He stayed polite, humorous and apologetic till the last moment.

Some days I would love to be sitting in the other seat.

Props to the man who tried talking him through to get him to land. I can't imagine how stressful that was.

“I wouldn’t mind just shootin the shit with you guys! but its all business you know” thats what us men need to do more.

For some minutes he was the happiest man on earth

"Alot of pritty stuff, i guess they are prittier in a different context" Man, acknowledging the beauty but cannot feel it or really feel it because of ghe place he is in

This guy was just acting to get attention. Attention to THE ISLAND WHERE THE AIRPLANE CRASHED. People don't know, but that Island was an enclave owned by a billionaire. His own personal space where the US gov has no authority or jurisdiction. It is also the island that launched a missile at Trump's AF1 airplane when he became president in 2017 Sky King was a well orchestrated plot to crash a stolen airplane on that island because it gave Trump's WhiteHats authority to investigate the area.

A fucking Seattle legend.

Beeboe was awesome. Dude has balls, that must have been a scary way to go. He sounds happy in the plane, but frustration escalated as the end drew near. When he asked “is this life in prison” Traffic should have told him “more likely a few years in the hospital, you seem rational enough to know this is an emotional breakdown” To be fair, I doubt they are trained in negotiating or deescalation Perhaps he was holding it together for his family listening. A pilot probably told him death would be instant and painless. It probably was.

Legends never die - rest in peace sky king

Came here for a laugh but stayed to share a tear..

I love you, my brother. I’m struggling too.

Absolute legend ❤

This reminds me of a quote: "That choice you made, echoes through millions of people" He may have taken the toughest choice, with the highest price. But his family should rest assured, that he impacted the whole world. And many people, will remember to treat each other better, help the weakest among us, and do good. One person, will help another. And that person will do the same to another. And the good will spread. This will go on, through generations. All because he made the ultimate sacrifice. May you fly forever 🕊 RIP.

Happy birthday kid

This guy the Sky King was a true legend for that hour he was truly free and alive. He what’s also the only person I ever seen I was able to pull a barrel roll in an airliner. Fly high and higher 🫡

Nobody cares about me ..maybe my kids...I was a foster kid thrown away. I just came to terms it doesn't matter and I don't need anybody to care about me. Get as much money as I can treat people kindly and take care of my kids best I can. If you want company create one. Nobody cares about anyone but themselves and this video proves some not even themselves..The bible helps sometimes but j just don't get how the wicked keep winning. I was an athlete. You won if you worked hard enough. Life is not a sport it's a sick competition with different rules for everyone.. I just don't care about fair and family anymore it's a lie. Just glad I refuse to be a POS bitter person that treats people badly cause I'm upset. Never will be that way.

that's freedom, I admire this guy.

I don’t give a shit what anyone says, Beebo is a legend.. Rip Sky King

Fuxking hero!

You’re a good person, may have cost a lot of money for a plane, but everyone loves you ❤️❤️❤️

This year i walked 700km through the rocky mountains in canada for suicide prevention. Met many wonderful people who know someone who has gone throgh with it and even people who have tried to end their own lives. Its a serious thing thats not really talked about. Sky king is giving me motivation to walk further next year.

Thanks for the great Video! Life saver 😇

Rest In Peace Sky King

Fly high, Sky King. I hope the overwhelming joy you felt in your last moments is felt in the next life.

What compressor plugins do you all like?

I cry every time i watch something about the sky King fly high brother you reached millions deeply.

This tears me up. The most beautiful suicide I’ve ever seen. Sky king 🫡

Your tutorials are great. If you did an audio crash course, I would it if you did a mini crash course in audition. Also, if you haven't yet, I would love to see you do a video on your favorite plugins (Wave, FabFilter) for Audition.

The calmness of the pilot should be commended think he did a good job just sad that Richard took his own life.

They censored his response when the agent said they'd give him any job. It was actually, "Yeah right, I'm a white guy."

**Tribute to Richard "Beebo" Russell: The Sky King** In a world often clouded by chaos and despair, Richard "Beebo" Russell emerged as an unexpected figure of both intrigue and poignancy. On that fateful day in 2018, he took to the skies, not out of malice or desperation, but in search of something transcendent-a fleeting moment of freedom amid the burdens of life. As he piloted the plane into the vast blue, he became a symbol of the complex tapestry of the human spirit, a reminder that even in our darkest hours, there exists a longing for connection, understanding, and peace. Beebo's decision to crash the aircraft was a testament to his profound compassion. With a heart that sought to protect rather than harm, he chose the path that would ensure no one else would suffer from his actions. In that moment, he became more than a man-he became the “Sky King,” a figure who soared above the ordinary, defying conventions and expectations. Many who heard his story felt a strange sense of kinship with him, as if he represented a part of themselves that yearns for liberation from life’s constraints. His flight, though short-lived, touched the lives of many. It sparked conversations about mental health, the struggles we face, and the need for compassion in our communities. Beebo’s story serves as a poignant reminder that behind every headline, there is a human being with dreams, fears, and hopes. He dared to chase the clouds, and in doing so, he left a mark on our hearts. As we remember Richard Russell, we hold onto the hope that he has touched the face of God, finding the solace and understanding he sought in the skies. May his spirit continue to inspire us to reach for our own dreams, to treat each other with kindness, and to seek help when we need it most. In our memories, he will forever be the Sky King, soaring through the heavens, a reminder of the beauty of compassion and the indelible strength of the human spirit.

we don't deserve him.

I’m a piano technician (tune, regulate, and repair) and I swear by these!! Best earplugs I’ve ever used as far as sound quality. Does a great job reducing background noise, whilst still giving me a clear sound of the piano. And it drastically reduces my daily noise fatigue. Love my Loops!

Is it necessary to have a “trigger warning” as the first thing in the description?

That man got his wings. Rest in peace brother

🖤🖤🖤

If you look up “Kenton Island” on google maps, you can easily identify the exact location he put the plane down. Seems like he planned this very carefully, as he was sure to land on an island, on a portion that was completely undeveloped

Reminds me of killdozer.

Rest in peace o7
