These Bush Planes can Takeoff & Land Anyway

Outfitted with colossal, low-pressure tundra tires, high wings, and robust piston engines, ready to conquer the most remote corners of the Earth. Bush airplanes are the unsung heroes of general aviation, offering vital passenger and flight services to places where runways are non-existent and roads impassable. Whether it's the icy wilderness of the Canadian north, the rugged Alaskan tundra, the vast African savannas, the dense Amazon rainforest, or the arid Australian Outback, these aircraft are the true masters of the wilderness. So subscribe, like, and join us as we unveil the elite among these aerial wilderness and the finest bush planes the world has ever known.

Thank you.

In Alaska, I watched a 'bush pilot' take off, from someone's "backyard", that was about 100' feet wide!
(In 1999, I met the then, oldest, still flying 'bush pilot' in Alaska, 77 year old Don Derring, when he landed
at a small runway, across from where I was staying, i.e. The Eureka Lodge & he spent the night! Great Guy!)

Thanks for taking the time to post this up. I really enjoyed it. I took flying lessons as a teenager. Applied for military pilot in the Navy at 25 years old. Their reply? "You are already too old kid." Talk about a reality check.

Not sure how a Caravan turned into a Pilatus mid flight but the miracle of modern editing strikes again.

I like how the pacer snuck in there with the cubs

5:13 If I am correct the HA10 has a turboprop, not the GA8, and on the image, the plane clearly doesn't..

2:07 is a Highlander, not a Husky. (It's Steve Henry in Idaho)

I've been in a Twin Otter, traveling from Pond Inlet to Arcitc Bay in the Canadian arctic, in February, in a blizzard. It was one of those flights where you stand on a scale with your luggage before boarding. We all boarded, strapped in, Co-pilot tok out the wheel chocks, engines running and we were facing into the wind. The Pilot looked back and asked if we were all ready, we all nodded, and he just pulled back on the stick and the plane just jumped into the air, no taxiing, no rolling down the run way, there was enough headwind to just take off vertically. Half the people screamed, half of us laughed. There's no sunlight that time of the year, all we could see was black and white, black rock and mountains, white glaciers and snow. It was a beautiful view, but terrifying, one of those flights that if you went down you'd want to die in the crash, because if you survived injured it wouldn't be long before a polar bear found you.

A little uninvited grammar lesson: "These Bush Planes Can Take Off and Land", notice the space between "take" and "off": that's because "take off" is a phrasal verb, like back up, log in, take down, and break down (there are many others) which can be conjugated like "I backed up", "You logged in", "we took down", "she broke down". Putting them in past tense makes it clear they need to be separate. They can also be nouns and adjectives, in which case they are combined: "I erased the backup", "she forgot the login information", "the equipment takedown was simple", "she had a bad breakdown".

It’s quite frustrating to see one particular airplane described and then to have the footage display an entirely different aircraft. This is the kind of YouTube video that really pisses me off. It’s an amalgam of video clips with a voiceover that doesn’t match what you’re saying at all.

[JessHull]

how come the planes keep turning into ther planes while the plane thats being talked about isn't the plane being shown?

[smacksille]

I also remember the air truck and the fletcher.

Bet you can't unsee it @ 2:11 that rock looks like a an ancient weathered Egyptian Pharoah statue sitting on a throne

Quel est le nom de l'avion sur la vignette ?

[larstueschjth]

Takeoff and land anyway? It is a plane, so it comes in handy😉
Lmao😭😭😭

[briankenney]

they can crash anywhere too and often do. .

[deandeann]

My ideal bush plane would be the DeHavilland Beaver with floats - if $ was unlimited I would get the turbo engined rebuilt. If $ was trulu unlimited I would also get a DC-3 float plane - there is only one in existance, it is stored at theairport at Bangor, Maine - I knew a very successful Alaska bush pilot who drooled for that plane (she already had the Beaver).

[rudetoy]

Didn’t think that plane has that much space in it😚

[plowboy]

They missed a lot of aircraft, Beaver, Maule, Cessna 180 & 185, Highlander, Ran's.

6:45 Am I really hear ALU-MI-NI-UM, not ALU-MI-NUM?! I am just happy.😂

"These Bush Planes can Takeoff & Land Anyway" should be These Bush Planes can Takeoff & Land ANYWHERE.
