Beaver hops over a whale

A Harris Aircraft Services DeHavilland Beaver (from Sitka) landing at Angoon narrowly avoided colliding with a surfacing whale.

Video here:

Looks like the pilot may have seen the exhale breath but not the whale, and handled it quite nicely.

Pause/play to see the exhale mist and the back of the whale.

Good for the whale, did the right thing.
