Looks like Dallas and Waco will get total coverage this time. And SE Missouri will have the interesting privilege of getting 100% both this time and also back in 2017. Lucky them! In any case, since you say you're not that far from Joplin, you will have much more coverage than we will in the PNW.

I know I've answered this in several other comments, but in case other people see this and want to know. Well, I certainly do get asked this a lot. And the answer is kind of complicated, but I'll try to shorten it up haha. I have several avenues I use to help cover my expenses. The ad revenues form RU-vid, my channel Patreons and members, using points & miles, and generally trying to avoid places during their peak seasons. I also do not work for the airlines, and I don't have a relative who does. So I don't fly for free. I pay for everything you see on here out of my own pocket. Now, I've run this channel by myself now for 9 years. And for the first 6 years, I didn't make a single penny. I was spending my own money, every month, just to take flights to post on here. So for the first 7 years, I spent my own disposable income on this channel. The last 2 years, it's actually changed. The channel has gotten big enough, and it generates enough watch time every month, were I typically make enough off the ad revenues to at least pay for all of my flights. Some months I even make a little extra. So now, after pumping literally thousands and thousands of dollars per year into it, it's finally starting to pay me back. Broken down a bit father, the main income I get is the ad revenues from RU-vid, and it's not even close. That's easily the biggest income I have every month. Then I also have roughly 60 channel members and Patreons that also contribute small amounts per month to help ensure I can continue to make new content. I also then do some freelance video creating and article writing for aviation websites that also help me pay the bills. And that's how I pay for stuff now.

@@sla31 Thanks for the detailed reply. Great work!

I'd say, that given the genetics of your mother and father, you're exactly as tall as you should lie.
