-----------------------------------------------
The big 'pilot episode' of the Angle of Attack Show. Yes, pun intended.
Alaska is full of adventure and wonder. Those who live here know that adventure can happen not too far away from home. This land is still vastly wild and untamed.
Today we have a mission -- bears. While the title says Grizzly bears, they're technically Coastal Brown Bears. Are they still huge, scary, and dangerous? Absolutely. But even bears get a bad name, as these creatures are not totally unlike us.
Just on the other side of the Cook Inlet, a short flight from Homer, Alaska where Angle of Attack is based, there is world class bear viewing. People travel to Homer in droves to take an airplane over to this wild land. It's literally a 30 minute flight, and you're suddenly in a world that is very different.
Chelsea and I were joined by Patrick Carter of nFlightCam. He's an experienced aviator, having flown for Cessna, aerobatics and aerial tours in Denali National Park, just to name a few.
Patrick is the caretaker of a Cessna 185. This is a really capable airplane, but the one trouble we have is that it doesn't have bush wheels. That means our landing surfaces are limited. Since our plan was to land on a beach, we had to be very careful.
Turns out we ended up getting stuck on the beach, and had to drag ourselves out of it.
Eventually it all worked out, and we were able to head out to see the bears.
Well, it didn't disappoint. On the video itself can do a justice.
We hope you enjoy this episode!

Really, Really good stuff Chris! Love the graphic treatment of the intro sequence - you have a very distinct style.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Thanks, Steve. Means a lot coming from you.

@kingfetty3075 7 лет назад

What software do you guys use?

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

I'm using Adobe (Premiere and After Effects) but I may start playing with Final Cut soon. Because that's what awesome guys like FlightChops use.

@conradclipper 4 года назад

Love how supportive you are Steve. And Chris, another beautiful video, sorry I only just got to it now.

@notyou9688 4 года назад

The word of the day! WOW! Chris, thanks, that was so fun riding along with you guys on this flight. I have more to say but have to take off right now so I will get back to you. Thanks again. This really made my day. Cheers from So Cal

@angleofattack 4 года назад

Really glad you enjoyed it. Always love when I can make someone's day!

@larsjohannesson398 8 месяцев назад

That was really wonderful, and beautifully done. Thank you!

@uralbob1 2 года назад

I really loved your video. Very sweet couple and beautiful photography. A thoughtful production with enchanting music! Thanks sincerely.

@dgroni7714 5 лет назад

Chris, as a pilot I love watching your videos but I also love the bear watching. I’m also 58 years old and probably old enough to be yours and your wife’s father so I can say this. Your wife is a good person and a great mate for what u guys do. She’s a true champ. Throttle on 😀

@angleofattack 5 лет назад

Dgroni I 100% agree. She’s the star of the show and always up for an awesome adventure!

@stephenweisberg1601 5 лет назад

Hey

@9111logic 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing this most exiting adventure Chris and a big thanks to Patrick too for using all of his skills in getting there and back safely. We all continue to follow your magic and irreplaceable courses.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Thanks so much! It's only the beginning!

@joseesteva2043 7 лет назад

It's amazing how far our soul can get on board a plane. Thank you for sharing this adventure with others!

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

You're very welcome!

@HiddenValleyHomestead 4 года назад

Love this. My son Nathan Palmer is in pilot school right now! Totally binge watching yall!

@StraightTail56 Год назад

Been watching your newer videos. It was cool to see this older video. Great video

@crew-rest 6 лет назад

This is definitely one of the most beautiful and complete aviation videos I've ever seen. Wonderful serenity with breath taking scenery, good vibes and professional interest. Thank you for sharing.

@angleofattack 6 лет назад

Thank you! Hope you had a chance to watch the other videos as well?

@crew-rest 6 лет назад

Angle of Attack I have. Stunning. An awesome way of life. Enjoyed every single one of them a great deal. Hope you are doing well in your commercial training!

@angleofattack 6 лет назад

Etai Charit Commercial training is long over. Just getting through the old footage and doing these videos. Glad you’re enjoying it!

@JasonMcLemore 7 лет назад

I never get tired of seeing footage of flying in Alaska. Love it Chris! Can't wait to see more.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Thanks, Jason!

@Pilotc180 2 года назад

Why the little standard tires on the 185 ? Looks like its based in LA not Fairbanks; those “toy tires” are worthless in Alaska; no wonder you got stuck on the beach-

@earlpuppy 4 года назад

Good video. A sow with cubs does not pose a threat. You pointed out that they are not unlike you. They appear so peaceful. No threat. No threat at all. /s

@angleofattack 4 года назад

The Sow does if you come between her and the cubs.

@earlpuppy 4 года назад

Angle of Attack I'm sorry. The "/s" was meant to indicate sarcasm. You don't have to go as far as to come between a sow and her cubs. Momma bears are unpredictable. They are not lovable teddy bears. Granted these bears may be well accustomed to the presence of humans but that is more the reason to steer well clear. Again, sorry to have to disagree. Being raised around wildlife I have a great love and appreciation for them. Young animals suffer greatly when the mother gets killed. You would have to shoot her if she decided you were a threat. Steer well clear.

@ioderov 6 лет назад

That's a kind of a story I would love to get through. Thanks for sharing guys

@jamesoren7238 7 лет назад

Oh man, how weird is it seeing you on youtube after listening to you on trains and in planes for so long?? I'm so happy for you with your new rating and channel. Alaska is even more beautiful than it has been in my head all this time!

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Happy to be here! And I hope to offer more here in the near future. Nice to put a name to a face, eh?

@FlyingArchitect 4 года назад

Great video. I just found your channel. thanks!

@angleofattack 4 года назад

Great to have you!

@signmanbob3834 7 лет назад

Hello Chris, this is signmanbob. I'm glad to see that you are starting to make videos of your adventures. I loved watching it. This video was absolutely a pleasure to watch! I have been a fan of yours for years, and this video, with your narration is no disappointment. I'm sorry to see that your lovely wife reconstituted her lunch, but I'm sure the adventure far outweighed the discomfort. She looks so sweet. God bless you brother, and I hope you decide to make many more videos like this. I'll be looking for them.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

signman Bob many for to come! And so great to hear from you! Thanks for the kind words.

@Horace269 7 лет назад

Awesome Chris!! Brings back a lot of memories! Alaska absolutely rocks. Thanks!

@manuelsantana8183 7 лет назад

@MichaelLloyd 5 лет назад

Wow. Episode 1? And it's that good? Loved the whole video but your wife cracked me up - "Anybody want some smoothie" I felt bad for her but really liked her sense of humor.

@michaelrosebud 6 лет назад

Great commentary & narrating Chris on a beautiful place and my favorite thing to do, FLYING. I got my Private ticket in 1978, (here in Maine) flew 150, 152, 172 Cessna Skyhawk, and fell in love with and owned a 1946 Taylorcraft BC-12-D (N95040) with a 65 horse Continental. I never had so much fun in my life. I remember with a strong headwind, literally flying backwards. Keep up the great work, Chris and I am looking forward to more great adventures. At 73, I sure miss the freedom of flight....BUT, who knows, maybe I'll win the lottery and buy a new Super Cub on floats lol. The best Chris, and don't forget the Carburetor heat....lol

@angleofattack 6 лет назад

Great to hear from a fellow aviator, Mike! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video and it brought back some memories. You no doubt have some good stories! I'd also have to fly in Maine sometime. It looks like beautiful country!

@conradclipper 4 года назад

5:40 So good to hear any pilot say what you're about to say here.

@angleofattack 4 года назад

This was when I was pretty new to flying in the area, and I've just taken it one step at a time.

@troyottosen8722 4 года назад

Angle, how ironic! I was lucky enough to fly with k2 original owner, Jim okenek out of Talkeetna, and do a ski land in the Ruth gorge by Don sheldons cabin! Something I will always cherish! Just another day in my awesome Alaska!!!

@angleofattack 4 года назад

I know the current owners! They talked about him. Cool stuff!

@troyottosen8722 4 года назад

Jim and his wife were great people! I will never forget sitting on chairs next to his 185 on skis on the Ruth glacier staring at the south face on Denali watching massive avalanches coming down its south flank and not hearing the sound of it until about 20 seconds or so because the gorge is so dam big! Then flying out and seeing the climbers that looked like ants!!!

@MrMontanaNights 7 лет назад

Awesome episode Chris, can't wait to see what's next! Keep up the great work- safe flying! :)

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

More to come, for sure!

@grumpyoldman3812 7 лет назад

Absolutely Gorgeous landscape and wildlife! You are so lucky to be able to fly there. And congrats on the new show! Keep 'em coming!

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Yeah, I feel really blessed for sure. Thanks for the congrats! A few new episodes are available if you haven't seen them yet.

@jstegman 7 лет назад

I had no idea Alaska had a series like this! Grats on the first episode

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Well it does now! Thanks!

@TheMrskydog 4 года назад

Nice video and cool camera angles. @ 8:20 I can see the young passenger in the back seat putting her head down and making that smoothie she mentioned 😅 poor girl. Hope she felt better.

@davidtaylor5007 6 лет назад

Chelsea is a trooper! I've been motion-sick a couple times in my life and all I wanted was a bucket, a couple of warm blankets, and for it all to be better when I woke up! Maybe it was the editing or she just dealt with it and was better afterwords. Beautiful video!

@angleofattack 6 лет назад

She deals with it awesome. She's a trooper. And she usually feels better after she gets it up. For the most part she holds it together well, and really does stay positive. She's super fun to bring along (as you can see in other videos)

7 лет назад

Long time fan of Angle of Attack. Great show! I loved every second of it.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Always great to see you around! Glad you're liking the new stuff.

@suforososud 7 лет назад

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Muito Obrigado!

@brianwhite455 6 лет назад

Wow, what an incredible story. I've been listening to you podcast, and your last episode directed me to your RU-vid channel. I stumbled upon this gem and I am blown away. That really is the most beautiful place on Earth, and I now know that I have to one day be there, even if just for a day. Thank you for sharing.

@angleofattack 6 лет назад

Would love to fly with you when you do come up here.

@toddschmidt5703 7 лет назад

Nice video. Surprised to see that many bears this early in the season in 'nitna! If you ever head to Lake Clark again and it's a smooth day, head around the back side of Iliamna and there is an absolutely gorgeous valley you can fly through that dumps right into the head of Chinitna Bay. I never got sick of it. I would highly recommend a trip to Katmai to check out the beaches and bears there, too! Much better in every way in my opinion, but it's a bit more of a hike from Homer.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Will do! Thanks for the tip. And this actually happened LAST year.

@MJLeger-yj1ww 6 лет назад

That was awesome Chris. From watching your videos, I really want to visit Alaska now. I know that I will never be able to get to places as you do, but I still want to visit. I REALLY appreciate the music in your videos too. Thank you.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Well if you do end up visiting, let's spend an hour or two and go flying. I'll take care of the rest, and you can get a little taste for what it's like to fly here!

@granskare 6 лет назад

I recall a video of 2 guys flying in the Colorado mts, recorded from inside the plane.

@smaze1782 7 лет назад

Awesome video man. If I could make a suggestion. If you have a passenger who's airsick, have them sit up front and help you fly the plane. It will take their minds off of it. This has worked multiple times for me.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

In most cases that would work, however, Patrick and I needed to be up front for this flight. But you're totally right -- the extra vision helps with sickness.

@sellakc 7 лет назад

Fantastic video! I'm a podcast listener, but this is phenomenal!

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Kenneth Sellars thanks, Kenneth.

@KarlH1980 7 лет назад

Chelsea, I had some mild issues the first few times I spent time in small aircraft. Anti-nausea meds at the store are basically super high concentration sugar/high fructose corn syrup. I found for me a 3 Muskateers candy bar did the trick. Zofran is also an option. It is a med you can get from a doc that is safe and doesn't have the drowsiness side effect like others of its kind. It's a "Wow" medication.

@thefearlesspursuitoffreedom 2 года назад

Did you make it back out and finally land near the fossils?

@Pete.Nicholson 7 лет назад

Great video! Will definitely show this to our pilots in our Virtual Airline - Alaskair Virtual.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Thanks! Hopefully they enjoy it as well.

@PaulAnthonyDuttonUk 5 лет назад

If someone who suffers travel sickness wears a cumberbund or a tight towel around the mid-drift it will hold the stomach in place and stops the humpback bridge feeling. Helps sickness massively.

@garrycompton7214 4 года назад

There was an Indian pilot guide { Ed } from Wasilla who used to fly out of Big Lake , Ak, in the 70s , 80s etc and he made the mistake of loading a moose in his 170 cessna B model at night , so he could get an early start back home in the morning. Mr. Grizzly bear , at night had a different idea. By the time Ed got to his plane , the big brown bear had destroyed the center fuselage and the 170 was hinged in the middle - lol Ed , the Alaskan he was used some black spruce poles to mend the fuselage and tail feather cables - and flew it back home. Ed told me that he learned his lesson on loading any meat in the plane , until - take off . I flew a 170 also.

@jockinafrock 7 лет назад

what a great video. You are very lucky to do some low-n-slow flying in such a beautiful country. The nearest I will get is FSX, so you've inspired me to do some flights in Alaska now instead of pushing heavy metal around Europe.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

There is some decent scenery for FSX. I helped create the ORBX PAHO scenery with local photography.

@richboy2307 7 лет назад

Great new series! Cant wait for more :)

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

A couple more are available now :)

@daveoberg6985 6 лет назад

Great video and commentary, but a couple of suggestions. You obviously discovered why you don't land, or even taxi fast, high on the beach. A couple of 206's went up on their noses right there doing what you did, so you lucked out. I'd advise talking to the guys who do this for a living so you don't have to learn the hard way. There are quite a number of them in Homer. FYI, there are NO villages anywhere that you can drive to from that beach - the vehicle tracks are from the van the lodge uses to transport their clients up and down the beach. By the way, 8.50's are fine on that beach as long as you land where it's hard.

@angleofattack 6 лет назад

Yup. A lot of lessons learned here. It was a steep learning curve after this. We got really connected with the community and found out a lot more about these areas. The locals are all for sharing their tricks of the trade. I was around when those 206s nosed over. Bad news bears.

@IanHoyt 7 лет назад

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

We kind of are in the professional movie business, just not really stuff you see publicly that often. Or at least our name isn't slathered all over it. We mostly use Adobe products to put together our material. Great hearing from you, Tom!

Got 9712 hours in B1-B. On nuclear alert mostly until the towers came down. But I have a ton of respect for S.E.L. with tundra tires or S.E.S. amphibious floats. Stay safe I just bought a Katana Da-62 Super Twin Star but it's a concrete only plane. God Bless have fun...

@LeeSG35 7 лет назад

Please, please get yourself some tundra tires. Painful to watch and wonder if you're going to get it out.

@mikehubbard5493 6 лет назад

Sometimes ya gotta deal with what you got. A little rough landing, or deal with bad weather. It sorta a split decision. I'd rather land, and make camp.

@angleofattack 6 лет назад

True, true.

@catstrator 7 лет назад

Mike sent me here. Great video!

@sendaero 7 лет назад

yay i brought one!

@primesspct2 6 лет назад

wow!

@Flightstar 7 лет назад

First off, stiff winds off a large body of water are generally smooth and steady and can be used at a great advantage, when you can find a landing area that is closely oriented to them. 2nd Landing on sketchy surfaces in a heavy.. (relatively) airplane, with those tires is a crap shoot and puts you and your px at a high a risk for disaster. Go to at least 8:50's, but if your serious about this type of flying for a life, get proper bush wheels, They are worth every penny in assurance and will expand the capabilities of you and your aircraft.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Those were 8.50s. And yeah, we learned a ton of lessons from this trip. That isn't that type of landing I would attempt, but Patrick is a very, very experienced pilot (former Cessna test pilot, etc). Again, lots of lessons learned.

@Flightstar 7 лет назад

Wow, those 8.50 look like shopping cart wheels on that plane. Maybe my screen setting is messed up. Anyway, Alaska looks like a hell of a fun place to fly.

@thomasjefferson4492 6 лет назад

WHY were you NOT in a float plane??the wheels are to small,the mud is to deep and water everywhere?????????

@daveoberg6985 6 лет назад

The bay they went to is not floatplane friendly. It is very shallow, and if the tide is out it is almost dry. If the plane goes dry while bearwatching you get to wait 6 hours for it to float again.

@toadflax636 3 года назад

Get some 8.50s. You will be happier.

@in2flying 7 лет назад

Chris I was honestly getting frustrated with your podcast and I'm super glad I stopped bye and watched. Like Steve said you have a very distinct style and I'm very impressed! I think video editing is as difficult as learning to fly lol Your wife is adorable, and the music was really well done . Personally I think the life vests should have been worn before crossing, but that's just me. God Bless and I'll be waiting for the next vid.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Thanks for the thoughts. These things can glide quite a ways, so the life vests were probably fine. When I'm operating closer to water, like shoreline type stuff, I certainly keep it on. Always a must for any floatplane. Glad you're no longer frustrated!

@in2flying 7 лет назад

I'll reach out privately regarding the pod cast. Looking forward to more videos.

@angleofattack 7 лет назад

Cool. me@aviatorcast.com. Thanks.

@espr7564 4 года назад

Shotgun, are you kidding? You wouldn't need to kill any animals if you weren't annoying them 👎

@dgrantgibson 6 лет назад

As an aviation safety advocate I am pretty dismayed at this video. Passengers were not briefed before t/o about floatations devices before crossing open water. Wrong sized tires, looks like 800's vs. minimum 850's for beach landings. The list goes on. Please do not promote this like it is fun and safe. I have flown over 40 years and none of the above apply. The sad part is FAA will get involved after an accident, not before. I would never allow any of my family to fly with anyone operating this way. Please start using safety first. You are doing a disservice to vacationers desiring to go out and have some fun in Alaska. Don't make it their last.

@angleofattack 6 лет назад

Grant, you're not God's gift to the earth. Regardless of what you think, we're safe pilots. Exploring the limits of aviation can be done with a lot of caution, and we took plenty here. These were 850s on the beach. Anyway, I don't know what being a 'safety advocate' means, but we're all advocates of and practice safety constantly. Being a Monday Morning Quarterback doesn't help anyone.

@jamesward6503 5 лет назад

My two cents: You need to be wearing the vest un-inflated too egress out of the aircraft. Whatever you want to make the beach with you needs to be on you. Have a plan on getting out the raft, if you lucky. Brief passengers on upside down /right side up High wing/Low wing.Summer time you need fire starter, winter your lucky too make the beach even if your close. Climb high for crossing, gliding distance for paralleling the beach. What ever else you can think of ie. Waterproof Grab Bag with survival gear, ELT ,Sat Phone, Spot,Handheld Radio. Minimize the risks as much as possible. Bush wheels are great but Knowing the beaches is more critical, such as soft/hard areas, wet/dry, rocks, logs,holes, tides, length/slope,winds ect.. Some of the wet hard pack sand can be like cement and some of it can be like quicksand. You can always drag the beach and come back and check the tracks.
