This is a video of the deHavilland beaver plane crash at Lake Hood in Anchorage AK, on June 7, 2009. My father and I were videotaping planes at Lake Hood taking off and landing when the wind kicked up and sent the Beaver taking off right at us. The wing was less than 5 feet over our heads, and the radial engine was less than 8 feet to my left. No exaggeration!! The Slow motion at the end gives a little better look at how close it was. Everyone onboard was in pristine condition, 2 adults, 2 children and 2 dogsFor those wondering what camcorder I use it is a Canon VIXIA HF20 Less

Mar 19, 2010 - edfreen P-factor begins the time you bring the plane ( prop) up to full throttle and begin your take off roll, you better be right rudder ( depending rotation ) or your going to left feild. Cant speak from experience on the floats but I would think a right crosswind would call for more than normal right rudder not only for the factor of more surface for the wind to act on but also you have to overcome current which is usually going with the wind. Hope they all walked away, planes replaceable
