Low and slow home from Oshkosh, we flew by MT Rushmore with our kitfox bush airplane. It was really awesome to see Mount Rushmore from the air. Jason broke his header tube in his Rans s6 Coyote. Steve Henry and his Yeehaw 7 Highlander, Cory Robin and his Ghost Carbon cub, Kevin Quinn and his Carbon cub, Hal stockman with his Rans s7, and Trent Palmer with his freedom fox. and one awesome Cessna 180. It was the most awesome cross country trip I have ever done in my airplane!

Hey guys! I need to take a break on the editing. 😵 And, I need to keep building my plane! So I’m going to skip a week. but we’ll be back! Thanks for the support!

[@77Avadon77]

Excellent video! So much fun

[@77Avadon77]

Those flies are awful. Reminds me of a Time when one of my girlfriends and I decided to jump into a lake in Michigan. It had a sign that said swim at your own risk. I thought well I'm a pretty strong swimmer so what the hell. We felt some weird biting in the water. I thought it was little minnows. We swam out to the buoy and then came back. When we got out of the water we were covered in leeches and had to pull them all off each other. It was very disturbing. Later that day when I check the GPS the name of the lake was Leech Lake. 😑

[@JonasMarcinko]

77Avadon77 omg that sounds terrible! but a good story! Lol leech lake.

[@JonasMarcinko]

77Avadon77 I would have done the same thing!

[@77Avadon77]

@@JonasMarcinko yes apparently when using the Garmin GPS it pays to zoom out so you can see the titles of bodies of water LOL otherwise a very inviting Lake on a map is too good to turn up. After we got out we realized why the sign said swim at your own risk and why nobody else was swimming. LOL the worst thing is pulling those leashes off of you because when you pull them off they stick to your hands, you really have to fling them to get them off. But such are the things of Great Adventures. I can tell by your videos you're not only a great pilot but a great editor. These types of videos take a lot of planning

[@carolhayes6690]

Thanks so much for taking me along on your adventure

[@patalexander1965]

Jonas, Silvija, I say to you! Water town, gopher hole, that thing that sticks out,it's a pipe, always ready, flies, and right now right now! I did not know one could become addicted to a guy flying around with a sweet pretty girl in a airplane, but I did! For 13 minutes and 27 seconds your audience were glued to the screen! That music, your buddies landing, flying in and out of some great scenery, set the mood for your followers! Can't wait till the next one!

[@joeziegler9054]

In the south those flies are called Yellow Flies! They will bite the piss out of you! Never seen that many in one spot though. Enjoyed this series of videos. You my friend are living the dream! Keep up the great work Jonas!!

[@JonasMarcinko]

Thanks Joe!

Jonas and Sylvia. Please don't let this end. More adventures, hot springs, camping at that strip in Utah etc. You Inspire me to do it too.

[@cq7415]

Fun to watch. Mt Rushmore, landing on dirt roads, pretty high mountains near end. Thanks for sharing.

[@39MercFlathead]

1973 I had been working at Ft. Meade near Sturgis for a week and got a Frontier flight back to Denver in a Convair 580 (50 seat twin turboprop). The pilots did a flyby of Mt. Rushmore for each side of the plane to see a lot closer than you guys got. We were all thrilled. I hoped they still had their tickets after we got to Denver. Great sight! Great video!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Looked like horseflies - they suck! Like mosquitos, only they hurt, and your skin puffs up about the size of a quarter where they bite. They like warm, moving bodies - will drive you nuts, as you probably realized, lol. We've got them up here in MA, too, only a bit smaller. They bounce off the top of my head as I mow the lawn with a zero turn. Seems the faster you go, the more relentless they become! AWESOME vid, Jonas! It's not often I get to see the West, and nothing beats seeing it from the air at low altitude. Been great watching all you guy's videos! THANKS!! 😎👍👍🍻

[@drogers5511]

Its encouraging to see the support lended to the experimental pilot community with help for your radiator cap issue and the various spontaneous landings all of your group had to endure. Thank you for documenting the trip.

[@boatrvme8478]

I've been out of flying for 12 yrs but you have me wanting to get back in it! Nice vids!

[@stephenwalters8061]

Thanks for sharing your 'Great Big Adventure'. Still the best VLOG from within your group of 'low and slow to Oshkosh'. The camera work, wide range of angles of view, the action portrayed and editing all come together for an excellent visual experience. Congratulations.

[@mdsd77]

Totally dig seeing America from your point of view, couldn't help thinking massive herds used to roam those lands at one time. Excellent vids, excellent adventures, thanks!

[@gaylemesser136]

Great show folks. I might have to get a bush plane. They make the Zenith just 30 miles east of here. Maybe I can get Santa to put one in my stocking near the hearth. Yeah, that's it. Take care folks and be safe. Vaughn

[@maiquecorreagarcia9854]

Perfect... I am glad to see you having good time and sharing it with us. Thankyou Jonas and Sylvija! #BestVlogger!!!

[@merkster12]

Amazing video. First off, flying with Hal is like wrapping yourself in a warm, fluffy security blanket. You just feel safe cause he can fix anything. Second, I love when you are flying over the lake and you talk about landing and hiking in. Fat tire flying at its best. Thanks for taking us along. YOU ROCK!

[@ISPYU168]

Ultimate safety feature having an angel as your copilot. Really enjoy your videos thanks for taking me with you, keep up the good work!

[@wsgrabowski]

The segment between 6:55 min and 9:36 is epic! The musical accompaniment to "Real Good Feeling" really gets the toes to tapping. You have a real talent for composition. Please keep it up.

[@MrJack9mm]

Great video Jonas! I noticed that you fly with IFly, I've been using it for about five years now and love how easy and intuitive it is . Glad to see Silvija on the controls. I believe anyone flying with you on a regular basis needs to know basic maneuvers to get down as safe as possible in case your incapacitated.

[@JonasMarcinko]

Yes it’s a great GPS unit! And I totally agree. I said the exact same thing to her, to get her to start learning. I’ll probably have a video out about teaching her to fly.

[@kellputt51]

I think they were horse flies... good video... nice job... my second time here.. more to come i hope

[@TD-cb9lu]

It is a great joy to watch your videos. By the way, they are called "horse flies" and their bite is aggressive and hurts like hell. They are usually around in the hot and humid summer when you are sweating or swimming.

[@AidanGallagher]

LOVE your channel and can't wait to buy a plane and bush fly!

[@JonasMarcinko]

Thanks! Would be cool to give you some pointers when you get flying!

[@DBartWest]

Great video. Beautiful country (especially loved Mt. Rushmore). Beautiful people. Great editing. Epic trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@josiatokirina1788]

How to waterproof a small airplane. "A simple waterproof cover over canopy"! Great advice from my dad, who restored aircraft including a 1942 L4 Piper Cub and a 1929 Brunner Winkle Bird biplane and a pilot of 65 years.

[@JonasMarcinko]

Josi Atokirina I definitely need to get one!

[@portnuefflyer]

@@JonasMarcinko The Kitfox issue is, as I recall from my model 1 anyway, is the windshield dumps water underneath the boot cowl, it doesn't overlap the boot cowl! ANY water hitting the windshield will end up inside pretty much.

[@JonasMarcinko]

portnuefflyer yeah exactly! :/

[@builditright4666]

LOL you two running from the Killer fly's reminds me of early Steven King movies. And I gotta say them two girls bring out the best of you and Trent nice work there.

[@nelsonashbrook765]

That has got to be one of the coolest girls ever! Always laughing, smiling, willing to enjoy everything and completely supportive. If you woke up broke and homeless tomorrow she seems like the kind of person that would smile and say its going to be ok and I love you.

[@machsaga5141]

She's laughing, smiling, willing to enjoy everything, etc PRECISELY BECAUSE Jonas projects a confident, fearless, fun-loving aviator personality more than anything else - and she is there to soak in all of that positive energy as any GF would in this case. In my book, Jonas is the one that gets the credit haha. He is the one causing it.

[@yepme6484]

The video and the music really matched great job, thumbs up" to infinity and beyond ".

Deer flies. And they have an unforgettable bite.

[@jeffburnham6611]

Yup, worse than horseflies. They're unmistakable in appearance. I think that "spring water" was actually from a drainage tile for the field. Farmers use tiles to drain excess water off their fields for soil conservation.

Deer flies, but where I live horse flies hurt way more and are much bigger. Then there is the buffalo fly bigger yet.
