The Worst Place Ever to Crash a Plane

[@Chris_the_Muso]

I'm not sure what the crashed plane would be. The empennage is way too small for a DC-3 but the Australians used some smaller aircraft to try to get supplies to areas like the Buna-Gona track, often without success. I'm thinking it might be a Vultee Vengeance which would seem to fit the square profile of the horizontal stabilisers and the rake of the elevators, and we (the Australians) had about 400 of them by 1942. Just guessing. The vengeance wasn't good for short field operations, which might be why they often tried air drops. It is bad country to be fighting in.

[@synchroduv]

What a beautiful country.

[@rexfordluke1480]

Thank you for the jouney. ✔💯 Mad respect for Missionary/Bush pilots serving in my beautiful country 🇵🇬

[@zookyzooky]

Doing a great job, Your follower from Kuwait 🇰🇼

[@PDNH]

Thanks for the red arrows pointing things out. I wasn't able to pick out the runway from the ridges and valleys.

[@danmclaughlin5776]

Another great flight Ryan! I can only imagine how many lives you’ve touched there in PNG and here online!

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Thanks Ryan, love the channel. Love to see different cultures and peoples, i noticed the little children, so curious and excited when you land, just like children are all over the world. Probably the lil children could solve 90 % of the worlds problems and become friendly one with another.... It could be SO simple! ❤💯🙏

[@Nathan-vp1ug]

i love the time lapse flight back to Goroka.

[@justinbouchard]

16:43 this whole valley just looks pretend. it's unreal

[@stevekirk8546]

Totally agree - even in simmulation the scenery in the Highlands of PNG is stunning!

[@lydiar8416]

Thank you for sharing these videos! Incredible scenery, fascinating, inspiring... as well as being reassuring for nervous fliers too!

[@wawaT100]

Watching your videos as a Papua New Guinean really breaks my heart, seeing my own people living in remotest area...Thanks for the exposure sir. God bless.

[@robertdesantis6205]

Condolences on recent landslide. 😢

[@wawaT100]

​@@robertdesantis6205 appreciate your message Sir. Natural disaster is one of the worst things anyone can imagine.

[@nofider1]

Hey Ryan. Love those timelapse outro's. Thank you. Ever thought of putting a timelapse compilation together with that cool music. :-)

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I have thought about making some, but not sure if it's worth my time

[@istvanbally2817]

You make all this look easy when it ain't.

[@johnl.8638]

I love the music during the fast-forward session.

Watching again, the speeded up fly back shows the value of you doing these clips. It showed how the clouds had changed and your prediction was right that the the cloud would break up and rise and the Goroka Valley would be open was spot on. Hard earnt local knowledge is a wonderful thing. After watching your channel for over three years I've learnt a huge amount in flight simmulation. PNG is a remarkable and challenging place to fly and your techniques for flying into ridge gaps in cloudy conditions works so well - I'm confident with it now. The other day I was flying from Madang to Goroka via the Asaloka Gap with troublesome cloud which eventually blanked me out on a cautious approach. In a wide open valley a slow 360 degree turn presented me with a gap to the left of the Asaloka with no high ground behind. Passing through the Goroka Valley opened up below me - the relief was was palpable. Thanks Ryan, you do an amazing job - for us simmers to experience what you do is amazing.

[@sammahasona]

I enjoy the return part so much. Amazing!

[@memafukapera9573]

Awesome. Learnt a lot from your videos with the detailed rundowns and inflight communications from takeoff to landing. Safe Flights. GOD BLESS.

[@MrNice-gw5dt]

fun flight thx Capt. Ryan!

[@kingfisch]

Beautiful flight!🙏

[@kevchilton908]

WOW! And I thought I could fly! What amazing skills 👌🏻

[@mikebarnett1908]

Loved the video.. I am thankful that you, with your flying skills, would make yourself available to provide such vital service to the missionaries out in the remote areas. You, my friend, are just as important.. Loving my Coffee Table Book.. Thank you for all that you do...

[@challenger2aircraftadventures]

Excellent video. BTW, I love the coffee table book! Cheers from Winnipeg.

[@rogeratygc7895]

Lovely Brocken Bow at 9:45!

[@kennethperian4370]

Great job again flyer man, I’ll have to get a book from you love to have to learn more about how the people there live. I wood love to no I sure it will be working on this and that for living. Well keep up the good work see ya next time fly safe see ya bye.

[@markbarrett7520]

I enjoyed seeing Brad take off in NTZ. Beautiful views once again on this flight. Hopefully, you can get back to riding the motorcycle again. Thanks Ryan.

[@simondale3422]

Love your Ginault Ocean Rover!

[@chriskreider7926]

Beautiful flight!

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode!

[@julianwelz4450]

And again thanks a lot for this wonderful pictures from PNG. Wish I would be there one day, but from Germany ??? 😄

[@johnny14794]

Awesome video! Stay safe and God bless.

[@BobBroeking]

Great video, to escape those ridges after take off was wild!

[@greenthing99100]

Thanks Ryan - great aviating as always. God bless, Love from Rick

Very nice musical accompaniment

[@rabh6746]

What a flight Ryan, PNG at its spectacular best👌

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you like it!

[@davidkaraki74]

I've been waiting for this one! Beautiful Ryan, thank you for sharing! Found my self drifting into thoughts of riding motorcycle on PNG when you mentioned, must be a blast to put it mildly. I regret selling my old Africa Twin, but there aren't any really wild places to ride here in Sweden even though it's beautiful. Also I've been to most places here already so I need to expand my map. Do you have any videos from you riding there? I think you posted some a long time ago. Anyway, thank you again, Can't get enough of your content.

[@richardkato]

Be safe stay strong God bless your Alaska buddy

[@jeymandoh7301]

Roland the voice of ATC in GA Twr.. Too good✊.. Love ur content bruh.. Have spoken VHF with u few flights to Aussie PY Arrivals..

[@stevekirk8546]

There were quite a lot of what looked to be fuel drums at Goroka - hopefully you might be able to keep flying for a bit longer. Another great video.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yes, those are our drum stock. We are slowing down our flying this month, but hopefully, back to normal in April

[@kengerace]

Still trying to wrap my head around power for airspeed. Straight and level if you add power you go up and vice versa. Power plays a part in airspeed yes but if I’m on short final I’m always using power to maintain altitude and pitching for speed. I couldn’t phantom doing slow flight maintaining altitude using power for speed. Anyway. Another flight well done. I do enjoy your videos. I feel it takes some big brassy ones to fly single engine VFR into box canyons and mountain valleys. Thanks for sharing.

[@seagullsbtn]

Hope you're able to take Roland, aka Mr ATC, on a flight with you sometime.

[@vivek6187]

Great effort from you to show us the wrekage. Is this considered a soft field? Cos it dint look like a soft field take off and landing.

[@robertbandusky9565]

Nice day in Payson, Arizona 😎

[@DC-zx2si]

I would love to learn to fly have been in the co pilot seat on a small plane

Its just dawned on me what I enjoy your channel apart from the flying !! The name includes ... Missionary and Bush ! Two of my favourite things !!

Thanks for being the hands, feet and wings of Christ.

[@cbeenhackker]

Thankyou for your posts! they are always incredible! What is the red thing the man pulls off of your plane after you give the sign?

[@mcivordawn9105]

Loved the flight. Has there been any resolution to the fuel crisis for the country? Regards Roger

[@martynhartley84]

Hi. I’m hearing from Wycliffe people there’s a fuel shortage pending. How would that affect yourbwork

[@richjakowski1056]

Looking at that unspoiled, storybook beauty of the PNG countryside in that crash site make we wonder why anyone on this green earth wants to go to a desolate place like Mars.

[@rizdalegend]

Got a promo code for your book?

[@LZScout1]

Can the Flight Span app be used for flight simulation? I can’t get passed the company name requirement.

[@13dazza13]

It always seems quicker coming back

[@thomasponjom9491]

Captain Ryan, how much is your coffee table album in PGK? Interested in one.

[@PCBill0622]

Maybe I missed it but did you switch back to both tanks on approach or is that not necessary?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes, it's the first item on my landing checklist

[@spekkio]

[@rexfordluke1480]

Hi Ryan 💯🇵🇬

[@tedc7714]

It would be neat to have kids day. Take them for rides. Might get a future pilot out of them. I was at fly in here local. Chopper rides. I overheard a grandma telling a yen year old she fidnt want to and didnt have the money. I told her i had the money and would go if she said ok So he sat right at the open door . Strapped in. He really will never forget it. I told him to get his grades and look me up. When he got big enough to take lessons. He washed planes etc all thru high school. Took lessons. Went to Purdue last i heard. Saw his gramma at wal mart. She said he was shooting for air line pilot.

[@lhallal1234]

What is the name of that app? Thanks

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

Would be fun to kayak down the Watut River; experience indigenous culture. The Watut River is full of grade 3 and grade 4 rapids through gorges and jungle. The rapids have interesting names BARAAHP (Between A Rock And A Hard Place) Bikpela, Four Part Harmony and Brexit.✌🏻👶🏻👍🏻

[@Dairyteats]

New viewer here. What is the red object that the ground guy pulled away from below the cowling on startup? A fire suppression device? Thanks

[@Dairyteats]

@@robertdesantis6205 Umm the pitot tube seems to be on the starboard wing. At 1:38 the ground guy pulls off the canister looking thing.

[@robertdesantis6205]

@Dairyteats Sorry. Looking at it on my phone. Looks like a lithium battery APU?

I hope they pay you well to do this, because in terrain like that your chances of emergency landing somewhere are like next to zero.

[@Mike-gc9ih]

As a kid I would dream that I was flying a plane and it would turn into a nightmare because I didn't know how to land and panic. When I grew up I went to Auburn University aviation and earned my pilots license

[@torusx8564]

Second, I love your channel.

[@robertbandusky9565]

Looks like great fun! Just out of curiosity, would a Twin Otter be better for your operation? 👨‍✈️

[@stevekirk8546]

I doubt it, I simmulate these flights in a Twin Otter and no I'd rather do them in the Kodiak given the chance - some I won't even attempt in the Otter wonderful aircraft though it is.

[@philipcollura2669]

Speaking of crashed WWII era aircraft, I wonder if you're aware of the P-61 that was recovered from Mt. Cyclops in the early '80's.
