Tulare Lake Disappearing Again? Update 16 March 2024 

Got to love those newfangled voice-activated auto pilots that enable you to admire the view :)

Thank you for showing what our tv news does not. They sometimes seem to be forced to say something about the lake, but its eather so much water that this lake is full and no photos or just the opposite in that its draining and almost gone. Once in awhile a youtuber on a motorcycle will rid over and give a report from the road but this is like looking trough a straw and perspective is lacking. This video is proof positive that the lake still lives and maybe can grow if we get an unexpected heat wave. Love your flying videos and your keeping us updated with Orville. 👍

just gotta say, the 310 is absolutely stunning in that paint scheme

I had a B model 310 for nine years. Loved it. Traded up to an R model. We had it eighteen years. GREAT airplane. Watch out for the cable system for prop, throttle and mixture. It looks like 1/4” tubing (with the push/pull cable inside) but it is not. The tubing and fittings are made of unobtanium. There is an STC to convert to modern cables.

Juan I love the 310 sounds

I worked on a part of Boswell farm in 2008 for John Deere Experimental. I lived in Tulare

Always a good day when Harvey takes us aloft.

Love the 310 -- Auto Pilot needs a shave.

Good news. Because in the Alps mountains in Europe, this was the hotest winter I have ever seen in more thann50 years. I used to ski in a area where for the first time there wasn’t any snow at all in February. The snow limit was at about 1900m altitude which is about 1000m more than it was 40 years ago, so about +6,5 celcius more.

Great name and Tail Art on Harvey!!

Damn, that 310 is a sexy beast! 🥰🥰

The engines sound smooth and crispy.

I wondered what that looked like the other day.. Thanks Juan!! 👍

Love seeing Harvey. Purring sweet too.

Thanks for your video. It looks like Boswells will be able to plant lots of acreage this year on the dried out ground.

Thank you Capt. Browne. How much snow hit the homestead couple weeks ago.

JB it's nice to see you paying it forward - great job!

Man Harvey sounds sweet!

Thanks, a wonderful aerial situation report. Love it!☮️

man those engines sure are tuned and balanced sounding great.

Listen to those engines purrrrring!

What a great view and the autopilot works very nicely. Thank you for showing the rough shape of the lake. Nature will prevail as always. Cheers

Hello Juan. Thank you for this update and the information you show and teach us. By the way, did you know that in Catalonia, Spain, we've been following a three year huge drough? It doesn't rain as much as we need and as much as we wished... The Catalan Government, finally had taken some action but it's not enough and didn't aproved the budget for water management and this year's budget due to the lack of support from the "Parlament". Very misleading and very deceiving... We have our réservoirs almost empty and they're paying ships filled with sweet water from Valencia within water restrictions. In Tarragona area, we are a bit luckier: we have transferrer water from the Ebro river since years. If you have time and if you feel like, you could make an update on that. If not, just enjoy with planes.

Tip tanks look so cool

I thought Juan was flying the plane and using his cell. Nope. Always a professional. Maybe scud running a little bit on occasion (but totally aware of the terrain).

👋👋👏👍🇦🇺top number mate safe flights.

You just caught them draining the lake ❗️

That airplane sounds so good!

Love if you had a tie shirt with the Picture of Harvey on the colors

"voice-actuated autopilot" ... 😆🤣

The California Department of Water Resources estimates show the southern Sierra Nevada snowpack is at 91% of average April 1 level and no new snow predicted in the next week, so it does not look like Tulare Lake will get much new water this year when the snow melts.

Yep ol Harvey is very cool!

Unfortunately that autopilot needs lunch!

VAAP ? I didn’t realize Harvey had one.

That is one sexy plane!

The real easy way to record cockpit audio is to insert your mic portion of your conventional plug-in earphone in between your ear and aviation headset , so that the recording sounds just like what your hear from your own ears ,just Make sure your headset cushions are as tight as it can

So that was Siri's little brother.

Your 310 is a beautiful airplane, thanks for sharing it with us.

I used to drive the very first Q model ever made, no Omni- vision window! Was fast!

Who new tulare had a lake . Take care 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wet here! Gulf of Mexico is full.

Sky King love it

Does it have engine synchronization or did he do a good job synchronizing the engines??

Cool plane!

Did I see you chatting with Roger Oxborrow at Estrella/Paso??????

Sky King at it again. Penny calling Flying Crown over!

Tulare Lake drying up!? Rats, I was gonna fly down there and do a few splash 'n go's!

Jaun,I'm thinking about aircraft weight before take-off, beside me is a scale to measure trucks to be at the limit on roads. Why not implement that to measure aircraft on the taxi ways?

Given all the rain California has had this year, that seems rather surprising.

Hey there wan brown.. me n many of my freinds wondering how the birdcage corsair is going at vultures row,,b great for another vid if poss b safe fly well.. craig from downunder

👍 JUAN BROWN 👍

Thx, I was wondering if the lake was still there. Will there be a super bloom again this year?

The manufactures and airliners are more concerned with DEI than safety and human life. So glad I didn't become part of what the industry has lowered itself to. I miss getting proudly aboard any Boeing airplane with total confidence.

We're at 102% snow pack in the lower Sierra. So lets see what the government does with melt.

C310 is one of my favorite general aviation planes, together with the Marchetti SF260. Maybe i'm partial to tiptanks?

Lol damn the Boswells are well known

Orange is such a nice color😅

I’d love to come fly with u sometime this summer. What make model is that u both are flying

Cool plane

Missing panel on 737 500 ?

The new AI autopilot!

I like this one: Voice-activated autopilot!

Sky King !

It will probably be mostly gone by the end of summer. The hot and very dry summer will evaporate most of it.

Do you plan to do a video on the private jet crash near Hot Springs, Va?

My guess is that a lot of the water went into the aquifer?

Good morning

Voice actuated Autopilot!!! LOL!!!!

✈️

A 2nd pilot is definitely insurance in a twin engine piston

Subtitles please Hard to hear you

Great J 😂🎉😅😮😊

Are farmers irrigating with that water?

I'm hungry for a Dreamsicle now.

Is it possible that Los Angeles is stealing the water?

You would think with all the rain you had last month that Tulare would still be full.

Boswells tomato farm? What kind of tomatoes ?

What makes the props look like they're bending 🤔

😱👽

More rain on the way

anybody watching the news today? 😅😅

Tulare Oh no Tulare Will go

But everyone knew it was gonna be a short run thing 😐

VAAP 🙂

Tulare Lake may come back in 2047

They need the POWER of Drought, for CONTROL. I won't say anymore, other than to just keep watch. They ripped out the dam up at Copco Lake, where my parents were set to finish this life- they were forced to leave when they ripped that old dam out, "for wildlife's sake". Shoulda seen the hundreds of deer, DEAD, stranded in the mud & muck of what used to be a great place to go fishing on the Kalamath, and far more than just deer. Guess they didn't really care about "wildlife" after all. Imagine that.

Dose Your auto pilot need potty breaks?

That's not a lake, it's a runoff pond.

I do not like an opinionated autopilot.

Voice activated auto pilot or ‘meat’ servo…..😀

Probably be gone by the fall.

Stop growing almond trees if you want more water . Quit blaming the fish and the governor . I’m sick of those signs about more dams . The only crop that uses more water is beef cattle

California will be going back into another drought. Water will again be precious.

Juan when are you going to cover FAA coming down on UNITED training..... Is this ED&I..... understand UAL is lowering standards below mins.... They have stated they plan on X number of woman and blacks and (anyone other than white men).... They said it (except the last part but that is what ED&I is putting race and gender ahead of competence.)

California: either complaining about too little rain or too much...

They say california not gonna be in drought in 2 years lol but i think well be in a drought sooner
