It would be nice to have a camera that can capture a turning propeller the correct way. The sound is great, editing, camera, etc. but the smartphone cannot do propellers. I did the same as you, but from the seaplane part of YVR south terminal. This is one of Canadas best airlines. I just took pictures.

@PeterNGloor, Thanks Peter for your kind words, engagement and support, I am truly grateful. I agree, the smartphone can't do propellers. That being said, my little frame can't hold the weight of a more sophisticated camera for more than a couple of minutes at a time. I can hold my iPhone 13 ProMax for almost an hour, arms extended. I couldn't agree more, Harbour Air is one of Canada's best airlines! I donate10% of what I earn through ad revenue on my channel to charity. I asked my good friend and neighbour, Mike the HA mechanic, which of my chosen charities should I donate to with this particular video, his choice is the Terry Fox Foundation. Great choice, Mike the mechanic, the Terry Fox Foundation will be the recipient of this video's charitable offering. Best....Corrie

In the 1990's I commuted regularly from Victoria to Vancouver for business. At one point I calculated the cost of ferry fares, gasoline, wear/tear, and work-time-down. It became obvious Harbour Air was the best option. This video is a trip back in time for me. So nostalgic that I put on headphones to simulate the white noise of the flight. Loved the service then and appreciate that I may well have flown on that very aircraft. Had it been an outbound flight I might have glimpsed my family home at Clover avenue and Moss street. Thank you Corrie. An absolute visual treat.

My wife and I took the first morning flight in the DHC-2 from Maple Bay on a clear crisp September morning. We could hear it from behind the boathouses sounding like a teenager having to wake up for school! Several turns later she fired up and shortly after poked out from behind the boathouses into the low rising sunshine! Our hearts MELTED! About 100’ off the terminal dock the pilot killed the engine. We were deeply in tune with EVERY sound coming from that beautiful radial engine and could clearly envision each piston, connecting rod, valves, lifters and springs working in melody to put it back to sleep. Then…silence, broken only by the lapping of the water on the pontoons as she quietly glided into dock. To top this off was the smell of the salt chuck, creosote pilings and BACON coming from an anchored ketch in the harbour! Our departure was no less spectacular! Being the first flight of the day, the pilot took several minutes gently increasing the throttle while intently scanning the instruments for any indication of a problem….there were none. Now he steadily increased to about 3/4 throttle, and the wake coming off the floats glistened in the early morning sun like a brides veil on her wedding day. Then…’balls to the wall’ jumped up onto its step skimming the surface increasing speed rapidly and lifting off and into the air! We did not use the available ear protection as we wanted to hear and feel EVERY roar and vibration coming from that beautiful radial engine! We were not disappointed! As you can tell by my description and the passion behind it, this truly was an experience of a lifetime! How did it feel? Take this description and multipy by the power of 10’💕💕💕

Taking your pilots license in the area is so much fun and you can't beat the view . I flew out of Boundary Bay and around Vancouver and the San Juan Islands , I know we might have ( accidently ) crossed the boarder a little oops but the view draws you .

I think you and I share an attitude to aviation that the only thing better than watching aircraft is flying in them. I must admit that Vancouver - Victoria and back has to be one of the most memorable flights of my life. Another was flying in a Long Ranger helicopter in The Rockies. The third was 45 minutes in the back of a two seat Harrier. Three flights I will never forget.

Great video. Back in the 1970s for two summers I worked at Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories, right on the Arctic Circle. We flew up in Twin Otters from Yellowknife and return. They are wonderful aircraft and I have great memories of those flights. Also I got to fly several times in a Beaver and a small Cessna float plane. Float planes are my favorite plane to fly in. People who've never experienced what it's like to take off and land on water are really missing out.

2/22/24..Hi Corrie from New Orleans, La. USA. Love most all aviation channels & know pretty muc which direction flight is taken. Unknown on this flight as no map or direction was given; yes you know, but how many 'foreign' viewers know if you are going West or East? Had a good customer with Mobil Oil, from Moose Jaw. So was wondering which direction you were going. Suggest a quick map pic & maybe a color tape/string showing the path. Beautiful country views. You did not tell altitude, am guessing 1200ft? Fantastic a/c. Stay safe & carry on!👍

@jamescole1786, thanks James for your kind, engaging comment. I am grateful for your support. I have been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, an amazing experience. Victoria BC is on Canada's southern west Coast on Vancouver Island. The flight from Vancouver to Victoria is southwest. I have a similar video taken in a different Otter. The pilot of that video, Nick said this "Our flight from take off, outbound was 1000' until mid strait. Then we were given clearance to 1500'. Once we cleared YVR airspace, and entered Victoria airspace. We were given clearance once again, to climb to 2500 just south of Prevost island. Our cruising speed was 125 indicated. Roughly 140mph ground speed." I believe It would be virtually the same for this flight I'm not a pilot, I'm an airplane enthusiast with a camera in my hand.
