I was a USAF geodetic officer working in Port Moresby at our Aerial Survey Team that did log line trilateration surveys in the Pacific. 1964 We had teams on mountain tops for months and used every method available to resupply them. I was in charge of our photo lab and our survey computation team. Thank you for the reminding me of an experience I had when I was allowed to visit one of our stations.
Crazy runway, those mountains look savage. And were an amazing natural barrier way back in WW2. The people of PNG really helped out in that affair when Australia was under attack.
I agree that there would be a sense of comfort having him as PIC. Also he's technically not in the middle of nowhere. The strip he flew out was named, "Random Bush Location". ;-)
My wife and I knew Reggi Pep who rebuilt many planes for mission aviation fellowship before he passed away recently. It was good to see this video and remembering.
Hi Ryan that was a trimendous flight, it was great flying over these high rocky mountains, also the cloud formation was to my mind magnificent, so thanks a million for another great flight.
Being from South Florida, seeing you fly in this beautiful mountainous terrain is incredible, excellent piloting, don't think you could get the landing any smoother than you did. Stay safe!
You probably learned when flying was more pure, fun and free. These guys today have more and more regulation. I notice he has to work constantly throughout his flight.
“That big dark shaded are, we will land just past the dark shaded area right where it starts to get light again.” Oh the joys of bush flying! 😂 Love the content, never stop.
You've taught me a lot that I now understand in Flight SIm 2020. Thank you. Love how you point everything out for dumb asses like me who have no idea whatsoever. Great content.
I say again that I know thing about flying, but I learn something with every one of your videos. The discipline and attention to detain that you exhibit make me feel safe in your hands. Ryan thank you for your work.
That runway is so short with serious consequences! Reminds me of my hang gliding days when you leave a mountain top...you're committed and there's no 'reset' button! Thanks for sharing!
I'm just a Diesel Mechanic from (still live), Dallas Texas, not a pilot. I love your video's, thank you for making them. Your video's are as close as i'll get to places like this!
Wonderful terrain . You really have to be aware . You even pick out your possible crash sites . That's what I call cool , calm and collective . Nice short flight !
Our church sent many missionaries out over the years. I have a new appreciation for what it's REALLY like. I just discovered these "films". I was always interested in flying but got NO encouragement . I think it was a QUEST plane that visited an airport in Lancaster,Pa. and I got to ride in it! Thanks again.
Fantastic guys good flying many challenges but you guys are pro bush pilot!! I did my bush flying in the jungles of Borneo Sarawak and Sabah as early as in the 80’s on the BN2,skyvan,twin otter and it was a job that reminds me of what you guys are doing now. The runway and terrain in Papua is more challenging!!! Stay safe guys!!
I appreciate the mention of flight simulator pilots. Almost all of these flying videos are snobbish about simmers. I love flying, but never could become a real pilot because of my severe vision handicap. I’ve done a couple training school introductory flights, but that’s the closest I can come. The problem with that is I had to be hands off during takeoff and landing and that is the most fun part about flying. So simming is all I can do.
Thank you pilot for such an awesome video. The cameras are placed in the right place and I had a great time watching. It almost felt like I’m on board with you. I live in New Zealand and I’d love to take my family there for a holiday. I discovered your channels recently and I’ll continue watching your videos. Thanks a lot.
Landing at these airstrips is a lot scarier than take off. 60 years ago landed in Tarpini. Catholic priest as the pilot. Those were the days. Lost lots of pilots.

@Hello Phill how are you doing?
Crazy runway, those mountains look savage. And were an amazing natural barrier way back in WW2. The people of PNG really helped out in that affair when Australia was under attack.
Thanks for taking us along for a nice ride...
@Hello how are you doing?
Great to see such a thorough, disciplined pilot - a guy you'd feel comfortable flying with over forest covered mountains in the middle of nowhere...
Wow, thanks!
I agree that there would be a sense of comfort having him as PIC.
Also he's technically not in the middle of nowhere. The strip he flew out was named, "Random Bush Location". ;-)
You are doing great to serve PNG people.We are so proud of you!💞
Thank you for supporting Missionaries and helping spread the Message!
Always!
I love when Josh and his coffee copilots with you! Y’all a great team!
My wife and I knew Reggi Pep who rebuilt many planes for mission aviation fellowship before he passed away recently. It was good to see this video and remembering.
What a fine example showing the difficult approach
My favourite video. Josh is so cool 👍👍
@Hello Derek how are you doing?
What an epic landscape to fly in. Simultaneously beautiful and terrifying. You guys are good!
Great video for mountain flying!
I feel as if after watching a few thousand of these I would be ready for flight lessons. Thanks!

As and old single engine pilot, these guys are good.
thanks
As 1 old single engine pilot to another , you’re right.
In PNG as a pilot, you are good or you are dead. A lot of the pilots in Vanuatu when I lived there were ex PNG.
You probably learned when flying was more pure, fun and free. These guys today have more and more regulation. I notice he has to work constantly throughout his flight.
@@katehobbs2008 the terrain and weather is always a challenge
Makes me appreciate learning to fly in flat, flat North Texas.
Same here....got my pilot license at GPM!
Didn't finish but my 26hrs were out of KCXO LoneStar Exec
Whoaa two pilots
share the work load sounds good
Even though a short flight, there is so much to do and two pilots are kept busy. I always feel like a front seat passenger with you. Thanks
"If we're not 35 knots by...let's go with the dude with the big belly..."
Instant SUBSCRIBE.
That's official aviation lingo!
@@EricJ0hansson aka "the delta with the bravo bravo"
Love that bush pilot jargon.
Is that professional aviation lingo??
Looking at the end of that runway it matters. DAYUM That's a run with repercussions.
Good flight Captain... thanks
@Hello Richard how are you doing?
“That big dark shaded are, we will land just past the dark shaded area right where it starts to get light again.”

@Hello Mark how are you doing?
Another nice little trip. Thanks. Your right seater there has quite a jovial persona.
That runway is so short with serious consequences! Reminds me of my hang gliding days when you leave a mountain top...you're committed and there's no 'reset' button! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing how it takes 16 minutes to show a quick 10 minute hop !
Looks really right flying, right skills,
Thanks for sharing

And here we all are quarantined, and these guys are living the life...FML
I'm just a Diesel Mechanic from (still live), Dallas Texas, not a pilot. I love your video's, thank you for making them. Your video's are as close as i'll get to places like this!
Thanks for watching!
I love your reference points. Not your regular airports here.
Was watching mentoirpilot and this came up as recommended. Glad it did.
Love the dude with the big belly. I think that cracked everyone up.
Capt, nice to meet you,, keep flight safely 👍
Scenic beautiful! And doesn't hurt that the pilot is also eye candy!
Another flawless landing
Great videos from Missionary Bush Pilot, can't wait to see the others!
Thank you for another wonderful video. All the best from Sydney Australia. Have a good day.
Amazing flight. Amazing scenery. Pristine, unspoiled land.
Spectacular camera work and procedural flight steps for piloting Quest Kodiak.
Ryan, keep up the great job flying and stay safe.
Thanks!
Much appreciated!
I'll give the plane a like. It seemed very stable.
enjoyed going with you. Bless you
Nice job boys. Enjoy what you're doing now; its all over when you get to the airlines
Wonderful terrain . You really have to be aware . You even pick out your possible crash sites . That's what I call cool , calm and collective .
Nice short flight !
thx for watching
Thank you for sharing this great video.
Enjoy your videos. You are setting a great example for younger pilots. Keep up the good work!
Great landing. Thanks for taking us along. N245PA
Menyamya is much improved from when I was there in the mid seventies - Kiap days
But the road going there from Bulolo is always a challenge, when it's raining or after it rains
show more stuff after you land... always fascinating seeing the local areas in the bush..
Beautiful landing at 15:34 !
Thank you.
Nice view of the mountains and Ridges from the outside camera. Awesome flight video
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic fantastic fantastic fantastic
Good skill. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
@Hello Brain how are you doing?
you set that thing down like a butterfly with sore feet. nice landing.
Great video, beautiful area. Thanks for posting
Our church sent many missionaries out over the years. I have a new appreciation for what it's REALLY like. I just discovered these "films". I was always interested in flying but got NO encouragement . I think it was a QUEST plane that visited an airport in Lancaster,Pa. and I got to ride in it! Thanks again.
Here's your encouragement. Go learn to fly!
church sends missionaries? what does that even mean?
@@DamWG18 it means that trained grown up responsible people go to aid, teach and learn
please show the places you arrive, it will made more interesting your flights.
I concur...love to see the places you go to.
That content is posted to his Patreon.
Some communities might not watch to be filmed tho. But great idea non the less
So enjoyable to watch ! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic guys good flying many challenges but you guys are pro bush pilot!!

Awesome cool takeoff. I think I would freak out. but cool thank you
That's pretty normal for the first few times. 😁
I enjoy watching the flying
Thanks 👍
You guys kick a$$ , Thank you for the show!
The stunning kodiak 100... ,again a very nice landing keep up the good work at PNG
Many thanks!
Proper hands on flying... I've enjoyed it... You guys work for your money....
Steely eyed ice-blooded bush studs. Great flying -- from a former Alaska bush passenger.
Thanks for another great flight.
Awesome video. Thank you for the time in making this video for us in you tube land. Be safe out there
God bless you and your family. 😊🛫👍
Thanks 👍
Keep them coming. I do enjoy your video's. Bye for now from New Jersey. 🛫😊👍👍👍
Hugely respect the sterile conversation on the flight deck
Great flight again! Thanks for keeping us simmers in your mind as you're making these videos!
My pleasure!
"-What's your adress sir?
- Random bush location.
- Allright sir"
Thanks again
You are the best!!! God bless you 😎🙏🏽🇩🇴
Nice flight. Thank you.
Flying conditions remind me of parts of southern Africa. Really enjoy your commentaries. Best wishes Christopher
I bet it does

Great video! the terrain is amazing ! Your a Awesome Pilot Mate
Great flying, thanks.

Great flight and beautiful landscape. Nice landing, AGAIN !
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Once again, great video.
Stay safe.
Ive watched a few of your videos now. I like what your doing, great job, fun to watch.
It's like i'm in the aircraft with you. Thanks
Great to hear
That take off was amazing.
Engine failure after takeoff would be a disaster!! Much respect here!
The takeoff was so exciting I burnt my pancakes.
Enjoyed it
I’m sorry for you 😢
Beautiful flight
Holy cow! Great coordination and keeping up with the demands of the flight. Nothing easy here. Great job.
Thanks a lot!
You get more landing practice than most in PNG!
Landing at these airstrips is a lot scarier than take off. 60 years ago landed in Tarpini. Catholic priest as the pilot. Those were the days. Lost lots of pilots.
@Hello Colin how are you doing?
Police running to the airstrip......... Id better get my mask on........ Hahahaha...... I love that.
Awesome flight. Thank you for posting!
You bet
love this channel, great piloting, great scenery, please tell us more about the people and the places
That was amazing terrain.
Very nice video.
The right hand seat pilot looks angry all the time.
" I saw some cops running towards the plane. I better put my mask on" LMAO.. that cracked me up.
As a Florida flatland pilot and CFI, I really enjoy the mountain scenery. Keep 'em coming! Thanks!
Glad you like them!
Remarkable video, guys. Safe flying!
