Not every body stops to look and understand the cloud "stuck" on the top of a peak like this. If you gaze at it long enough, you will realize that the mountain is "pumping" the cloud - creating the cloud in real time. As the cooler wind blows onto the peak, the moisture around the peak condenses forming the cloud. And as the air current continues to push the cloud, usually to the east, the cloud evaporates. It forms and un-forms right in front of your eyes, if you watch closely. I have a peak much like that right next to my house, and I see it quite frequently. Sometimes it will happen in reverse - the air is warmer hitting the cooler moisture on the peak - dew point is still reached, and the cloud forms and un-forms with the prevailing wind current.

My anxiety is much higher than you're flying. Incredible flying.

Yeah, so I never knew something like that was possible. Looks like about 50' for landing and 75' for takeoff. Maybe less. I'm impressed. Makes me want to do it too!

pretty cool. Thanks loads.

👍 Thank you!

I'd love the coordinates of this gravel bar so I can look it up on a map please 🙏

👍 Thank you!

Wow. Really cool. 😎👍 But in case of an engine failure… would be a shity day…

From the amount of tracks that is a popular destination!

BTW, was that a wrecked C-180/185 by the runway?

Really enjoy your movies! Keep them coming. 🙂

EZ, just have to remember that you're in a Cub. ;o)

Thanks for the view. I flew PC-12’s in Alaska in 2023, and flew past Augustine daily. I always wondered what it was like up close and on the ground.

That was AWESOME!

Thank the Lord for cameras & drones to allow us geezers (and state-side pukers) to enjoy the experiences of the Alaskan Jeep drivers' many adventures. Great times to celebrate those skillful young men who fly this State. Thanks ja3dean. Haven't enjoyed videos since I used to 'dog fight' cubs in my youth in a rented Citabria in the Kenai Mountains near Skilak.

No need for a resume, just show them the video

Epic! That's some awesome scenery!!

Sweet, Dean. Looks like someone had a little mishap on the run-up end of the strip.

Great piloting. Thanks for sharing.

And what exactly was the point of the exercise? Low on gas? Want to cast a line? Wanted to prove something? What?

Must be in Alaska.

Wow... This is a really short runway! This Cub probably pretty light and it has strong engine. A superb STOL-plane... And of course the pilot is experienced!👍

God it's Beautiful scenery up there. Incredible. If I keep watching your videos I'm going to end up canceling next years vacation to the Caribbean to come up to Alaska 😂 That is one of the most amazing views I've ever seen.

That looks like so much fun. Great scenery, great camerawork.

so beautiful

Impressive landings!

You are hired!!

Man that is beautiful up there. Amazing I can see why you do what you do. Would love to see all of that in person. I've done some crazy stuff in my life. Still don't know if I have big enough stones to do some of those landings you do my friend, but I love it none the less.

If the pilot didn't go there ahead of time in a canoe and measure that island, that was even crazier than it looked. Stunned, and glad it worked out.

Cool video. Impressive skill for sure. Just curious why besides you can would you decide to do that? Seems very risky with alot that could go wrong. Is that something you do regularly to keep your skills up just incase you need to land somewhere like that?

I forgot to add that was an awesome landing and takeoff !

Ok, I have a story. My dad flew Grumman TBMs in WW2 and also in Korean war along with Corsairs . He was given a mission to fly 2 Army covert intelligence persons into North Korea, land on the beach and pickup the 2 intel persons they were replacing. This was in the TBM. He told me this when he was in his late 80s, passed away at 98. My brother was a A4 crew chief in the 60s and informed a Marine Captain his plane needed some work, when the Captain found out who his father was he said , “ If George ---- son says I can’t take off then I won’t, as far as I’m concerned your father could walk on water” . My dad became an airlines pilot later on, when the story about Tully landing his plane on the Hudson River came out I asked my dad if that is something he could have done. Without hesitation he said, “Yeah, sure” . I believed him without doubt. 😊

That is AMAZING

Best pilots period.

Love your videos and flying. I might suggest on this one removing the name of the mine and reference to the other strip, making it much harder to figure out where it is, and therefore perhaps help preserve one of the few undisturbed old mines in the state.

Just like my uncle Chet, Sky King. Dirt roads, farm fields, you name it. Behind his on the farm, he had two airplane hangers. One for the farm plane, a Beech Bonanza. The other was a loaded out twin engine Mooney for long distance travels. Got his license at the post office in the early 1930’s. The Bonanza had roll down windows for coyote hunting. Way ahead of his time.

I could do that in my Maule. All I need is 0 degree OAT and a 30 kt headwind at sea level ;-)

Absolutely amazing videos sharing dear friend ❤️ Really enjoyed watching Super big big like thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍 See you again take care, keep intouch ❤️❤❤

Love that old Model A dump truck. My Dad had a 1929 ton and a half something like this one.

Amazing. Just amazing!

Where is the bar? All I see is the island. 😂

WHAT !!! NO TAIL HOOK

Side bar question….how are the bugs?

Another outstanding video - Thanks for taking us along. Wonderful to see an unprotected historical site unmolested by vandalism and theft. I imagine this is due to the extreme remoteness of the area that is accessible only for a few months each year by extremely skilled bush pilots.

Very cool!

He lives there now. Trade agreements with other nearby 30 foot islands are in progress.

Crazy!

Shit, a duck would have needed a longer runway than that! Fantastic work.

Had a CEO once that wanted to fly into a remote location where we were building a chemical plant and the nearest big airport was an hour's drive. The airstrip nearby was built for crop dusters. Our company pilot was a former navy fighter pilot and when I gave him the length he said, "That'll be twice as much as I'll need." I was told later that the CEO was scared to death by the landing and the takeoff.

I've recently discovered your channel. All of your flights are so scenic. Truly amazing!
