The book is proffessionally done. Great presentation to your local church mission board or home or business. I bought it and it is more than I expected. Well worth the money and you are supporting a great mission.
This has to be one of the more precise approaches to a one-way strip I've seen in your video library; weather analysis, descent over rugged terrain, quick assessment, match the terrain, flare, and braking, all in one quick succession. Very impressive! Plus all the lumber? Yikes! The challenging strips, the weather changes, the different loads; this video was an eye-opener to what your typical day looks like, well done!
That first approach and landing is such an amazing demonstration of skill and precise flying executed to perfection. Always am impressed by your knowledge and skills carrying out your missions.
That is an incredible place to build a house. I really enjoyed the on the ground content at the beginning, and the sped up loading at the end. Thanks Ryan. Hopefully you were able to get all 3 flights done.
Nothing like a zero contingency approach to keep you on your toes. Had me sweating in my lounge chair. Most instructive. Thank you for making your story available Ryan.
Really loving the quick and less detailed pre take off conversation! The explanation of the non-beading rain when matching the runway was excellent and easy to understand. Thumbs Up Given!
Thanks Ryan for the excellent video content. Great experience as usual. BTW, purchased some Mt. Giluwe coffee and it's excellent! Fly safe. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Just another beautiful day in PNG......thanks for all you do, Ryan. Its always a pleasure to watch your vids and actually learn something about flying :)
Thanks Ryan for sharing beautiful secretly I feel the kodiak & u become one on these special flying ventures manoeuvring around the mountains to the hidden airstrip takes Skill that u professionally exercise but couldn't believe the amount of timber the kodiak can carry ! Stay Safe! 🛫👍🇳🇿
Flying in such a beautiful yet unforgiving landscape becomes an art form in its own right. Thank you Ryan, the last couple of days have been very difficult as the Motor Neuron Disease with which I live progresses so I had to split watching It into two halves, but it has given me so much pleasure when I am in so much pain. Thank you very much; you and your family, colleagues and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. Love from Rick

Unforgiving? This is kids stuff. Look at what the CBI Hump pilots endured.
thank you for your thoughtful and kind analysis of my opinion. I did not say anything about other, even more unforgiving landscapes, my comment was not comparative. Flying in clouds which have mountains in is never 'kids stuff'. Land on sloping grass strips on the side of a mountain is not 'kids stuff'. You made the comparison with the China-India-Burma 'hump' pilots not me.

@@greenthing99100 yup, you have no idea what unforgiving is in reality
I have flown in the Himalaya, I know what they are like. When you fly into a mountain you are just as dead if it is 29,000 feet tall or 3,000 feet tall. I am dying slowly and painfully and I enjoyed this video, and you are a sad troll who will be in my thoughts and prayers. When, as I expect you will, you reply with some further stinging rebuke, I will delete this conversation but you can do nothing to stop me from praying for you.
Nice Ryan always interesting, without air traffic would be almost impossible to get supplies to these people, or months in the bush. Thanks for Bringing us along, Tell Ms Ryan hey: From SE Texas Bear ❤💯🙏
Thank you for this video, Ryan! The view from the plane when you look out the window is spectacular. It gives me a moving realization of how great is the love of God for each one of us. 🙏
That's beautiful country, but what an insane approach. I guess you're used to it, but I was like where in the hell are you going to land right up until the very end.
I really Hope you are able to HELP NEW Pilots DEAL with your Hostile environment. I do hope you are able to train them in it. YOU are so important to keep this SAFE for the lovely people in your area (which is pretty hostile). Keep on with what you do because You are SO important for THEM.
Although I am not a pilot I really enjoy your videos and learning about flying and the hundreds of things a pilot needs to manage. Question: should you have an midair emergency.....like losing an engine, etc......what are your options? Do you plan for such things as part of your flight plan ? Are you constantly saying to yourself; "....if I lose an engine right now, this is where I'm heading...". Just curious.... Thank you, Bob in Grand Rapids, MI, USA
THIS HARDLY was the WW2 Nadzab strip. Is there the larger "aerodrome" still recognizable from the air ? Was a major base 4 Mitchells, Lightnings etc. Was captured by one of the rare chute drops by 504 PIR. Big Mac himself was observing from a plane, there is the footage. Chili Chili was another quite nearby. SUGGEST ORDER THE BOOK by Birdsall : FLYING BUCCANEERS - Kenney s 5th AF history. A thick one. O er n out.
Hi Ryan, I'm an FI working in the UK with CAA licensing at the moment and would love do this kind of flying down the line of my flying career. Any tips on how to get into / orient my current flying to be more desirable to this kind of work in the future? Love the videos, keep up the amazing work!
think this was the first time i saw you using 17R, was that because of the ground vehicle on the flightline, which was also a first time hearing that broadcasted?
@TomP-nw4wu That wasn t a part of the 11th ? Rite ? Later on an Air Apache base ? Or Lighntjings ? Can t recall. Read the Birdsall book if not yet . FLYING BUCCANEERS
Sir, want to sit next to yours for a month, would you allow? Accompanying you and will be enjoying such a beautiful place and tribe there. Let me know.
WoW my stomach was literally tightening up on approach and landing, such a challenging environment one little mistake can mean certain death, I know only one commercial type of environment that is probably worse than this, based on my flight sim experiments, that's like Arctic landings, where everything is just blinding white, high elevation, I did a couple of flight sim missions in the TBM 850 to an Arctic research facility, my altitude indicator showed like 9.7 thousand, but my radio altimeter said 500 and I couldn't see a single thing, I had 0 visual confirmation of my altitude, no depth perception at all, I didn't know which one to believe in, made the wrong choice of trusting the barometric altitude rather than the radar one and of course, I slammed to the ground, well on the bright side I learned a lot from that. Also like I probably would slam the landing gears onto a tree when landing because I have this sense of urgency to land as fast as possible which often results in crashes as well.
Why do you fly so low? At the end of the video it seems you skim the tops of all the hills and mountains. It looks great but isn't it better to just get above it all and cruise?
Aye, but many were military and had no choice but to do as they were told. Bush pilots today are better equiped but have the option of staying alive if they take due care. My father was a navigator in RAF Beaufighters and Mosquitoes operating at night on intruder missions over the highlands of Burma in the World War Two - no navigation aids available. He came home alive and never complained about his lot. Times change - he was a natural navigator but would have loved the systems of today.
The book is proffessionally done. Great presentation to your local church mission board or home or business. I bought it and it is more than I expected. Well worth the money and you are supporting a great mission.
Thank you
I was getting sweaty palms on that landing!! Good job!!
Always ahead of the airplane, always doing the math, always reading the clouds correctly. Awesome video!
Beautiful valley and that airstrip leaves absolutely no room for error. Ryan makes this looks so easy. The book looks great
MBP the go to source for aspiring Bush Pilots your videos never get boring. Thanks a bunch mate.
Happy to hear that!
@@MissionaryBushPilot I always get a knot in my gut when you cross those ridges turning on down wind or the base legs to final.
Excellent! That's one hairy approach. Terrific airplane.

Glad you like them!

Amazing stuff and great production quality. God bless you brother!👍😎🙏
Thank you kindly
Love the time lapse, thanks! Soooo relaxing!
these videos are great, man! You've got an amazing job and amazing skills to do so. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Your flying skills blow me away every time, sir 👌👏👏👏
What a stunning approach!!!
Spectacular😀😀
Thanks Ryan for the excellent video content. Great experience as usual. BTW, purchased some Mt. Giluwe coffee and it's excellent! Fly safe. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Nice! That’s a lot of lumber being loaded at the end 😳
Thanks for the video!
Happy Sunday Ryan
Fantastic! I'm sure those people are very thankful of you.

Very exciting flight. The terrain is amazing and beautiful.
Another beautiful flight...thx Rysn
Masterclass flying!
Another spectacular PNG flight Ryan👌 that approach isn't for the faint hearted😉
Absolutely beautiful terrain. Appreciate all the info along the way. Timelapse was pretty cool! Thanks for sharing. 🙏
I love watching your excellent piloting and unique locations. I especially love your Videos from Colombo, Sri Lanka. Excellent, cheers.
Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode
That’s an awesome airplane you have. I think MAF has those.
yes MAF USA uses them, but MAF international used Caravans
Wow. Not a big margin for error. Very well done. Thank you. Gid bless.
Great channel and loving the time lapse at the end , it ends the video perfect.
Incredible airmanship Ryan !!! 😄 I pull my hat of ...
Another great flight with you Ryan.
Keep em coming.
I can't believe you got all that lumber in there............and could still take off.
It really is amazing what it can do
That was a LOT of heavy lumber loaded! I'm impressed with the load carrying capacity. Cheers from Winnipeg.
great job!
That was a crazy landing.
Nice
Awesome video!
Nice Ryan always interesting, without air traffic would be almost impossible to get supplies to these people, or months in the bush. Thanks for Bringing us along, Tell Ms Ryan hey: From SE Texas Bear ❤💯🙏
I've watched alot of your videos, that seemed one of the trickiest to land. 👍
you are very good and very professional! I linked you to my daughter who is about to finish her atpl course. 👍
Those guys can sure load lumber fast. 🤣🤣
Thank you for this video, Ryan! The view from the plane when you look out the window is spectacular. It gives me a moving realization of how great is the love of God for each one of us. 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
u ar the best pilot
thanks
Had to chuckle, the wide lens made the lumber look like 20 for telephone poles. Those Kodiaks are decent pick up trucks. 😊
Holy CRAP. I thought “no way they’re loading all that wood!” But, I checked the POH and sure enough…
“Useful Load = Yes.”
SO TINY! that Yarwon
nice :)
Wow
Thank God for giving you the knowledge to do what you’re passionate about.
I feel the same
That's beautiful country, but what an insane approach. I guess you're used to it, but I was like where in the hell are you going to land right up until the very end.
"I Landed on a Hidden & Remote Mountain Runway" That´s kinda what you do every video :)
The thought occurred. Maybe you can give that guy in the Tower a ride one day.
I have thought about that, maybe someday
Hi Ryan, What are the WX conditions you look at before you land a plan in a bush airstrip?
I really Hope you are able to HELP NEW Pilots DEAL with your Hostile environment. I do hope you are able to train them in it. YOU are so important to keep this SAFE for the lovely people in your area (which is pretty hostile). Keep on with what you do because You are SO important for THEM.
How is it your mobile phone reception is better in PNG than I have in the city.
because they put the towers on 4000ft mountains
For the algorythm.
thanks
That is some excellent pilotage. Curious what OCTA means? On______ TIME OF ARRIVAL?
I asked you a question: is your plane equipped with a parachute?
Last video: i never check the weather.
Starts video checking the weather ; P
I didn't say Never, just not that flight
13:40 is an insane shot
edit- and so is 15:55

There are quite a few places that I could crash land. Rivers, fields

hi brother pilot very wark hot very long i am never see s you video brother i very happy i an from usa mn
Dumb question,but, How does that plane get from manufacturer in Idaho, all the way to PNG? Does it have enough range to fly across Pacific?
We put extra fuel tanks in it and flew it over
That looks kinda risky, to a non-pilot person such as myself. Very committing.
You're flying a one engine airplane very well equipped but does the plane has a parachute? Please take good care of you 😘
Nadzab and the 503rd PIR.

“I landed on a hidden & remote runway”. Whaaat, but you never do that. 🤔
does anyone know the cameras he use?
I use GoPro hero 8
I think it interesting that bush plane used in jungle with no wipers. Maybe they have no real benefit.
The windshield is Lexan, so wipers would just scratch it up really fast
@@MissionaryBushPilot Thank you for reply.

Clouds
this.
Definition of 'commited'!! Yikes!
I hope God has mercy on your soul and that you can ask him for forgiveness. I hope you still have that last chance.
Why the facial grizzle? How and where does the aircraft get serviced, certified, inspected? Who pays?
We have our own mechanics, missionaries pay for flight
not for all the money in the world.
Amateur stuff compared to what the CBI HUMP pilots endured with no fancy electronics.
