I would personally write it out as Mister Bush Pilot

[@davidbickford2539]

Years ago, and I mean many years ago, I was taking a break outside my shop (A&P/ IA) and watched a student practicing wheel landings with his CFI , when he nosed it over on its back. Neither were hurt, but that beautiful C-170, which I had just overhauled the engine, did the annual and painted the Aircraft was bent, not too bad, but devastating to us. The student owner, having spent thousands with me, was understandably upset. Making matters worse, there were student solos in the pattern and the airport stooges decided not to listen to myself and others on how to get the aircraft back on three wheels, wrapped a chain around the tail, down the aircraft centerline, and pulled it off the runway, twisting the tail right up under the cowling! Long story longer, I convinced the owner to sue the airport for taking a relatively inexpensive repair, into a write off. Got subpoenaed to court to testify. I took a model and used string to show how it should have been done. He won the case, and with insurance and case money, he was close to breaking even, but he was done flying, sad. I bought the 170 from the insurance company for next to nothing, and after setting up shop at another airport (management kicked me out, 😂) I rebuilt the 170, flew it a couple hundred hours, and sold it. I’m 75 now, and retired, but in my whole career, I never made more money from one single aircraft than that old Cessna 170. Sorry for the long post! And Mister Bush Pilot is great!

[@astroboy483]

Great story!

[@davidbickford2539]

@@astroboy483 Thank you! All true, I assure you!

I agree that it should definitely be spelled out Mister

[@Berghiker]

"Missionary" is a very important word in Bush Pilot. You can't leave it out.

[@Jaden48108]

It's an interesting story with a warning attached to it. The warning being third party risk is no joke.

[@edadan]

That's funny to see a pilot with 3,000 hrs smile when he does his first landing in a different airplane. Nice landing...BTW!

[@timothybuck6860]

Personally, I hope you don't change the name of the channel. You're a missionary pilot. You don't need to hide that or apologize for it. There will always be young kids who are interested in Missionary aviation who will (have) find you by searching "Missionary Pilot". In fact, that is how I found your channel. For me (and I assume others as well), your content is interesting not just because of the location or the type of flying, but for what you do and why you do it. Either way, I'll keep watching.

[@777rogerf]

The large number of missionary videos will presumably still be there, so it is not an either-or issue.

[@josephorr5175]

As a pilot, I watch a lot of various channels. That said, what attracted me originally to this one was the handle use. Period. "Missionary" adds more to the flying than just someone making a salary. And that possibility is what attracted me to start watching. And I am glad I did. Your brand is all about what you do, both in and out of the aircraft. So, if that makes some folks shy away, I'm thinking they weren't good for you anyway. Will support you in either way, but my thought is to stay what you are.

[@LilithTitan]

What an awesome teacher. He gave confidence where needed and didn't do anything to add stress to it. Fantastic job! As to your idea about changing the name, it makes sense. Missionary is limiting if you want to expand. In my humble opinion, go for it considering it makes sense.

[@slidewaze]

I was going to write the same thing! Inspiring and fun!

[@stratotramp6243]

Every day is a chance to learn something new!

[@johnvanantwerp2791]

I like the new name and agree that it will help with possible business goals. Being a missionary is in your heart, not in your name.

[@Sir_Viver]

It would be nice to hear a plug in every video for the mechanics at JAARS and MAF and other missions organisations who kept your airplane safe for you. They are barely making it and could never afford their own airplane.

[@bigkenny66]

Mr Bush Pilot sounds good too, we already know where your heart is brother.

[@davejob630]

My Father was involved with MAF, I remember him spending time up in Papua..... he was a pilot and aviation safety expert and writer. I think I may have a collection of MAF's old magazine somewhere. I think he spent more time on taildraggers than conventional...Charlie Alpha Sierra was a wonderful C170 that he had use of, from DCA, to expedite his role as air safety investigator and writer of the "Crash comic" - The Aviation Safety Digest... I spent many happy hours as a child in that aircraft.

[@fastjet714]

Full respect to this instructor , what a professional, so nice to see :)

[@ENergyJimP]

When I was growing up it was called "furlough," so now it's "home assignment." You are a bush pilot, so the potential name change is truthful, and I understand your marketing logic. That said, you are a missionary. Personally , I'll watch either channel name. It'll be fun following you this year, and when the time comes you're back in PNG. What you've been doing there is important, even with "diminishing" pay. :)

[@davidpeters8813]

Agreed, I'll follow either one, but don't ignore the "missionary" part - God's work is more important than marketing.👍

[@Sir_Viver]

Can't be "diminishing" very much if, in this time of inflation, he's planning to buy an airplane.

[@jordonmunson8212]

I get the name change and business side of it. One thing to keep in mind and never forget is the Reason for this. Keep Him first in all you do

[@silverskaden]

No I would not change that name. It is very cool to see how many people I know that hear of you and then learn about being a missionary pilot like you. It has opened a lot of people up to this kind of thing and it is even sometimes just in conversation because they use your name.

[@johnd7129]

Love the Super Cub. I never rode in one, but I did have a ride in a Clipper, owned by a guy on my paper route. The Clipper was a couple generations removed from the Cub / Super Cub, but still with very much of a 1940s feel. As for the name change -- none of my business. You do what you think you need to do. Those of us who know you, we already know who and what you are. When the name change comes, I'll still be a subscriber.

Your experience in the Super Cub was much easier than mine in a 1946 Aeronica 7AC Champ. You had the luxury of flaps. The 7AC Champ didn't have flaps & no electric - anything. You propped it to start it 🙂

[@davidpeters8813]

That's "Mr Bush Pilot" to you! 🤣 Congrats on getting the endorsement, taildraggers are a lot of fun. You should fly a 150HP Citabria - I got a few hours in that plane. 👍 My father-in-law is a pilot and instructor, and was in PNG for many years also. He says that pilots should learn to fly in a taildragger before transitioning to a nosewheel as it develops really good skills.

[@mattb.3852]

Great video. Looking forward to seeing more (and the new plane) in the future. Mr. Bush Pilot works for a new name. Did you by chance consider just dropping the "ary"... Mission: Bush Pilot would have a nice ring to it... maybe. 🙂 Anyway, all the best.

It's really great to meet Doug, a missionary bush pilot master. I'm sure Doug could tell a lot of stories about early bush flying with the Cessna 185. Thank You Doug for your willingness to serve. Ryan, you are a natural flying a tail wheel aircraft. It seamed odd seeing you fly a 1950s Piper Super Cub with no digital technology. That Super Cub is a beautiful airplane for sure. It was great to see Ethnos 360 home base as well. Thanks Doug and Ryan! Really awesome to see two great Missionary Bush Pilots together.

[@billjobes1851]

In a previous life I did a lot of branding and naming, especially of television program titles. My take is that "Mr. Bush Pilot" is absolutely perfect, and the way to go forward. Way to go ! And it still perfectly defines what you do when flying in PNG or other remote venues. So, grab the title now on all digital platforms.

[@tonyjohns7310]

I hear you on the "missionary" thing. The default connotation is "proselyting" and it really misses all of the service work that missionaries do (full disclosure: I was a missionary years ago for a different faith that I have since disavowed, so I understand the perspective). To me, "Mr. Bush Pilot" is acceptably bland and might make it easier to get financial backing, but I wonder if there's another option out there that might preserve the connection to your family's service and still offer some flexibility for your business interests (the switch panel, sim courses, and so forth). Anecdotally, the more successful pilot vlogs tend to have their channel names have a personal touch, so maybe BushPilotRyan might be more enticing to new viewers and sponsors (and it'd be a cinch to incorporate the BPR acronym into your logo). Just a thought. Good luck with the plane purchase!

I'm not sure about the name Mr. Bush pilot, not to be offensive, but it denotes seniority.

[@v1rotait23]

Hi Ryan, I'm with you on the name change to "Mister Bush Pilot" and you finding a plane for your needs. Watching your "Cub experience" took me back to 1998 when I did my tail-dragger rating in a very similar and freshly rebuilt Super Cub, here in NZL (ZK-BNL). I loved it very much and cherished the time flying it. Sadly now, the flying's been stopped for well over 12 years now, and I don't know what miracle is going to be needed to get me airborne again, but I still keep the faith something will get my CPL cleaned and refreshed in good time. Blessings to you, Chelsea and your children. David

[@Aran2323]

Well hello Mr. Bush Pilot! I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I absolutely love them. I'm especially excited to see what you get up to in the future! I don't blame you for changing your channel name at all, I think that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do! I'll say that I'm not a religious person, and I really appreciate the fact that your videos always focused on flying first and foremost, and I never felt like you were pushing anything on your audience :) It's too bad that you feel like you have to change your name, but, as you said, that's the world we live in. Whatever happens, I'll keep enjoying your videos, and best of luck to you!

[@matthewj3294]

That was really fun to watch, and it looked like you were having a great time Ryan. Your first landing looked picture perfect. I learned to fly in a brand new PA-38 Piper Tomahawk; it even had the "new airplane smell." lol! After I soloed, I transitioned to a Cessna 150E, the last year for the straight vertical stabilizer and mechanical flaps. The technique that Doug had you practice with pulling in flaps on takeoff was pretty much a standard procedure in the 35-40C heat where I learned to fly. I used to tell people it was like hitting the up button in an express elevator. Of all the planes I've flown, that old orange & white C150 holds a special spot in my heart. If you change the name of the channel I respectfully suggest you spell out Mister instead of using the common abbreviation. Visually, it has a similar appearance as the word Missionary. Just a thought... Keep us posted on your new airplane... that sounds like a bunch of fun!
