Flying Wild Alaska

[Killbilly]

I love this repaint for the Carenado 185. (I know that Tweeto flies a 180, but still.)

[Tracon]

Oh, I thought Jim flew a 185, lol. Nice repaint! Can I find that on the servers here at SOH?

[AndyE1976]

That's a great show when I've been able to catch it. Is their area covered in PNW?

[olderndirt]

That's a great show when I've been able to catch it. Is their area covered in PNW?Not yet - about a thousand miles to go. It is covered by UTXAK.

[Lionheart]

Love that show. Watched episode 6 last night. I download them from iTunes, I think $2.00 or $3.00 per episode. One hour and COMMERCIAL FREE!!!!!!! woo hoooo...


Ariel is a little cutie. Jim has a huge job managing all those planes and hubs. They do pretty darn good being in such a state as that, dropping people off in streams and hill tops...

[deimos256]

Fantastic show, it makes me want to move to AK, altough I'd rather live anywhere with a climate thats colder than FL!

[Killbilly]

Oh, I thought Jim flew a 185, lol. Nice repaint! Can I find that on the servers here at SOH?

It's at flightsim.com. Search "Jim Boynton" under FSX General Aviation.

[c87]

Can't believe this thread came up LOL, I was thinking the same thing. That show has just about got me to open my wallet and buy Carenado's 185 Bush, their Caravan and Flight One's Ultimate Alaska X. Will probably buy the Bush this weekend.

Anybody have any experience with Ultimate Alaska X?

It's fun to finally have a show that has an aviation theme to it.

[Anneke]

and Ice Pilot's about Bufallo aviation and Alaska Wingman. Love that stuff...

[Gdavis101]

Ultimate Alaska is great! :salute:

[BOOM]

I'm really becoming a Big Fan of this show,Beautifully filmed in HD,Great Cessna Haulers . Cute Babes,and interesting enough to hold me for 1hr!!!:jump:

[hae5904]

Sure great to see bushpilots at work, and everyhing that comes with it. Just finished watching episode 7. I wonder how many episodes will follow.

Cheers.

[Tracon]

Million dollar hangar and the door wont close, LOL..

[Bomber_12th]

Add me to the list who purchased the Carenado C-185 because of the repaint, and the show, as well! :)

I had been looking at the product ever since it came out, and enjoying the show as I have, as soon as I saw the repaint come up I bought the tundra-pack in an instant. Though funny enough, since purchasing the product, I still have yet to actually install the repaint - I've been having too much fun with the base product as is! I really love the tail-dragger Cessnas most, but the float-plane version is a lot of fun as well.

[PRB]

That Carenado C-185 looks nice. I may have to buy it now. Love that Flying Wild Alaska show. Did you see (Eppisode 7) the plane landing in what looked to be a 40+ knot head/cross wind. Wow! The plane was side ways and almost stationary over the runway. Dang!!

[Crusader]

Million dollar hangar and the door wont close, LOL..

I would love to see and hear Jim's(CEO) reaction when he first found out . I would imagine that the show would have to do some serious editing if they filmed it .:mad:

[hae5904]

Million dollar hangar and the door wont close, LOL..

Hey Cam! Sure that was funny. I would have chosen a more conventional door system.

:ernae:
Cheer mate.

[Tracon]

Hank? Holy cow where ya been lately?

[Willy]

Love the show. Got the DVR set up to record it and I watch it later when I can ffwd through the commercials. Did anyone else catch the DC-6 in the background of the scenes in Barrow last night? I had to back it back up and look again.

If only they would start showing Ice Pilots here in the US.

[PRB]

...Did anyone else catch the DC-6 in the background of the scenes in Barrow last night? ...

Yep, I saw that! Cool!

[EasyEd]

Hey All,

Great show! Not only does it have a 185 it also features the 1900C my favorite regional Turboprop. Lots of 1900Cs are flying around Alaska. Now if it had the PC-12 and the Kodiak all of my very favorite planes would be covered! :ernae:

-Ed-

[mfitch]

UTX Alaska is great for scenery detail. The coastlines are much better, and the tundra and lake regions are much more accurate in appearance. Not all of the village strips are quite right, but the bigger ones are. I simulated part of the Iditarod last year and enjoyed it.

Thanks I was wondering if this is on hulu cause I don't have cable.

[sidler]

They have been taken out because of infringement

That was an excellent show as well - I think I would have actually preferred watching more of those than of "Flying Wild Alaska", since it covered more aviation themes in Alaska, and a larger variety of people, rather than just focusing on one airline/family. All three episodes of "Alaska Wingman" were all aired, one after the other, on the Monday of the week that "FWA" premiered. I don't know if more episodes were in the pipeline or not - after watching them that first night, I was hoping there would be new episodes in the following weeks, but nothing since it seems.

[Railrunner130]

I'm starting to get into the Alaska localisms that they've gotten into the habit of showing/explaining. While it takes away a little bit from the flying, it adds importance to it. And Ariel is a trip!

Ya.. Ariel is a cutie.

[wilycoyote4]

http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/flying-wild-alaska/bios/ariel-tweto-bio.html
google for her, amazing stuff, no stranger to being a media star
anyway, not your everyday run-of-the-mill stuff
neither is her sister, her parents, or the show, IMHO
".............she shot her first caribou with her grandma at age 9. The recoil from the gun was so strong that she was left with a black eye."
Bet she helped skin and butcher it, Not just a pretty face, eh? Admire her because she's worth it.

[W. Bleddyn]

Not just a pretty face, eh? Admire her because she's worth it.

With respect, would you admire her without the pretty face or would she just seem like a twit then?

I am thankful she is learning to fly so far away from me, the thought of her operating any machinery is frightening.

[Tracon]

Oh my gosh she's my age! Hardcore, cute, ditzy, wilderness chic that loves airplanes? Yup, moving to Unalakleet.

[Railrunner130]

Oh my gosh she's my age! Hardcore, cute, ditzy, wilderness chic that loves airplanes? Yup, moving to Unalakleet.

Haha. I don't blame you. That's a very interesting mix and I'd concur. She's tough. That ear wrestling thing last week was really an interesting view of her personality.

[Gdavis101]

Does anyone know if there is a repaint for the 208 for Era?

[Anneke]

an interesting view of her personality.

Indeed I had feeling to when I saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cslbz3X2mQE (see from 1:39)

[Tracon]

Does anyone know if there is a repaint for the 208 for Era?

I am not aware of one, but if you find one please let me know.

[Killbilly]

I am not aware of one, but if you find one please let me know.

Yeah, I've been looking for one as well. I'd also like to see an ERA livery for the Kingair (since we don't have a native FSX 1900).

[flaviossa]

I asked to our friend Mr. Jankees to put one Era´s 208 in his repaint factory to do list. I think he will help us when he gets some spare time ... He is one of the best repainters out there. :ernae:

[Lionheart]

I also love the music from that show. I wish they would release a playlist of them in iTunes. That would be brilliant...


Thanks to Jankee's if he makes a repaint of the ERE 208's.



Bill

[Tracon]

I agree a hundred percent. ERA playlist in itunes would be brilliant. That DJ is SO COOL. Beautiful Unalakleet! :jump:

[wilycoyote4]

http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/PAUN.html

[wilycoyote4]

Simviation has a Kavik scenery

[W. Bleddyn]

Thanks for the heads up. The creators need to fix it up a bit though, it is listed (as FSX sees it) as City: Kavik, State: None, Country: Alaska.

Took me a bit to find it as Alaska has no PAKA lol

[wilycoyote4]

I see what you mean. And a long way from Unalakleet.

[Lionheart]

<--- just purchased the FS2004 Cessna 185. Flew north from Unakaleet to Koyut.

Love it.......................!

[Tracon]

What? Why on Earth would you fly a FS9 model when the Carenado 185 is available? :173go1:

[W. Bleddyn]

I see what you mean. And a long way from Unalakleet.

It is a long way, but they have placed it in the right place. You will just have a hard time finding it if you are sorting by the State of Alaska as I was, since the creators have placed this in the Sovereign Nation of Alaska :)

[Bushpounder]

<--- just purchased the FS2004 Cessna 185. Flew north from Unakaleet to Koyut.

Love it.......................!

Hi buddy! It's about time!! LOL! I wish you were flying the FSX version. I have a killer cfg/af combo on my site created by Bernt Stolle. They are PERFECT! Have fun with her!!

Don

I too am waiting for more ERA repaints for ANYTHING! ;)

ive been "playing" and using the FAA list i posted for ICECAP LLC TRUSTEE ive gone one airplane at a time and just typed the "N" number into google and ive found pics of just about every airplane listed...

[Bushpounder]

Glad to see so much interest in Era and the show. While it is a bit scripted, it is great to see the planes, the airport conditions, the weather, and all other things bush! Oh yes, and Ariel too! Thanks also to all those who are working on projects to enhance our experience!!

Don

[CG_1976]

Im glad to see our Alaskan Bush Neighbors finally getting the attention they deserve. Thank you to all painters and scenery designers for responding to the call:salute:

[wilycoyote4]

revised Unalakleet scenery at flightsim today

[glennc]

I installed V2 of PAUN, after carefully (I think) chasing down all the parts of the first one. Landed in the C208 towards the ramp. I had a collision with something invisible about half way down the runway.

Me, too, and I crashed when parked on the ramp as well. And I crashed when I placed my Beaver on rwy 26.

[Lionheart]

I flew the C-185 earlier today from Barrows to PAWI on the North West coast line, about 75 NM west, using Real Weather. -25F, lol... Now that is cheeeee leeeeee, lol... Low clouds. Kept her around 2,000 feet most of the time, had to duck under a big gray cloud once. Strong winds on take-off, calm winds on landing.

Man... What a wild bit of wilderness...

[W. Bleddyn]
