I’m dead serious when I say that this might be the best piece of general aviation filmography ever put out to the public. It absolutely captures what GA stands for and really shows the sense of community between all of us pilots. I loved every second of this and if anything it reaffirmed my love of backcountry and commercial aviation. Looks like I picked the right lifestyle!

My goal for next year is to attend High Sierra 2019 in my brand new bush / STOL / backcountry airplane... which will look unlike any other airplane I saw on any of the High Sierra Fly In 2018 videos. The videos you FlyingCowboys and friends are posting this year are so great, I predict twice as many people attend next year.

Believe it or not. A company has made a turbine that can fit in light sport aircraft it's called the PBS TP100. And it was tested in a Rans RV10. Pushes out 250 horsepower. Your thoughts Trent?

An amazing project and that Rotax 915 IS seems to be everything that it was alledged to be. I have one question, How is a Custom Wilga with over 700HP racing with other aircraft that has 1/5th the power it has?

It also has three times the weight. Without that prop beta mode, that race would have been *much* closer, IMHO. I wonder if there is a prop that can do beta for the Kitfox... :-)

Congratulations Trent. On getting your airplane redone, getting it in such a short time, getting to the drags and taking 2nd place with LOW hours on the hobbs meter is truly amazing . Safety was adhered to, looks like everybody had a great time !

Trent, that looked like an absolute blast, my friend. I must tell you, you and your channel have reignited my fire to learn how to fly. Getting ready to relocate from Silicon Valley, to Billings Montana, and after I get settled, it's time to go to school, to learn to fly! Thanks for giving this old guy the spark! Gman!

High Sierra, Definitely #1 in my bucket List!! Thanks to the complete Flying Cowboys team who inspires many us to keep pushing on ourselves to accomplish our goals related to aviation and for making this event possible to keep aviation FUN. In my very personal case, watching this videos where there's people doing what they love and enjoying it while being surrounded by their best friends and families makes me say: "Hey! I want to fly there with my little boy and enjoy my weekend with this guys!!". This is exactly what I want to transmit to him. Do what you love to do and share it with those who you love. Working on my PPL so hopefully we can be there soon. I wonder what's the motivation for Trent and the rest of the team.....
