Beyond epic

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Prepare to be blown away by this DVOW Finalist video from Alaska, compliments of top AirVuz contributor CragLord. Filmed under close supervision, the video captures a "bushplane" making its way across the Alaskan landscape skimming over frozen tundra and glaciers. Particularly noteworthy though is the over-water flight, in which the aircraft's fat tires act like floats. In effect, the lift of the plane's wings combined with the buoyancy of the tires, exactly counteract the effects of gravity.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

A lot has to line up to capture a shot like this. Glaciers are volatile places! Massive amounts of ice create rapid temperature changes, strong winds, and turbulent weather....... But today, everything came together perfectly—80 degrees, sunshine, no wind, a skilled pilot and a nerd with a drone!
