Fool's Errand - An Alaska Flying Film

Adventure is not necessarily found in success, but rather in the salvage of a failure. When nature shuts the door, go home and eat some beef.
The best pilot buddy film of 2019 has been a full year in the making - not because it's good but because it was never meant to be. We hardly shot any footage, but it has somehow accidentally become an actual story of Alaskan perseverance in landing somewhere...anywhere.

This is the content that we so desperately need; no story line, no hidden agendas, no real purpose other than two dudes having fun in the most beautiful places on earth. Magnificent work Gents!

@jeffcardillo Год назад

And no product placement / sponsors all over the place. Loved it!

Absolutely brilliant! The best "and then nothing happened" film I have seen for a long time! Love the narrator comments!

This reminds me of my 3.5 hr flight last weekend, eventually ending up in a small town with a nearby Wells Fargo, as I needed to make a bank deposit and get a cup of coffee. The airplane came in handy, it saved me driving into town to the local Wells, on a day off, 20 minutes away. Makes sense to me.

Some of your best work, Zane, although my favorite short is still the Texas STOL competition and flying with Scallywag. Of course, I'm a Texas boy and pilot and I can relate so closely with all that film conveys. Nice job, as usual. I very much enjoy your efforts, not only to capture adventurous aviation, but the brotherhood that goes along with it. Thanks!

@Keys879 4 года назад

5 Mile gravel? That's like 26,000 foot runway! Insane! You can't jockey up that one! You could float for a whole 10,000ft runway and still have room. GEEEEEEZE!

@BackcountryPilot 4 года назад

Haha. I think Matt was being a little generous with the dimensions. It's really big though, which makes it fun for practice.

@akschu1 4 года назад

Yes, those are Alaska miles. Given that the fun stuff is 800ft or shorter, Willow at 4400 ft is at least 2 times bigger than it needs to be.
