A 7-minute year with North River Air

Here's a video my wife put together from some GoPro footage I took last year flying around Kodiak and the west Cook Inlet area. I hope you enjoy.

That was fun. I would like more than 7 minutes if that can be arranged. Ha.

I agree with Zane, the rotational touch and go shot was on point!

Re: A 7-minute year with North River Air

Crazyivan - funny you should ask. I've got hours of footage and the original video was over 14 min. I figured it would bore most people, too long to keep the attention. But it is on YouTube if you're interested.

Kevin - not sure the 185 would make it in there. Ha! Just kidding. Come on down I'll show ya where it is. I'd like to fly in that machine.

Taj,

Thanks. I actually watched it shortly after you posted it on YouTube! Good stuff. Feel free to post more videos more often!

This stuff never gets old. Not yet anyway.

Re: A 7-minute year with North River Air

Thanks for the kind words. The main wheel cessna is a 59 180. Floats are 63 185 (black) and a mid 70s 180 (red) that I use for some 91 flying.
