EPIC Takeoff & Landing at a Sloped Mountain Runway | Bush Pilot Flight Vlog

[@derekpriest9399]

My favourite video. Josh is so cool 👍👍

[@lydiaanderson582]

@Hello Derek how are you doing?

[@phillw2850]

I was a USAF geodetic officer working in Port Moresby at our Aerial Survey Team that did log line trilateration surveys in the Pacific. 1964 We had teams on mountain tops for months and used every method available to resupply them. I was in charge of our photo lab and our survey computation team. Thank you for the reminding me of an experience I had when I was allowed to visit one of our stations.

[@rakeshbhandari8111]

Thanks for your pioneering work

@Hello Phill how are you doing?

[@VandewegheProduction]

Thanks for taking us along for a nice ride...

@Hello how are you doing?

[@leokimvideo]

Crazy runway, those mountains look savage. And were an amazing natural barrier way back in WW2. The people of PNG really helped out in that affair when Australia was under attack.

[@alanmcrae8594]

Great to see such a thorough, disciplined pilot - a guy you'd feel comfortable flying with over forest covered mountains in the middle of nowhere...

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Wow, thanks!

[@PaulGarthAviation]

I agree that there would be a sense of comfort having him as PIC. Also he's technically not in the middle of nowhere. The strip he flew out was named, "Random Bush Location". ;-)

[@stensundelin4805]

Thank you for supporting Missionaries and helping spread the Message!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Always!

[@frankdillon9016]

My wife and I knew Reggi Pep who rebuilt many planes for mission aviation fellowship before he passed away recently. It was good to see this video and remembering.

You are doing great to serve PNG people.We are so proud of you!💞

“That big dark shaded are, we will land just past the dark shaded area right where it starts to get light again.” Oh the joys of bush flying! 😂 Love the content, never stop.

[@johnkerr1953]

Hi Ryan that was a trimendous flight, it was great flying over these high rocky mountains, also the cloud formation was to my mind magnificent, so thanks a million for another great flight.

[@ChuckGallagherspeaker]

Great video for mountain flying!

[@tommydude3824]

You've taught me a lot that I now understand in Flight SIm 2020. Thank you. Love how you point everything out for dumb asses like me who have no idea whatsoever. Great content.

[@schlippery1]

I would fly with these guys...:)

I love when Josh and his coffee copilots with you! Y’all a great team!

[@philipford6183]

What an epic landscape to fly in. Simultaneously beautiful and terrifying. You guys are good!

[@LTFIRE64]

Being from South Florida, seeing you fly in this beautiful mountainous terrain is incredible, excellent piloting, don't think you could get the landing any smoother than you did. Stay safe!

[@markferguson5064]

I say again that I know thing about flying, but I learn something with every one of your videos. The discipline and attention to detain that you exhibit make me feel safe in your hands. Ryan thank you for your work.

[@lydiaanderson582]

@Hello Mark how are you doing?

[@dasflugzeug]

What a fine example showing the difficult approach

[@zero00tolerance]

Beautiful landing at 15:34 !

[@dalegreer3095]

Makes me appreciate learning to fly in flat, flat North Texas.

[@videom]

Same here....got my pilot license at GPM!

[@rockybass3129]

Didn't finish but my 26hrs were out of KCXO LoneStar Exec

[@rickniland46]

Menyamya is much improved from when I was there in the mid seventies - Kiap days

[@samuelgamato971]

But the road going there from Bulolo is always a challenge, when it's raining or after it rains

[@mikecoffee100]

Whoaa two pilots share the work load sounds good

[@fredmoore8661]

We flew Hercs there '90/92 supporting the Chevron oil project at Moro. It was quite an experience. We had four turbines. These guys have one turbine, but they have all computerized cockpits. Suck a bird through the intake in that thing and you're very likely done. We flew NDB/DME approaches and did the calculations by hand. Analog cockpits. These guys are good!! (Because they are still alive.) The weather/terrain situation can be deadly. IMHO, other than combat, PNG flying is among the most challenging to be found worldwide. I lost two very dear friends there due to terrain, weather and a mistake. GPS was in its infancy and few, if any, had it. They got lost NW of Goroka enroute from Mt. Hagen, turned too soon, and pounded into a mountain in a Bandierante. I never learned why Jay turned when he did. He was a Talair Check Airman. Jay and Nancy, RIP. Two monsoons sweep the islands annually. Things can become difficult very quickly. These missionary pilots have bronze balls. When we were there, they flew 206's. Pistons. RESPECT!

Is that professional aviation lingo??

[@rockybass3129]

Looking at the end of that runway it matters. DAYUM That's a run with repercussions.

[@williamarmbrecht472]

As and old single engine pilot, these guys are good.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

thanks

[@pappybo49]

As 1 old single engine pilot to another , you’re right.

[@katehobbs2008]

In PNG as a pilot, you are good or you are dead. A lot of the pilots in Vanuatu when I lived there were ex PNG.

[@Ash-cy7yw]

You probably learned when flying was more pure, fun and free. These guys today have more and more regulation. I notice he has to work constantly throughout his flight.

[@samuelgamato971]

@@katehobbs2008 the terrain and weather is always a challenge

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I feel as if after watching a few thousand of these I would be ready for flight lessons. Thanks!

[@razackshaari1696]

Fantastic guys good flying many challenges but you guys are pro bush pilot!! I did my bush flying in the jungles of Borneo Sarawak and Sabah as early as in the 80’s on the BN2,skyvan,twin otter and it was a job that reminds me of what you guys are doing now. The runway and terrain in Papua is more challenging!!! Stay safe guys!!

[@jimbarker9720]

I'm just a Diesel Mechanic from (still live), Dallas Texas, not a pilot. I love your video's, thank you for making them. Your video's are as close as i'll get to places like this!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks for watching!

[@badgerbait8351]

That runway is so short with serious consequences! Reminds me of my hang gliding days when you leave a mountain top...you're committed and there's no 'reset' button! Thanks for sharing!

[@csd012]

Thanks 👍

Wonderful terrain . You really have to be aware . You even pick out your possible crash sites . That's what I call cool , calm and collective . Nice short flight !

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

thx for watching

[@beboboymann3823]

Back in the ‘70’s I was in the building business and assisted a bush pilot in the construction of his new home in Waxhaw North Carolina. His first name was Leo last name escapes me but he was a JAARS pilot (Jungle Aviation and Radio Service, Waxhaw, NC. He was a great guy and only told me that he took missionaries to remote locations he was assigned to deliver to. I assume now that he flew like you guys fly.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yes, JAARS does the same kind of flying as we do.

[@TheKoderius]

And here we all are quarantined, and these guys are living the life...FML

[@jfsimon1981]

Looks really right flying, right skills, Thanks for sharing Jean-François

I would luv to be a bush pilot, or even bush fly once n awhile. I have 250 hrs in a 172 so far, that’s all.

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

Thank you for another wonderful video. All the best from Sydney Australia. Have a good day.

[@suemarc1]

Our church sent many missionaries out over the years. I have a new appreciation for what it's REALLY like. I just discovered these "films". I was always interested in flying but got NO encouragement . I think it was a QUEST plane that visited an airport in Lancaster,Pa. and I got to ride in it! Thanks again.

[@sjha020165]

Here's your encouragement. Go learn to fly!

[@DamWG18]

church sends missionaries? what does that even mean?

I’m sure most people know this but Orbyx has some great PNG scenery adding a lot of the grass trips detailed well; believe 1 out of the 2 packs is free as well. Happy Flying!

[@aileronsintowind6835]

Unfortunately it’s only for FSX ( do people still use this ? ) and P3DV1-4 graphics wise they look ok but are in need of an update and having some Ortho scenery injected into them.

[@jonb6417]

Wow! I've said it before on your channel, I'm so envious. What a glorious place to be flying - what scenery! what experiences! what adventures! I wish you loads of good fortune for the work you do with these amazing videos, so that those of us who no longer fly can glimpse what might have been. (Actually it still might be, one day, if I can save enough spare cash for a short-term adventure!) But the mountains seem so close as you twist among them.... My flying was mainly in the UK, and in areas where there were not these dramatic valleys and peaks. Imagine a lad from Lincolnshire - where a hill is anything above a couple of metres and a mountain anything above 100 ft! - trying to cope with this kind of terrain. 😃

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I hear the new Microsoft flight sim is pretty realistic...even here in PNG!
