I drink in between 2 to 4 liters pitch black, 'nukular fuelled' (AKA uber-strong) coffee. Strong enough to raise the dead 3 graveyards down the road from smell alone. Most countries do not even know what coffee should be made like. Example: US: you can see the bottom of a 2 litre pot, looking down into the pot. That's not coffee. If I have 3mm coffee in my cup, you see a black tar alike substance on it. No bottom. My cup, after the first one I take, is black on the sides. THAT is coffee. For the Dutch that will know it: DOUWE EGBERTS MOKA ROYALE!!! Oh YEAH! According to my cardiologist: I literally consume deadly amounts of caffeine, daily. :S Going to bed, I sleep as a baby though, never had issues with it either, health or stress-wise.

Your camera coverage and editing illustrate driving in three dimensions very well. It was easy to see the "corners" you worked around. Love the view through the windscreen.

Dude! I flew helicopters for NUH from ‘74-‘79. Palembang, Balikpapan, Ujung Pandang, Sorong. Bell 205’s and Sikorsky S-58t’s. Round gauges, one over the world maps, and my wit’s! To see the state of the technology in bush aircraft these days brings a tear to my eyes! While I very much enjoy your videos I still can’t help but pucker up watching them! Be safe my friend and thanks for letting me ride along!👍🙏👍

[@stevekirk8546]

Love these videos where the clouds make the flying so interesting. The Asaro Valley must be one of the finest flights in PNG but I always enjoy simming through the Jimi and Wahgi Valleys with this type of cloud cover. Another to opportunity to appreciate how the ATC communication works in PNG as well as a very good explanation of flight conditions and and route planning. Thanks Ryan.

I've always wondered what it was like in the pilot seat flying taking off, going through the nuances of the weather and approaches and landing.... simply amazing video. It was real life flight simulator for me lol. Thank you for making this video.

[@d.mcdave8880]

Very nice. As a low time pilot it is amazing to see how comfortable and relaxed you are. Having your backup plan and confidence in your abilities to recognize and avoid problems in advance is crucial. Thanks for the lesson.

[@spazmonkey3815]

Ya know when I was in my 20s I called up a flight training school and they were very nice and said "come on in and we'll talk you through it". Well I never did and seeing this guy I kind of regret it.I would have had my pilot's license by now ....since I'm 70.

[@d.mcdave8880]

@@spazmonkey3815 Well, I guess it's never too late, as long as you can pass the physical. I was in my late 30's when I had the opportunity and I went for it. I always wanted to be a pilot but every time I mentioned it everybody laughed or said "you can never do that". The main obstacle for most people is having the funds to fly while in flight school. You need to practice what you learn and keep progressing so you don't keep re-learning the same thing. If you have the funds you can get a private pilot single engine license in a few months. Even if you don't intend to get a license you could go to school for a "right seat" class. You will learn the basics and get some flight time and learn to communicate on the radio. Look into that, it may be for you.

[@donalddehaven3229]

I am not a pilot, but my dad was a missionary bush pilot in Mexico and Brazil in the 1950s and 1960s with MAF. Wow, what a great video! The technology has changed drastically since my dad was a pilot all those years ago. Great stuff!

[@jamest7551]

Always enjoy flying with you. Thank you for explaining your decisions and why you are making them. A lot of hills and valleys to fly thru and it's amazing how much the weather can change! Continued prayers for your flying and all that you do for the PNG people!

[@ckthmpson]

This really makes me want to get back to flying. Got my VFR Private Pilot ticket back in 2006, and accumulated ~ 220 hours in various airplanes including Cessna's (150/152, 172, 206), Pipers (Cherokees, Warrior, Saratoga), a Baron, and even a Citabria. So much enjoyment. Unfortunately I'm living in Japan at the moment and isn't really possible to get back into flying given current circumstances. But videos such as this allow me to experience my love of aviation to some degree without actually being there. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing videos. I just came across your channel and so glad I did. You are doing something I wish I had pursued at a much younger age. Stay safe and best of luck with your aviation career.

[@Dreamformeable]

I always wanted to get the license but i don't think im too smart for that. You have to have some sort of high IQ and be able to learn and navigate many thing simultaneously. Which is impossible for me.

[@djea3589]

I love flying taildraggers, especially citabria. Love the aerobatic capability and stability (C152 Aerobat too!). I learned to fly in an L2, hand propping, battery powered radio. You learn quickly when the radio is dead and you are in the SF Bay Area Landing by signal lights.

[@mandraketap]

Cheers from Portugal! Great content and great example of discipline! Just great. All the best and stay safe out there 👌

I just love that cockpit!! I was watching another flight video where the pilot was flying a Pilatus Porter. It was a super bare-bones cockpit and reminded me more of a Lego set than an actual airplane, but he was a master with that thing. Granted, it's the pilot that matters; not so much the instrumentation, but I do love me a tricked out cockpit! Thanks so much for sharing these videos too!

Solid flight dude! Greased that landing. Always good to come in with a stabilized speed and attitude then use ground effect to its advantage. As long as not much crosswind like you had it’s good to float it a bit with the extra lift the aircraft gets from the ground effect. You did a real nice job there. 👌👊

[@mitseraffej5812]

In the mid to late 1970s as a young man I worked in PNG as a builder. I traveled all over the country in light aircraft and was too young and stupid to realise the danger I was often in. No GPS in those days. One memorable flight was from Mt Hagen to the Bensbach which should have been a couple of hours but ended up over 4 because the pilot got lost stuck between cloud layers and the manager of the Bensbach lodge forgot to turn the NDB navigation beacon on. Not much left in the tanks when we arrived I don’t think.

Years ago I talked to a girl who once was one of 2 POB in a Cessna that flew into cloud in PNG. The flight ended with them hanging from their straps lodged in the tree canopy of an extremely steep cliff. The PNGDF had to get them out via helicopter. I have seen a picture of the rescue - and it was pretty gnarly. She told me that the pilot said 'sorry' quite a few times...

[@ronlucock3702]

I read a book by a retired Missionary Aviation Fellowship pilot who flew extensively in PNG. He said the basic presumption was that "the clouds have rocks in them". That's why you don't fly through clouds in PNG. Otherwise the next thing you know you're slaming into a mountain you never knew was there.

[@kristopherdetar4346]

[@GetRealBaby]

With my fear of flying, I would never get in a plane with any pilot, but at the same time, I do love these types of videos. It's as though I'm actually in the co-pilot's seat. Very exciting in a subdued sort of way. Now, what if the engine stopped and wouldn't start? Where would you put your plane down? Do you check for possible landing sites as you're flying? It doesn't look like there are many if any roads down there. What's the glide ratio? Do you carry a parachute just in case? Lastly, I couldn't understand much of what you and the tower said to each other, but I plan to use a bit of it in a comic routine if you don't mind. Take care and fly safe!

It’s really to clear that fear of flying permanently and enjoy the skies
