Epic collaboration ! Now lets get Trent in a Kodiak!

[@bobhaire3039]

Same thought on the Kodiak❗️

[@dallashewett6091]

It's cool that you have an instructor in another plane that coaches you through a manuver.

[@gabrielcastro4935]

I seriously love this content! It almost feels like a rediscovery of the passion for flying. There’s so much of the US to explore and so many trips you can take with friends/family that the content is unending. Can’t wait to see each moment!

[@jimshaw899]

Remembering doing much of this, but with a 180# instructor in a 65 hp J3 in the front seat. When he would get out, the fun began. [Recalling his first lesson quote, "This is a powered kite. You have to fly it from untying it to tying it back down. I'll hold the brakes; you prop start it..." .... I well remember him teaching me to do a loop. After reducing that to practice, he says "Now let's see what happens when the worst thing happens and we stall out on top." And thus we both learned that it's a necessary idea to sweep out the Cub's floor before this demo. We had a dust and sandstorm in the cockpit, inverted, on top, in spin entry. [Explitives not included]

[@healerf18]

Trent is such a gifted teacher. Kudos!

[@cameronwick]

So cool to see you out there with Trent! As your “kitfox presence” builds I cannot wait to see what mods, and hopefully partnerships, you are able to pull off - to make your airframe recognizably your own!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

That would be pretty cool

[@Orikix]

This is like watching Maverick teach his students🤩 🔝🔫✈

[@ropshubop]

Wonderful seeing the two of you flying together. You could each teach one another so much with your respective expertise. I bet if you found a Kodiak to go fly with Trent the video just might pay for itself 😛

[@andrewculley8524]

Great video, Trent is a natural teacher. Rolling one wheel like that looked super difficult with the potential of wing hitting the ground, combined with yaw effect. Amazing how skilled you guys are.

[@stevereightler4126]

Cool! Just goes to show you, no matter one's experience or qualifications, there's always more to learn.

[@ednesbit2988]

Never in a million years did I ever think you would be here in my backyard flying with Trent lol great job

[@supamannn99]

Ryan, I’ve been watching you grow for years since you started posting your PNG flights and while I really do miss your PNG flights, it’s really nice to watch you grow so quickly stateside with your new kitfox. Very few other kitfox KZbinrs have the experience you do and it’s cool to see you apply that skill set to this platform. Great job, keep up the good work! Will you ever be returning to PNG?

[@ropshubop]

It’s been super fun watching a person who you’ve seen at their most expert best be humbled by a new plane. Makes for very interesting material.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

We think we are returning, but still not 100% decided

[@SerpentineUsurper]

Well done mate!

[@david.b4186]

Small world. A highly experienced Missionary Bush Pilot in the Papua New Guinean theatre, flying alongside one of youtube's Bush Pilot icons. When I subscribed to both Channels, separately, years back, never knew you 2 would eventually meet up👍🏾.

[@arnaudnicolau2093]

trent what a legend, so cool to see you guys fly together

[@michealogrady]

Love how supportive this community is - Can we replicate Trent a lot please.

[@ronhatcher7734]

two of my favorites, good to see ya connect.

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Hello from Minnesota!! Wow, what great coaching and training from Trent!! Priceless!! Your such and experienced pilot you picked up everything he coached you on so quickly! Great job!

[@Aran2323]

I always love to see youtubers get together in videos like this! I'd love to hear more about the differences between this type of flying and flying in PNG (you touched on it towards the end). How did flying in PNG prepare you for this, and conversely, what sorts of things did you do in PNG that might be "bad" habits where you're flying now?

[@shanesdiy]

Wow, that was awesome! So fun to watch you guys.

[@InducedBank]

Great collab, learning from the 'master' of kitfox and off airport landings!!

[@Jigsaw407]

Excellent stuff! That looks like so much fun.

[@Goldgitter]

This is so awesome guys, I have literally waited a couple years for this meet up! So glad you guys made it happen and cant wait to see more in the future!

[@nevianarashkova3449]

Amazing video! We've been waiting for it for so long, that hardly anyone has missed it. Excellent collaboration and dream flying. Many thanks, Ryan! Hoping for more of this kind.

[@markhamilton.photos]

Epic video! Loved how cool the flying was here! It’s good to see how much learning you got from Trent! Can’t wait to see more!!

[@dkoleary88]

Loved this video. So much detail and tips that aren't normally shared on youtube. Keep up the great content!

[@roadboat9216]

Wow, that was wonderful. Been waiting for this to happen. Have been subscribed to both you and Trent for some time now. GREAT STUFF.

[@shawntaylor3135]

Such an epic vid of you guys ripping around, polishing up the skill set and having fun - so rad!!

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

Awesome video! Been a Trent Palmer fan for years. So much fun watching you two out there, and you learned so much about your plane. So enjoyed this!

[@Jim132518]

Loved it! Chasing each other around the desert looked really fun!

[@dougbourdo2589]

Awesome to see you two flying together, sharing tips, etc.

[@donlyons5279]

It is cool that Trent would take the time to help you. Good job!

[@Knight805]

This answered so many questions. Incredible! Thanks guys!

[@godfreyduncan7783]

That was brilliant Ryan well done..

[@AviationWP]

THANK YOU Ryan and Trent for this collaboration. I'm smiling like crazy watching every minute of this! This is so fun--the flying, and the student/mentor conversation. More of this, please! :)

[@keithheinemann]

Awesome flying and nice video footage.

[@skyepilotte11]

Great to see you with Trent pointers...Great flying...

[@rudyloedeman5730]

Awesome! It's good to see your "stock" Kitfox holding up so well

[@LinkinLoris]

Very cool that you did an episode with Trent. Two of my favourite aviation KZbinrs. Congrats on the new airplane.

[@paul_gradenwitz]

This is so cool. My respect on how you work together. Thanks!

[@g_blocks1283]

Badass hearing Adrian over the comms!

[@gregslaven813]

I really enjoyed this video. It was awesome to hear what Trent was teaching you as far as the flaps and how to get the tail down right away. Can't wait to see what you do in the future with this plane!!!!

[@telmodias]

Super cool video. Hanging out with Trent is definitely a great idea, and this video is really into flight stuff so quite interesting to all of us people trying to get more insights on this topic. Congrats and hope you do more of these!

[@roginutah]

Great video. Really appreciate the education provided. The best 'collaborative' video I've seen.

[@bdshort]

This is the video I've been waiting for since you moved back to the states and started looking for a bush plane! Awesome stuff! End end put a huge smile on my face on what was a rough day. Thanks!

[@Pep8691]

now THAT looks like you had a whole lot of fun. Always a great feeling when you start to figure out a proficiency in a skill.

[@Racerdog68]

ahhhh i love your channel. thanks for all you do! I hope one day i will have a kitfox and can do all this!

[@nniaga04]

OMG! I follow you both separately but to see you both working together! Epic!!!!

[@7y1er_5pencer]

Dude! I am so pumped for you! What a great experience! Loved watching you learn in this video. Especially that dump the flaps on touchdown trick ... game changer! Thanks, Trent! You just changed Ryan's Kitfox videos 😁

[@rolandooverall5337]

Awesome lessons and awesome teacher is Mr. Palmer , congratulations Ryan keep on and have a lot of fun as well.

[@geeco1333]

Great teacher great pupil thank you for the ride

[@rolandgardiner3059]

Great bit of flying! Trent really knows his stuff. Your flying ability is impressive, you pick up the new stuff so quickly. Thanks for sharing.

[@Azazel518]

Trents calm instruction is great..what fun to have a flying buddy to help you wit all those little idiosycrosies

[@SimjetAU]

great collaboration video you two guys...lots of great information. you two should do a few more of these...education for everyone about these tecniquics is so good

[@josephorr5175]

A very enjoyable video. Learned a lot, even after many years of flying. Excellent instruction with smooth video transitions and choreography.

[@josueamavizca5444]

Very cool, is nice to see guys together having fun, Trent Palmer is a cool guy, O have been following him for years

[@ssnerd583]

....and BAM!!! one on one instruction by one of the masters of the genre !!!!

[@craigpitts2209]

Very good Ryan, looks like a lotta fun…

[@D989501L]

Thanks Ryan from a mortal stuck on the ground, it's nice to come along with you and have some fun and learn at the same time, great scenery as well. Regards Richard 🇬🇧

[@MiloFortin]

Ryan, this video is so awesome! I love watching you get a chance to go on your own adventures and fly where you want, when you want, with who you want. While I also love your PNG content, as an MK myself I know that even if you are doing ministry that you believe in and care about that it can get monotonous like any job. I'm praying that this time on home assignment is a time of rest, adventure, and recovery for you and your whole family.

[@hopewellaerialphotography7620]

This is my new favorite channel! Incredible video Ryan!!

[@davidrobins4025]

Trent is a great guy to teach you most if not all of the little tricks that not only make it safe, but fun.

[@chrispy104k]

Trent is a great teacher as is Kevin Quinn. Great that he spent some time with you. Loving the vids Ryan.

[@joeroscillo4015]

Great seeing you flying with Trent!! Can see you knowledge base picking up quickly, with the new moves in new areas!! Your Kodiak could live well out in that back land!! Looking good, skimming the terrane!!

[@bobhaire3039]

Well okay. This is THE ONE I wanted to see❗️❗️❗️👀✅ i contacted you both earlier about you guys combining for this great content. Knowing that you are both such accomplished pilots, i really respect the caution and training you both exhibit when either flying a different plane or flying over different terrain as well as taking note of how your equipment (like a tail wheel or bush wheel size) is suited to what you are doing. I have watched you both for over two years. Thanks for doing this😊Bob Benbrook Texas

[@ugahenne]

This was awesome! Looking forward to many more of these 🙂

[@vincentmolloy5660]

Great video Ryan. Nice to see you getting familiar with your new plane. Spend some time on your 3 point landings. Pretty tricky coz you're right on the stall but you'll get it.

[@CrayonboxAviationAdventures]

That was a very interesting video - thank you!

[@trbeme1346]

Such a great video. Trent has done a good job giving you insight into how your plane flies. I am sure you would the same in the one you fly for work. Thanks for sharing.

[@DrummerGuhts]

truly one of your best videos man!!! your a dam rockstar

[@itsafineone8872]

Dude that was an excellent vid. Top notch. So enjoyable and informative.

[@wherecondorssoar7175]

Wow! What a great collab. I'm sub'd to both of you guys and have been watching for 2+ years. You are both accomplished pilots who I have a lot of respect for. I'm retired from flying now with 6000+ hours divided between scud running in the Northeast as a charter pilot and FL450 flying jets. After it all, I would love to land a bush plane on a lake bed. Thanks for sharing this Ryan. I really look forward to watching what you do with the Kitfox. Trent, you're a great instructor. You noticed what needed to be addressed right away, and you addressed it. Awesome job!

[@alexenns3203]

This is so amazing! I'm glad you were able to fly with Trent!!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yeah it was fun!

[@kingfisch]

I thoroughly enjoyed that video and I learned some things that I will apply when using my sim. 🙏

[@frankdivelbiss9940]

Pretty cool that you guys got together. I follow both of you and have shirts from each of you. Right on guys!

[@davidsimmonds7250]

Huge thanks to both you and Trent. One of the most helpful and enlightening demonstrations on off-airport and short landings I've seen. Clear and succinct. Although I fly a RANS S-6, much of the flap management and one-wheel demonstrations, translated to the nosewheel regime, will be a great help managing the Idaho backcountry short strips with squirrely canyon winds.

[@kree8oraerialproductions65]

wow that was great living you dreams and enjoying life that gave me chills. Keep them coming.

[@craigt4467]

Ryan It is a very happy time watching you so happy Thank you for sharing your adventures 😊 My best wishes to you always from Las Vegas Craig This video is pure fun no rating required Please share this video everyone Bravo 👏🏻 Ryan

[@Doulos.Romans8.34]

Wow looks like a dream! Keep up the great content

[@andrepotgieter7083]

Absolutely awesome video with the Legendary and Highly Experienced Kitfox Trent Palmer Aviator! Take it slow one minute at a time and be safe Ryan.

[@y_equals_mx_plus_c]

This is just such an awesome video! Epic Collab!!

[@anglertales]

Super cool to see you guys flying together!

[@davidbjornstad7759]

Boiz and their toiz -- great video! 💯

[@robfive2555]

Awesome video Many thanks Ryan for the great upload

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@michael2782]

It is such a great reminder of something that I had completely forgotten. In the 80's I used to fly my Arrow III down to Cabo from San Diego and once in the dessert would drop to around 100' AGL and follow the roads for hours - what a gas. It was absolutely spectacular and we would pop up to 1000' AGL approach terrain to look for others flying in the opposite direction. Fun watching your skill set improve so rapidly and thanks for the memories (apologies to Bob Hope).

[@michaelwho]

Your vids always make me smile 😊 looks like so much fun!

[@lostgriz]

Great stuff here Dude!

[@zemelugta]

I love your videos, I tried this style in MSFS with Zlin Ultra Shock that has also slats and OMG flaps on axis for making this fun, it is really working and I am able to land and stop under 1 meter now! Thank you for your awesome videos. You are living life that i was dreaming whole life and sadly can't but luckily MSFS came and since kodiak addon i was flying like you, now these little toys, I am looking forward what will be next!!! Stay safe, fly "low and slow" :D

[@IcelandicWarrior]

Just epic. Thank you (and Trent 🙂)

[@paulphibbs7162]

So glad you guys hooked up. Trent is a good pilot.

[@hopewellaerialphotography7620]

I didn't know Trent and Ryan were gay?

[@robdotcom71]

Great stuff Ryan..... will be great to see your STOL flying skills progress.... :)

[@wheelsupbardown]

Awesome collab! Really digging your videos lately!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Anonymous99997]

Good stuff adding great skills to your toolbox.

[@v1rotait23]

Ryan, I thoroughly enjoyed this video with the pair of you blasting around the dry desert lakes. I've had this silly grin on my face, the whole time. It reminds me of my meagre 8 hours of Super Cub flying a long time ago to get my tail dragger rating ♥

[@groovycoovy1]

Dang it... Thanks Ryan. Now I have to get my tail wheel and follow roads... How exciting

[@marilynwhite2155]

New life,new plane,new look( great beard!!) .you having the time of your life, we still enjoying your fabulous flight experiences,

[@freebaf]

Great teacher! Great student! That was fun to watch!

[@stubryant9145]

That 'student' goes from beginner in that platform to advanced in a couple weeks without breaking a sweat! The skills and instincts Ryan brings with him absolutely make a huge difference. Love the humility despite already being a very accomplished pilot.

[@Joshtheshua]

That second landing was on point! Nice angle.

[@mikeluckham5518]

Wow, that flying at the end must have been fun

[@pizza0451]

Awesome! Everything is awesome!

[@nothingtoseehere4026]

Great content once again.
