- Experience the serene beauty of a golden morning at Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, where the skies come alive with the majestic dance of seaplanes. In this captivating footage from March 9th, you'll witness a Harbour Air De Havilland Otter and a Beaver take off together, followed by the graceful landings of two more Beavers. The highlight of the video features my favorite Beaver, C-FFHA, making an unforgettable landing and taxiing to the dock. Cherish these moments as some of the last recorded of C-FFHA before its unfortunate accident in June. Immerse yourself in the magic of this golden hour tribute to these incredible aircraft!
Welcome to the lounge at Vancouver Harbour in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Before we embark on this tribute adventure, it's important to acknowledge that I filmed this aerial spectacle within the shared, unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We express our heartfelt gratitude to these Indigenous communities for their enduring stewardship of the land.

Reminds me of moving west for the last time in '78, so grateful to see mid Feb weather,,,
@als1023, I hope for the same, I'm hopeful they can make FFHA fly again, fingers crossed. I couldn't agree more, Vancouver is a beautiful place on a sunny Spring day. Thanks for your kind engagement and support, I am truly grateful. Best....Corrie

Howdy!
@flyovercounty1427, thanks for visiting the lounge. I am truly grateful for your kind words and support, thank you. Best…Corrie
The Beaver taxiing round in circles looked as though it was lost. I guess the pilot was waiting for the T's and P's tio climb into the green. The Gulf Island Beaver is 76 this year. A year younger than me.
@mothmagic1, the little Beaver was doing a "harbour dance"...lol. Ian, I can well imagine that you look as great as the Gulf Island Beaver, it's all about maintenance and regular check ups. So grateful you are on this journey with me, thanks for your always kind engagement and support. Best...Corrie
Hi Corrie, I guess a lot of people (incl. me !) are with you on the thoughts about the incident with C-FFHA.
@dragonfly7, I hope it doesn’t take too long to come to a conclusion, time will tell. Grateful for your engagement and support, thank you. Best…Corrie
Yes i think it's best left to the AAIB. Their findings will be released in due course. I'm sure they will waste no time getting her back in the air as soon as they can. They can't begin until the airframe is released by the TSB (sorry I called it the AAIB )) that's what it is called in UK and I didn't know what the Canadian equivalent is.
@mothmagic1, I have my theory, but will await the actual findings from the TSB. Best...Corrie
Hey corrie harbour air now has 4 Twin otters in service the newest one is painted in the canadian flag and is C-FDYL it was wrecked in Malaysia in 1998 and was transported to rautol Kansas where it remained until 2020 when it was sold to regent aircraft services who then started to rebuild it in late 2023 and then harbour air then purchased it and it entered service TODAY on Canada Day
@chrisotto6421, thanks so much for sharing this exciting information! I will look for her next time I go to the harbour to film, I can't wait to see her. I am curious if Harbour Air will paint another Beaver too? I am truly grateful for your knowledge, engagement and support, thank you. Best....Corrie
Beautiful landing at 10:45. That pilot that landed that plane has done that maneuver many many times. 😊
@hamradio3716, thanks for your kind words and support, I am truly grateful. I would call that landing "poetry in motion". Best....Corrie
Do you have your phone on a stick or tripod? I wouldn’t be able to zoom in and out without keeping the phone steady like you.
@Dave_In_Boston, all of my seaplane videos are done with my camera in my hand as steady as I can hold it and I zoom with my thumbs. I have a great little DJI gimbal, but it doesn’t move quite quick enough at full zoom. The gimbal is great for walking shots but I rarely use it. Thanks for your kind engagement and support, I am truly grateful. Best…Corrie
