Heavy Breathing at Lake Hood
With an hour to kill before a commercial flight back to the Lower 48, I half-heartedly captured some of the beautiful sights and sounds of the lunchtime action at Anchorage, Alaska's Lake Hood Seaplane Base.
The excitement of watching Beavers, Otters, 206s, Caravans, and Cubs operated by Rust's, K2, and Regal Air is undeniable - as witnessed by the heavy breathing from behind the camera. Oops.
Also, wind. Healthy little crosswind in the main channel. Next time I'll don the dead cat...maybe over my own mouth.

I worked at ANC back in 1968. I always remembered the lake with the float planes "docked" around the shores. As you would expect alot of changes since then.
I've lived and worked in Anchorage most of my 70 years. My last work location was just across the road from Lake Hood. Incredibly busy place in the summer. Working outdoors all the time meant hearing and seeing the planes take off and land. My mother enjoyed going out to Lake Hood on Sunday afternoons just to watch the planes come and go.
The quality of filming, sounds and editing is top level, thank you very much !
That slip at the end. Then the pontoon bounce... I let out a little woohoo. Haha. Great shots of awesome pilots and airplanes.
Lake Hood is my family’s favorite place to go in Anchorage. Great memories made here watching our favorite planes. Beautiful footage. My son is a huge fan of Bush Planes, he’s three years old, and loves your videos. We watch Deja Vu before he goes to sleep almost nightly.

Haha that's awesome. My daughters sit in the back seat of my unfinished Bearhawk and say we're "flying to Alaska."

@@BackcountryPilot So when are you going to make it up here to Alaska? We'd love to meet you. @alaskaprophoto
Beavers really look perfect. Just a perfect machine.
Great video! This is EXACTLY what I do every time I fly out of Stevens. Absolutely love it! Especially the little shacks that have been painted to match their planes.
so windy !!! great job!
Beautiful sights and beautiful sounds!
I miss walking around Lake Hood during my airline layovers. Hope to get back to Alaska after I finish my Bearhawk Patrol. Thanks for the video.
Enjoyed that. Didn't notice the heavy breathing until you mentioned it. Always look forward to your videos. Swirly Girl is my favourite.

Whoever it was took it back after a second watch!
I would love to fly the 185 on floats to see the difference on flying characteristics
Hey! The Beaver actually made it off safely this time! Not like the guy who flew into the ground a few years ago..... Pretty sure that was at Lake Hood. Could be wrong, though.

It was a privately owned Beaver right in that channel, in a crosswind. Wicked crash.
I would love to be at Lakewood to fly with a company

What are you pulling focus with? DSLR? Just really wide aperture?

Not really pulling focus at all in this situation. Lens approx 300mm. High F number, focus pretty much infinity.
