I’ve taken a ton of unique and interesting flights over the years, but I don’t think any of them are as cool as this one! On top of the sheer awesomeness of this flight, it was also easily the most challenging flight I’ve ever filmed... Both physically and logistically. I filmed this in January, in the dead of winter, in one of the coldest places on Earth. The temperatures at the landing site, which was inside the Arctic Circle, were at or below -30F and the wind chill made the “feels like” temperature closer to -70F. Frankly, it’s amazing my cameras worked in those conditions... It’s even more amazing my hands continued working the whole time 😂. I was kitted out in full “polar” gear and the cold was still cutting through it like nothing. So please show this video some love! Also, due to the aircraft being in a cargo configuration, and there not being seats installed in the front of the aircraft, this is one of those very rare occasions where I used a mount to film a flight. It was not physically possible for me to hold the camera where it was positioned on this flight. I think it turned out pretty well for being filmed on a mount! Anyway, enjoy!
Another great video Skylite! Thank you for braving the cold with us and capturing some great content!.... Next time... Let's think about summer and float planes ;)
I seriously just needed to see this and clicked on it right away when I saw the notification! This is probably (if not), the coolest and best flights you ever recorded in history! You can never beat the amazing views of the Artic Circle and the surrounding mountains and snowy weather! The Dash 7, omg, the best and most beautiful aircraft ever made. It’s unique sound, it’s cockpit design and everything itself is amazing. I’m gonna keep watching this video to the end! Definitely not skipping this one! ☝️ Keep up the good work Bryce! 💪
@@GarlandTexasSpotter2024 glad to hear it my friend. Of course, I wish the weather had been better not this particular day, but what are you going to do? That's Northern Canada in January haha.
I always thought to myself that you show way to many videos showing flights to, from and within Hawaii......I don't feel that way any more. You are more than welcome to show as many Hawaii videos that you can. This one was hard to describe....incredible. And.....thanks for showing the shots of downtown Yellowknife....I had no idea what a neat town it is. Well done.
Thanks my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. It certainly required a lot more effort to make than my Hawaii videos, that's for sure haha. If only there was more variety in Hawaii. I do have a mother Hawaii trip coming up soon, so don't worry, there's plenty more from Hawaii on the way 😂. You know what has also happened that causes me to be in Hawaii a lot, despite it just being awesome? I have A-list status on Southwest, which requires flying at least 20 one way trips. The word "trips" is important because that means each one way direction. So a trip with a connection or stop-over still only counts as one. Well, Southwest Hawaiian island hopping is how I maintain that status now. And I can do it for WAY cheaper by doing it in Hawaii than I can anywhere else, or on any other airline for that matter. So here's what I do. I have a Sam's Club membership and once or twice a year they will have a door buster deal for a $500 Southwest gif card for $420. I'll then buy one of those, and book 10 individual one way segments in Hawaii for $49 each, and I'll fly out there to get beautiful footage, but at the same time re-qualify for my status for as little as $840 a year. Of course, I end up spending more than that because I end up taking other flights on Southwest that cost more. But for example, this year, I really haven't flown Southwest a ton. I only have 6 one way trips on them so far this year. Which is actually kind of crazy considering how much I love Southwest, but away.. So in a couple weeks I'm literally doing what I just described above where I'll add 10 one way trips all using that one $500 gift card that I only paid $420 for. There's absolutely no way to do it for that cheap anywhere else, and the views can't be beat haha. So, I do understand the sentiment that I post a lot of Hawaii stuff, but I also think... Would people rather see that all the time, or Omaha, Nebraska 😂.
..What no one might know, is that Fokker delivered the cockpit parts including the nose to, that time, DeHaviland.. It was the developed nose for the Fokker 50.. Both planes are about the same time developed.. Only the Fokker 50 was a twin engine turbo prop and the DeHaviland Dash 7 had 4 smaller turbo prop engines..
Lovely catch!! With a blanket of snow and there you go again absolutely another spectacular beautiful stunning footage compilation and you rock it all again .. thanks again
I still feel cold when I think about it haha. You know, I live in Kansas. Certainly no the coldest place on Earth, but we get a pretty big temperature swing though the year. Up to 120F in the summers on rare occasions and down to -10F in the winter. Both of those are the extremes though and only have once or twice a year though. Like we're in a heatwave right now, but we're topping out at around 105 each day. That's more typical. But anyway, I've been in 0F to -10F plenty before. I've even worked outside in those temperatures regularly before. And I was always of the opinion that once you got down to like 10F or below it was all just really cold. Like it all really just seemed the same a that point. Boy was I wrong... There is a whole different level of cold that I experienced on this trip. It's hard to explain if you've never felt it, but the -40F with wind chills to -70F was inane. Exposed skin would literally start to freeze immediately. The moisture coming from my mouth froze instantly to my face and gear. Full on frostbite would occur to exposed skin in like 3 minutes... And even my full on polar gear, insulated boots, 3 layers of wool socks, etc. It was no match for the cold up there. Once we landed I asked the pilot if I could go out to get the exterior shots and he said... "Bryce you can go out there for as long as you want, but I guarantee you'll be back onboard very soon..." He was right. With only my eyes exposed I was still more cold than I've ever been in my life. I lasted like 3 minutes outside haha.
WOWOWOWWOW!!!! I was watching one of the Saw movies and now, I'm watching your latest video. How was John Kramer able to recruit so many accomplices????? How were they able to build all of those traps like that? You were lucky. In the Yukon, it can easily get below -50F without the wind chill and God knows what it is WITH the wind chill. You should head for Longyearbyen. They're at 78 degrees North. During December on an overcast day, you literally can't tell the difference between 12 Noon and 12 Midnight, and in June, the sun never sets at all. Or head for Franz Josef Island in Siberia. They're at 82 degree North and from the images I've seen of it, has very spectacular scenery. Or head for Yakutsk, Siberia. That's the coldest city on this planet. Or head to Quttinirpaaq National Park up on Ellesmere Island in Canada, now known by its Inuit name, Umingmak Nuna, land of the muskoxen. They're WAY up north!! Or... you could visit the East Coast of Greenland. There are expedition cruises that go there and the scenery is incredible and spectacular.
One of the challenges of filming this flight was the lighting conditions. The landing site only had roughly 3.5-4 hours of sun on the day we flew up, so it was getting dark by the time the crew unloaded the cargo and we headed back for Yellowknife. It's why this is the only flight you'll see from this day, as it was completely pitch black by the time we were back in the air. What an experience! Thanks for watching my friend!
I have not heard that. But I don't have any trips to Florida soon, so I generally don't follow any weather for down there unless I do have a trip coming up.
Hey Traveler, is this your idea of fun, reminding us to enjoy this heat, because in Canada, Winter is always not that far off ??? I think we could use a (MINUS) temperature right about now !! I know we are just a few days into August, and it is Swelteringly HOT (+30c) in Montreal. Ladies and Gentlemen, We have SYNC !! And we fell out of sync on takeoff. Booo If that plane went down out there, the polar bears would find you before the humans did !! I felt the rush of cold air across my forehead !! ha ha ha ha
Haha, yeah with the heat index for me at home today being upwards of 100F I just wanted to remember the pure cold that I encountered on this flight. In all seriousness, the crew and employees at Air Tindi were nothing but professional and up front with information about the flights and such. It was very clear that safety was their top priority. And it the weather was sub-optimal, that flight wasn't going anywhere. I never once had any hesitations or questions about safety and I would gladly board any Air Tindi flight knowing safety was paramount. That said, I'd be lying if I said the thought of the sheer magnitude of an emergency you'd be in if there was an issue didn't crossed my mind while taking these flights. It's really incredible what airlines like Air Tindi and other extreme north based airlines are capable of doing. The flying that Air Tindi and other It's truly on a whole different level to what most airlines and passengers deal with everywhere else.
That was fantastic but what makes people work and live in such extreme conditions 😮😮😮,those piolts would be very special to fly in that weather Kym Adelaide
One word.... Money. The pay for working in that harsh climate is considerable. Money can make people do a lot things they don't necessarily love Changi haha.
@@sla31 Yeh i get that my daughter is working in remote western australia in a mining town the money is fantastic but its stinking hot and in the middle of no,where,money is the best motivator 🤔🤔
That would be because of my channel here. Which sometimes people either don't realize, or forget, that it's 9 years old now. One of Air Tindi's social media professionals saw a post I made on instagram about how old aircraft are disappearing. He commented on my video simply saying that Air Tindi liked to keep old planes flying, to which I replied "how does one get on one of those old planes to film it?" And the whole thing developed form that comment haha. Ultimately though, if the channel didn't exist and I didn't make content for it, I never would've gotten this amazing opportunity.
An aircraft that was built in 1978! Speaking of 1978, was this the oldest aircraft you were on, or were there other older aircraft that you went on before?
It's definitely one of the oldest I've ever been on, but isn't at the top of the list. I believe the few that I've flown that were older are all DHC-6 Twin Otters. Including the one that I know is the oldest I've flown on, which was also operated by Air Tindi. On this same trip I flew on C-FOPN, which is a 54-year-old Twin Otter. You can find that video here: ua-cam.com/video/PFzPlN4Y1GQ/v-deo.html The other Twin Otters I've been on that were older than this Dash 7 were all operated by Winair out of SXM. At least the top 5 spots on my list of oldest are all De Havilland Canada aircraft though. I think the next one after them was a 42-year-old Cape Air Cessna C402.
An unfortunate reality of flying in the extreme north in January... But to be fair, it's just vast open tundra anyway. The star of this video is the plane.
