    Great interview, Mark. The best part was when you asked him the worst thing and the best thing near the end. Donald's recovery story was truly inspirational.

    Very interesting interview for me having worked in aviation 35 years and been to Alaska a few times, knew other bush pilots that flew there..interesting movie about a lot of that is “Never Cry Wolf” (highly recommended)…worked on a few small planes but mine went from L188, C-130, DC-8, 727, 737, 757, 767, 747, 777, A320, so much for all that….thx for the vid 👍🏻✈️🇹🇭🇵🇭

    This Alaskan has lived in Anchorage since 1984. And this winter we have had record snowfall and like today it’s about 30f and in Fairbanks it’s about 20f and snowing. There are a lot lakes where bush pilots fly you to to see wildlife and fishing. I am flying to the Philippines with another man who has a OFW girlfriend in Singapore will fly back home and they will meet physically for the first time with her parents. He will start the paperwork for her to come to Alaska and get married to live here. I am hoping to see Baguio and if I can go to Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and even Dumagette if I stay that long in my budget

    Cool interview. Always wondered what it was like way up North by the Artic circle. Liked hearing from a fellow recovering person. I'm in recovery as well. If Donald needs to find a meeting I know of one there and a contact person if needed. Been to Dumaguete lots in the past. We help our fellow brothers out. Thanks Mark for your awesome interviews. When the wife and I get back to Dumaguete we can grab a coffee.

    Glad to hear you put the "demon" down Donald. Mark, your guests are allways interesting. Seems it,s the interesting guys you find in the Philippines. "Goods are odd" ....have to remember that one. If you remain a "victim" you,ll stay in whatever bad situation you may find yourself in. "Get your head out of the box and grab your bucket" is my mantra.

    Hey Mark, I really enjoy your channel, you come up with some wonderful people to interview, and you do a great job and being able to draw out some valuable information.
    I have a question for you, I’m living in the USA at present, I have spent considerable time in the Philippines in past years, mostly in Makati and Cebu as I was having products, made for one of my companies in the USA back then.
    I’m thinking about retiring in the Philippines and I use the VA as my healthcare and as you know, I’m sure the Philippines is the only country outside the USA that have a VA hospital and medical center. I know if I’m living there I’m able to use their services, but I’m not too excited about living in Manila area and was thinking that if I lived somewhere like Dumaguete or Cebu, do you know if the guys just fly up to Manila for their appointments or is there another alternative in other localities?
    Thanks for your remarks.
    All the best, Michael

    • @mikeb9189
      @mikeb9189 Год назад

      Wow I just look at website. It’s an aviation academy too. Negros tourist sure could use fly over tours over the beautiful island of Negros. Maybe you can get your license to fly in the Philippines from Royhle and start your own plane ride tourist business in Negros. You would have 100% market share for such tourist trip/excursions. Like Hawaii or Whistler BC (I guess they have those in Alaska too). It would be great to fly over the Canlaon volcano in Negros, etc. God Bless.

    Hi Mark I know it's a little pain in the butt. But I think your channel would benefit greatly by making more appealing thumbnails, after all it is the first thing viewer see in deciding if they want to watch your videos.
