Flight Instruction and Everything Aviation

In this video I capture the sights of the first winter snow on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. It was filmed mainly from a Mavic 2 Pro drone, as well as a little from a Piper Warrior aircraft.

A frozen Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. Ice fishermen and bob houses are dotting the thick clear ice all over the lake.

The bob houses have returned to Lake Winnipesaukee in central New Hampshire. This video was filmed near Long Island, and the Long Island Bridge.

This video is of the sights and sounds of Alaskan rivers. Alaska rivers included in this video are the Matanuska River, the King River, the Savage River, and the Kenai River, all in Alaska.

This video is of our flight from Talkeetna, Alaska, to Ruth Glacier on Denali. We flew in a de Havilland Otter, and I had the chance to sit right seat in the cockpit. As a commercial rated pilot it was an extremely fantastic opportunity. We flew with Talkeetna Air Taxi, which I highly recommend. The Denali glacier landing is a must!

For these Alaska scenic flights I used a a DJI Phantom 4 Pro Drone, and a Cessna 172 aircraft and a de Havilland Otter aircraft. I flew the Cessna 172, but only sat right seat as a passenger on the de Havilland Otter that was owned and operated by Talkeetna Air Taxi. I highly recommend Talkeetna Air Taxi. The drone and manned aircraft flights that I filmed occurred while I was up in Alaska the past two summers with my wife on our Alaska Adventures. The Alaska scenic flights include views of Hatcher Pass, Palmer, Talkeetna, and Denali Alaska. ================================= Music by: Dreamers Of The Day by Serge Narcissoff | https://soundcloud.com/sergenarcissoff Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US On The Wave by Groove Bakery | https://groovebakery.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-ND 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ Pink Sunrise by NikoWrightsonFX | https://soundcloud.com/nikowrightsonfx Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-ND 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/

The deep emerald green landscape, and the low hanging clouds above, made me feel like I was in Ireland. But I wasn't. I filmed this in Durham, New Hampshire at UNH's Browne Center for Innovative Learning using a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone. Above the treeline, glimpses of New Hampshire's Great Bay can be seen.

It's the end of December, 2018, and Lake Winnipesaukee water is cold and glassy, but not frozen yet.

Had new VFR avionics installed in my Super Cub. The new avionics included a Garmin GTR225 com radio, a Garmin GTX335 Transponder with ADSB-Out, a Garmin G5 Attitude Indicator, and a new Directional Gyro and a new digital clock with USB ports.

My Super Cub is going in for new avionics on Friday, so took her out for one last flight around the New Hampshire Lakes Region. The Supercub is getting some new Garmin avionics that includes a new Garmin GTR 225 Com Radio, a Garmin GTX 335 Transponder with ADSB-Out, a Garmin G5 Attitude Indicator, a new round dial directional gyro, a Garmin GPS mount, and a new clock with USB ports integrated in it.

Took my first solo flight in my Piper Super Cub today. Flew it out over Lake Winnipesaukee and the surrounding area. Also got in a few drone shots that I took this morning on the lake as well. If you watch the video carefully you can see some views of the New Hampshire White Mountains and Mt. Washington out in the distance.

Consider subscribing to my channel --- Flew the SuperCub from Laconia (KLCI) to Portsmouth International Airport (KPSM), a.k.a. Pease airport. Flight was all going well until the landing in Portsmouth. Tower told me to land on RWY 16, though wind was at 290 @ 5Kts. Due to the fact that I had not yet landed on such a long and wide runway (11,322' x 150') with the Cub / taildragger, I flared high, which led to a couple of bounces on the landing. On the second bounce, the rear right quartering wind caused the nose of the plane to weather-vane to the right. I then put too much left rudder in to counter the turn to the right, and then quickly found myself on a trajectory to go off the left side of the runway, and towards a sign. So, I gave it full power and took off again, just missing the runway sign.

I attempted to land my Piper Supercub (PA-18-150) at Moultonboro NH airport (5M3), but the crosswinds were too strong to safely land. I made two approaches to land at 5M3. I finally wound up returning back to Laconia, NH (KLCI) where there was less of a crosswind component.

In this video I fly down to Concord, NH (KCON) to stop in and say hello to my old friends at Concord Aviation Services (CAS). Years ago I got my private pilot's license in Concord with CAS. I also tried out a new GoPro Hero 7 Black on the wing of my Piper Super Cub. The video it shot came out great, but as usual the battery didn't last long. Only for the flight down from KLCI to KCON.

Took the drone out early this morning to check out a swarm of bees in the top of a tree. Too high to catch. While at it, I figured I'd pop up and take a quick look around the home and check out the lake and surrounding mountains.

A few weeks back I took the Super Cub out and found during the run-up that I was having a 300 RPM drop during the left Mag check. So, I didn't fly that day. Had the local FBO investigate the problem and they found a fouled spark plug on cylinder 1. Today, after spending the last two weeks in Alaska, I took the Super Cub out for a test flight over Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire to see how she was running. Suffice it to say, she was flying smoothly on all 4 cylinders. While checking out the plane I filmed some video of Lake Winnipesaukee since it was a gorgeous summer morning in the lakes region of New Hampshire. Also, I am asking taildragger pilot viewers to weigh in on what type of replacement tires I should get for my Super Cub.

Here's a quick drone video that I took while we were on our way up to Denali National Park.

In this video we travel from Wasilla, Alaska, up through Palmer, Alaska, and then northeastwards up the Alaska Route 1, or Glenn Highway, to the Matanuska Glacier. Along the way to the Matanuska Glacier, along the Glenn Highway, we paralleled the Matanuska River.

This summer I had the chance to fly up the Knik River and fly over the Knik Glacier while in Alaska. I flew a Cessna 172. This is a condensed full featured video of the flight, though I had 1.5 hours of recorded flight video. Too much to show in one video! I rented the plane out of #FlyAroundAlaska in Palmer, AK, and an experienced bush pilot friend from Anchorage helped guide me up the river and over the glacier area.

I took my Piper PA-18 Supercub out today for a test flight with its new 8.50x6 Goodyear tires. The tires make the plane look a whole lot better, compared to when it had the 6.0-6 tires on it. However, it is going to take a little getting used to having the larger tires on it. The new tires increase the angle of attack and present a whole new site picture out the cockpit window.I also need to drop the pressure in the new tires down from 30 PSI to probably in the 18-20 PSI range. The tires just were to firm and bouncy, as you will see in particularly my second landing attempt in this video.

Consider subscribing to my channel --- I took my Super Cub flying this morning to enjoy some of the last few hours of summer. I flew up to Plymouth, New Hampshire in my Supercub and filmed some of the beautiful sights along the way. I also have some video of the Plymouth New Hampshire Municipal Airport (1P1) and the FBO.

In this video I fly to Fryeburg, Maine, airport code KIZG, in my Piper Supercub. The runway (32/14) is 4,200 feet long and 75 feet wide and is in decent condition. It is 3 miles southeast of Fryeburg, Me. Along the flight I point out points of interest including; Mount Washington, Mt Chocorua, and Conway New Hampshire. I also point out the Ossipee Ring Dike.

Consider subscribing to my channel --- In this video I take the Super Cub out for some backcountry flying up to Windsock Village Airport (NH69) in Ossipee, New Hampshire, and meet up with a friend who lives in the village. I took him up for a flight and we toured the Ossipee Mountain and Sandwich Mountain areas. Sights include views of Ossipee Lake, Lake WInnipesaukee, and the Ossipee Ring Dike. I also got to get in a couple of landings and take-offs on this beautifully maintained backcountry grass strip.
