This looks like a fun trip

No idea who these guys are, but they're certainly having fun.

Re: This looks like a fun trip

A classic trip that will be remembered for years to come.

It did look like there were a few close calls landing on the sandbars, and a few segments look like the Pipers are digitally added.

Re: This looks like a fun trip

Three things:

The logo on the video says VideoTOV, an Israeli website production.

Secondly. in the video when the gentleman reads his poem and the poem is on screen IAF-20 is written on the page.

Thirdly, it certainly looked like some pretty good formation flying!

Those former (older) Israeli pilots thought those Alaskan bush planes were great toys compared to . . . .

Ha! I noticed that too...wondering why. It's kinda like he just stomped on the brake to turn around and nearly dragged the wing.

Looked to me like he did drag the wing. Wonder if there was a ledge or obstruction not seen in the video they were trying to avoid.

Same for me - edited version is what is playing now, apparently. Their guides might have chimed in that *some* people probably wouldn't want that on the internet.
