THE High Sierra FLY-IN! 🎉Party in the DESERT!!!🎆🔥

[@WendelltheSongwriter]

As you trek this journey, pause to consider that you two are the actual embodiment of many of our fantasies, in one form or another, And by that I mean soaring off into the horizon day in and day out just because, because that's what you are absolutely compelled to do. We all are compelled to or by something, and we dig seeing how you've chosen to make the trip. Thanks again.

[@FLY8MA]

We're both very grateful to have these ongoing opportunities. Thanks for checking us out!

[@HookedOnUtah]

Steph is so fun to watch... Keep it up! You both Rock!

[@FLY8MA]

Thanks for tagging along with us!

[@JasonRiley276]

So thats what those blacks pieces of material on the shoulder straps are for. I learnt something new today :)

[@johnwayne6501]

really enjoy your video. I live in Portland, OR and just love to one day go to the high desert event one day. Thanks for sharing.

[@wrongwayfeldman5393]

Draco's bird is insane

[@donemory7459]

👍. Thanks guys! Nice landings Steph & Jon! Don. :-)

[@FLY8MA]

Thanks Don!

[@Thrust-Set-Simulations]

In the simulator, flying over that ridge and down into Bodad is quite something, after finding it, that is, what a blast that was. Thanks for giving us the real life version.

[@EricMinio]

Thanks for sharing. Cheers from BC, Canada!

[@FLY8MA]

Cheers, Eric! Thanks for checking us out!

[@tompinnef6331]

Thank you for another great video. Some great locations to fly to.

[@FLY8MA]

Thanks for checking it out, Tom!

[@bbt95762]

@4:46 nice landing!

[@j.muckafignotti4226]

That cowling has bumps, thar be power lurkin within,!

[@warrengrafton2311]

Planning for the HSF this year. Was it worth bringing the fatbikes and how do you put two in the back of the 170?

[@Chris-hq7nl]

I know there are tons of these comments on every one of your videos, but 62D is an exceptionally beautiful airplane. I love 170’s just like any other pilot but 62D is one of the best.

[@FLY8MA]

Thanks Chris! It's treated us well!

[@DreadnautVS]

We were in the Camo Broussard at 4:30 in your video =)

[@FLY8MA]

Nice! Awesome airplane!!!! Would love to have one someday

[@ik04]

I've been fishing at Bodad... Not a fun place in the Summer, but nice in the Spring and Fall!

[@FLY8MA]

Looking forward to going back!

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

This is from last years event right? You guys are freaking me out ;)

[@FLY8MA]

Hahaha...sry, finally getting caught up on video editing now that we're back in Alaska. Lot's more to come! I'll be posting more frequently to get caught up!

[@rodeosound]

Fly eight Mike alpha......

[@appcarpenter1]

Welcome to my back yard.

[@FLY8MA]

Quite a great backyard, isn't it?

[@HoleInTheClouds]

Love the video’s! Glad to be the first to watch 😁

[@FLY8MA]

Cheers! We'll have to come up with a first comment prize!

[@1shARyn3]

Your watch is the same one worn by pilots of the F-117 and B-2 :-D

[@jamescarroll6954]

Great vid, as usual. Draco was just in a magazine--forget which. Maybe I'll catch with you IRL sometime. I'll be at OSH this year for the first time. Not a pilot, though.

[@FLY8MA]

Say hi at Oshkosh! Look for the trailer!

[@mysteryY2K]

I think the video could be improved by making the music volume lower and cutting the music during flight scenes. Otherwise great stuff!

[@knussear]

Agreed I turn it up to hear the radio calls and then get blasted when it switches to all music.

[@Laywaste]

Great area and nice video. Just did my first solo cross country to Susanville and over flew most of what you had in there. Proud Fly8MA ground school grad as well!

[@FLY8MA]

Love hearing that, Thomas! How did the solo trip out go?

[@Laywaste]

@@FLY8MA Everything went great! progressing toward my certificate at a good pace now that the weather is better! Can't wait to be able to fly myself to Dead Cow this October. Driving out there sucks!

[@FLY8MA]

Oh I bet, happy to hear it's all progressing well though!

[@Mike7478F]

2018 catch up. Kuul video and intetesting sights n sounds. Keep safe.

[@FLY8MA]

Lot's more coming as the editing catches up!

[@saratogapilot6100]

Thanks for stopping at KRTS. Come back any time.

[@FLY8MA]

Thanks! Will do!

[@alschwartz8732]

helo shows up for a STOL event- Alpha move

[@rdlez]

Jon, due to the volume of the background music I missed your cockpit chatter which I for one enjoy hearing.

[@bilalsajid1792]

0:10 Here comes the BoSS

[@thedilettantegamer8860]

Steph got her cub, as long is your overhead and squint.

[@mysteryY2K]

Also, Lofi Hiphop. That'd be a mighty fine choice of music for your videos. I understand that you have to find un-copyrighted stuff though.

[@buckbuchanan5849]

Always enjoy your videos! Music overlay,, eh

[@stevet8121]

Love the video! You two are so fun together! What's the deal with Draco? That plane is a beast.

[@GarryOzols]

OH yeah, if you haven't already watch the Draco build videos, not only a beast but a masterpiece of over engendering :-)

[@cfeigel]

For the unfamiliar, Mike Patey put a GT6 turboprop engine in a wilga bush plane. It is indeed, a beast. Fascinating to watch him face off in the STOL Drag competition against an extremely lightweight modified kit Fox. Two ends of the spectrum. Which will win?

[@AN2Felllla]

“We’re not too far behind on the vlogs” John, said in 2018, with the episode coming out mid 2019

[@FLY8MA]

Lol, we weren't until we started having too much fun!

[@charlesseymour1482]

What is cfi?

[@FLY8MA]

It stands for Certified Flight Instructor

[@brycedenning130]

Seeing Draco there, I was a little shocked. Guy probably shouldn’t be flying just yet again after what happened But when you said 2018, that made sense...

[@jonwade7641]

Bryce Denning What happened with Draco?

[@brycedenning130]

@@jonwade7641 Not to Mike Patey, but his friend Kevin Carroll died on Sunday www.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/c7q8z4/mike_patey_of_draco_fames_friend_kevin_carroll_is/

[@PatagoniaBushPilots]

Patagonia september 20 is your next feature !!!!

[@FLY8MA]

Hope to get down there sometime soon!

[@PatagoniaBushPilots]

@@FLY8MA hooe u can soon

[@f2air]

You're gonna have to add Steph to your intro! Awesome as always, living the dream? so jelly, hate you guys ❤️

[@FLY8MA]

Haha...ya, nothing but first world problems here. Super grateful to be living in the States and able to have these experiences!

[@f2air]

Well, thanks for sharing and keeping the dream alive. Safe flying.

[@lonnieholcomb2078]

Good video, but music is walking all over the talking

[@leekarr5044]

Exactly. The music was killing everything. Great video otherwise.

[@whoanelly737-8]

Is there a special "sound" for irritating KZbin music?

[@leekarr5044]

Nice video, but please tone down the music a bit. It was killing everything!
