I Found a CRASHED PLANE

[@SR22T_Pilot]

Hey Ryan, being videographer myself, great job! Lots of editing, lots of footage. I feel your pain, it worth it! 🎉🎉🎉 please don’t give up, it takes time when people noticed it. Keep telling the story about indigenous people, this is more than just an aviation. US citizens don’t realize how hard the life can be.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks so much!!

[@onegreatpilot]

Great thing that you added ground action footage...quite interesting watching how the background operations of your flights are. Thanks for your amazing videos. There is a lot of learning information in every single one.

[@leslievalenti]

Being a Missionary Bush Pilot is a lot of hard work! I love how the kids are facinated watching you! I love your youtube channel!

[@ronlaugsburger6991]

I spent 8 years in PNG 1977-1987 one of my mission tasks was to keep Jungle based missionaries supplied by air, sea, river, road and porters. Much of time was by air. Came a cross lots of wrecks both Japanese and allied. I also put my hands on a few. Thanks to the bush pilots serving all over the world a special breed.

[@markbarrett7520]

Ryan, your videos are getting better and better each time. This one is top notch for sure! Great camera footage of P2-NTM in action. Also enjoyed angles from inside the cargo pod. Thanks Ryan and Stuart.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thank you

[@stevekirk8546]

Another great video - all in a day's work bush flying in PNG! I really enjoy seeing what happens on the ground and the footage was very well edited with the mixture of camera, drone and helicopter coverage - very effective. A very atmospheric flight back Goroka - you make look so easy Ryan.

[@DrDoid0420]

Awesome vid, Ryan. Love the cloud flying. I love seeing all those children down on the ground and all excited about airplanes and helicopters that was really cool. Be safe God bless

[@stevereightler4126]

Loved this video! Showing how you tied down the coffee reminded me of my time as a C-130 load master - having to calculate load restraint and CG. Tried some of excellent PNG coffee recently.

[@Rogue-7.62]

That is the tail section of a B-24 Liberator, upside down with both vertical fins torn off. Interesting find. The rest of the plane could be anywhere within a mile more or less, depending on what altitude it was at when that piece got blown off. Most likely in combat. The rear turret is also missing, but you can make out where it was.

[@BeckVMH]

Interesting. Thanks for the description. I was able to web it for further info and comparison.

[@rdbjrseattle]

Not knowing if it was front or back of crashed plane the fuselage looked stubby. Makes sense it’s the rear now that you mention it.

[@BrianYakaip]

Great job Captain...May God bless you and your family because of a such kind and diligence heart you have towards your your mission to cater Papua New Guineans needs whom they resides in remote zones...😍💯👋👋

[@frankbruno7122]

So well done! I love seeing the local people who rely on your flights! Vest best! Frank in Colorado

[@tctcpa]

I’m just amazed at how much you have to know to be able to safely and successfully do your job. Your skills and knowledge are just incredible. I love your videos. You seem like a really fine person. I’m grateful for that.

[@ro4317]

Thanks for the ground portion and helicopter footage. Love your work.

[@andyfehr3462]

Love both - on the ground and the flying, Have spent a lot of time in Haiti and can relate to the kids swarming the plane. The Heli footage is great as well. God Bless!

[@will_274]

I admire the work you do there helping a local community. Great work with the cinematography.

[@gregoryrizer]

Loved the video Ryan thanks for sharing it with us. I get so excited when I get a notification for your channel thank you. God bless you and your family and may God be with you on all your journeys.

[@Jonnyrocket51]

Excellent video Ryan!

[@rowanm4074]

Great thing that you added ground action footage...quite interesting more of that would be cool

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Good to know

[@kingfisch]

Great video. I really enjoyed the whole episode. So much went into it. Thanks for sharing. I liked all of it. 🙏

[@v1rotait23]

Ryan, thanks for a superb and very varied episode of a busy bush pilot day! Just superb drone and chopper footage around the village. Seeing all the kids is lovely and no doubt, the highlight of their day is seeing all the sweet smelling turbine machinery arrive in their back yard. Great decision making enroute back to Goroka! Cheers from NZL, David.

[@Herschel3991]

The cloud layer sandwich view just never gets old

[@wayne9638]

these are my favorite videos, so great to see how you handle weather

[@soniklabstudios]

As always Ryan great to hear your thought process as you navigate your way over PNG. Loved the footage of the R66, would be great to see you go on a flight with them. Hope the fam are all well and settling back to PNG life.

[@lesleehackenson7897]

Very interesting and instructive! Love the vision into other ways of life! Thank you for your efforts in bringing this to everyone’s attention!

[@williegillie5712]

Thanks Ryan. Enjoyed seeing how to navigate through papa New Guinea on a heavier clouded day. I always enjoy flying with ya

[@airmailman1971]

Another great video. Thanks for showing it.

[@graemeburke4955]

Excellent video, Ryan, always informative and insightful. Totally enjoyed it!

[@lauriesue2244]

Appreciate the technical details, your head process, and the beautiful terrain

[@jamesmcclarty-miller]

Great vids and great insight/experience for flying in PNG. Can't wait till the next one

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OneMoreBurn]

The flying is cool but I wish you’d also talk with the locals and share more of their stories!

[@BarinDo-o4q]

God Bless you guys, you are our hero. Stay healthy and enjoy your great job.

[@PaulGarthAviation]

Great video. I appreciate you're including the voice-over to complete everything. Also... Exciting to see 300K about to pop.

[@wideawake11]

Great video Ryan, you really went the third mile with the photography of/in the helicopter at the beginning. Is Josh the helicopter pilot the same guy who flew the Kodiak with you back in 2020?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes same guy. This was Stuart flying in this video,but Josh got the plane wreck footage

[@ronhatcher7734]

Enjoyed that one.

[@kiwisafa101]

worked on the PNG LNG pipelay (offshore) as a diver / diver tech. Spin wing from PMB to Omati, refuel try find barge offshore, no go, 2 more times try, no go, fly back to PMB, sleep same thing in the morning, 3rd attemp in the arvo, whoa clean sky and there the barge was, landed, refuelled the spin wing, and away it went - some NZ company on the choppers - air works?

[@daveogarf]

Cool music, Ryan! And great flight.

[@SkyborneVisions]

Really enjoyed this video! The extra camera angles and footage from the drone and helo and cargo bays really made it awesome! Nice to see the little white dot up close too. Do you know the background on that wreckage? Great job on continuing your narration after your audio went out--very seamless. Did you use a special audio filter or jump in another plane and narrate through your headset while watching the clips you had already edited?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I don't know any details on the wreck unfortunately. I looked, but couldn't find anything. And yes, I edited.it, then did a voice over the footage so that the sound was the same

[@calvynvandenberg6943]

Great video.👍

[@nofider1]

Thank you Ryan. Really enjoyed this video.... very interesting. :-)

[@tomspettel3646]

Thats great when you show Aircraft/airfields from WWII

[@billjobes1851]

Production values, particularly the super variety of shots, are impressive !

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidsakai786]

God bless you capt.🙏🙏🙏

[@167curly]

Glad your passengers wereredy for your arrival.

[@terryc47]

Fantastic video, loved the new format. Helicopter cam was awesome

[@RidgeDogRoxx]

All that rudder input on takeoff made it look like you were pedaling a bicycle. Wow...

[@brucejohnston4908]

Excellent, love the running commentary and explanations!

[@CheerfulCamera-nj8ow]

Rayan Thank you I really enjoyed this video Just an amazing flight ✈️ you make it look so easy I know it’s not Bravo My best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode!

[@ahoytheremate1954]

this is so cool a load master and pilot hands on like the army cheers mate im buying some of that coffee

[@victorindian4158]

Nice flight and great mountain and forest views.

[@mash5702]

excellent footage thanx

[@leelaaiyappa6277]

Nice post👍

[@freedomforever6718]

This was very informative, interesting and a pleasure to see more of what you do. Fascinating! Thanks.

[@Bacardibatman]

Deffo enjoy a bit more on the ground stuff Ryan, but you can only do what you can do. when I saw all that coffee up the front I was a tad concerned for a second 😆. Do those Robinsons scare anyone else? been up in microlights and not worried, those helis ......I'm like no thanks

[@abbelevrac]

Wow.. I wouldn't leave the Robinson very sensitive flight controls unmanned.. the slightest wind breeze could tilt the rotor and unsafe situations could occur.. thank god it didn't.. be safe out there

[@delalima]

i really liked more time on the ground , loading the cargo

[@MisterPukluk]

Cool. I think I figured out how to tie several sea flying nodes. Thanks for new video from green PNG 😍 12:52 ww2 plane

[@Ultrarmx]

What were the coordinates of the crash site?

[@ChiliStyles]

I enjoyed this style of video.

[@mcivordawn9105]

Loved the content today Ryan. Could you give an update on the project where a new building was being done to house the mower/coffee etc underneath. On top was a charging station for phones and a meeting room. The other was the airstrip that needed repair, a lot of stuff was ferried in by chopper, matting and pipes to run water off the strip. Would love an update on both those…..thank you Roger

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes I shot a video out there last week. Coming soon

[@mcivordawn9105]

Excelllent, thank you

[@colinferrell4954]

Thanks great trip......

[@ranjitsian5481]

Good work 👍

[@waynelaw8999]

Liked the extra content

[@larrygraff6472]

Great Flying Ryan!

[@josephvanda2172]

Thanks. For the ride

[@PrabhashMuthukumarana]

Hey Ryan can u do a whole series where u find all the parts of the bomber and probably explore them and try getting some souvenirs from them? 😀 (maybe even try and get all the parts fixed into the real legend)

[@ronlaugsburger6991]

You will need permts to visit the sites. Your not allowed to take souvenirs. The last time I touched one it came apart in my hands.

[@mj6962]

You say you like to sing Karoka? (Muted trumpet playing whaa whaa whaaaa!)

[@wpherigo1]

Gineau Ocean Rover! Nice choice!

[@DanielWiley]

KEWL video, Ryan. Thanks

[@hardware1197]

Microsoft FSX used to havea "missions" feature - This has the potential to be an awesome series of mission flights in MSFS2020 with the Kodiak from SimWorks Studios

[@leonardsil7032]

Ah Ryan oh tankiu stret lo sowim country blo me 💯😔❤️😭. So much respect for you chief 💯

[@jerryfischer3988]

Another great video 😊

[@SaschaMacDonald]

Thank u for your content. I like watching ur videos and seeing your professionalism operating in this beautifull but rough environment. What watch are u wearing? Love this peace in connection with this strap every time seeing it in ur videos.

[@aNf0m0f0]

Awesome man thanks for the upload!

[@joefalcon870]

great stuff thanks for sharing

[@SoDogtravels]

So much respect for you guys

[@2airwolv]

Very much enjoyed the video

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Starboatbuilder]

Hi Do you take the kids for a quick tour around the valley? You shold be able to sdouble stack. They all look very happy.

[@welstonylins3400]

Bom dia comandante like show do Brasil

[@TicTacToe3511]

Hi Ryan Great Video you are great to fly with ..Peter ex Qantas retired Perth WA😊

[@robertsanders6463]

Thank yo Ryan!

[@sevenmile]

Wow, just Wow! I am so excited to have found your channel! Way back in 1990 I had the tremendous experience of flying from PDX to Port Moresby to Lae to Kimbe on West New Britain with NTM on a short term building project. A multi hour ride in the back of an overloaded truck out of Kimbe, and a 20 minute Heli ride to our final destination. 2 cyclones, washed out bridges, rascals, camp guards with spears and bows, children singing, all night pig roasting.....your video brought back so many memories. Subscribed, and will scratch together some Patreon cash. You show some amazing flying skills. When I ride right seat in my Brother-in-law's Kitfox, I like flat ground and clear skies!!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I fly for NTM and am out in West New Britain this week. Cool stuff and welcome

[@sevenmile]

@@MissionaryBushPilot Sorry to bug you again - but is it possible that the place I went to in New West Britain was called Kiaku or similar? thanks

[@harrynikken]

Respect Ryan for the great work you do in PNG! But I just keep asking myself how come these single engined planes are allowed to fly there? If your one engine fails you are going down in unforgiving terrain. No redundancy! I am a seafarer doing dynamic positioning work. Everything related to navigation and maneuvering is triple redundant as a requirement by the IMCA. And in the unlikely event that everything fails we are still floating. And if we sink the rescue options are also redundant. You must have a lot of confidence in that one engine (and in the maintenance crew)

[@rdbjrseattle]

Where can I get data about the vertical and horizontal accuracy of your terrain imagery? Screen on right side of cockpit.

[@user-Womanizer]

Hey did anybody see the white thing gliding down the mountain somewhere at 15:10 What is that? Or probably it was just water droplets on the windshield?

[@nicknicholson1268]

Amazing mission, thank you for having me onboard. Collateral question, if I may (just because I was drooling) 😉 Can I ask you for a discount coupon/deal for the great Ginault Ocean Rover (or Silent Service)? Much appreciated and cheers from Sydney.

[@joshmyeraviation]

How safe us flying a drone around aircraft like this. Would like to do it on my grandpas airstrip.

[@SkyborneVisions]

Kind of like any formation flying. Discuss strategy/plans with the pilot ahead of time: like determine what side of runway you'll stay on at different phases of operations so the pilot doesn't have to worry about hitting you. Get a transceiver (or at least receiver) so you can hear pilot communicating with you. Caution: wake turbulence.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Exactly what 👆 said. The only thing the helicopter pilot didn't want was me too close or flying overhead the rotors in case the drone decided to stop flying

[@KARO69GRP]

Lovely...

[@AnsgarRedenius]

How fun to see Tarabo on the map. My wife was born in Goroka and lived in Tarabo as a child (MK). Is the strip there open? It wasn't when we visited Goroka in 93.

[@paulnielsen3525]

What kind of knots are you tying to hold the coffee down?

[@RankupAviation]

How are you not scared with some of your landings 😂

[@SoDogtravels]

So cool and I want some coffee

[@jeffm8442]

Let’s get some GoPro’s on that motorcycle of yours and post a couple rides!

[@kevinberry5793]

Good video

[@AirwavesEnglish]

Hello Ryan.😎Does the pilot that flies the Robbie have a YT channel we could follow too? Excellent video as usual!🥳

[@billwilliams9527]

Great video, really enjoyed it. A wonderful break from U.S politics.

[@brinjal1371]

Which is good flight school in Canada to become bush pilot?

[@madmanmechanic8847]

That blows my mind a single engine turbo prop can haul that much weight

[@douggale5962]

You know a pilot is good when they feel guilty for landing a bit long.

[@adrianportugal2014]

what watch is he wearing! Looks really nice!

[@RubenKelevra]

Will you get the next gen Starlink antenna (just announced)? Would be neat to have Wi-Fi to pull the latest weather info and radar images in split seconds, and it should be light enough to be a no-brainer - I think.
