Better grab a drink and a snack, this is a long one... This requested a bunch of times and while it goes against everything I preach about shorter being better when it comes to content, I hope this doesn't bore too many of you. I did have fun answering these questions and to everyone who asked a question that I didn't get to I apologize but if you guys enjoy this type content I will be sure to do more of it in the future!
Am looking forward to watching it young man!!
Fly Low FLY SAFE
G -Man
I love how you came back to the old intro, awesome 😎
Loved it. UA-cam is the only flying I get to do anymore...former low time private from many years ago and drone commercial for a bit...I just get to watch now. Longer the better. Former Air Force avionics maintenance, electrical engineer computer Comms person, flying bring a view of all that together for me like nothing else. Visiting with you...(and yes, your reading the questions and talking about those topics feels to me like you could be letting me sit in on a hanger flying session or around the campfire session with the cowboys...hell, I might even go out on the yard and pick up some debris...inspiring.
Anyway. Don't worry about too long...if you feel like there is nothing different going for a while, stick it in time laps and let 'er rip.
Thanks for taking the time, trouble and expense to bring us along. Bringing your cinematic approach is a real treat.
See ya!
Commercial airlines scare the hell out of me too... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think it’s great man! I mean look at Stevo’s success from posting full length flight videos. You guys have an enjoyable personality and other pilots want to watch repetition to get better at flying themselves.
Trent: "We're over an hour long, which is ridiculous, so if you've made it this far you're a legend".
Me: "Where's hour 2?!"
Thanks, man. I loved the long video. I wouldn't do it all of the time, but maybe make it a once a year thing.
Great video! I cant wait till you produce the “low and slow to Alaska” video :-)
Love your vids bro. Would love to meet you and chill for a few . Love the idaho videos I live in north idaho so I appreciate the bush flying
Obviously it took me ten days to finally find the time to watch this video, but I knew I would enjoy it. I lived at Cold Springs just west of the Stead airport, also lived in Reno, Truckee, and Income Village (Incline). I worked line service at Reno International Airport in the mid 70's. Many great memories exploring that part of the world and I love seeing it again in these videos. Of course I watched the whole video because we have similar interests.
Hey Trent, I made it through the entire video with no problem. I really enjoyed it. I've been watching your videos for years now and I've always been impressed with not only the quality of them but more important, I think, is the information and advice you dispense is very accurate. I am saying this based on my flying experience of 55+ years in 119 different aircraft, including float planes, helicopters and gliders. The past 47 years I have lived in Reno and have flown out of Stead. The advice you give to people wanting to learn to fly, buy an airplane, be a bush pilot, how to fly safely, etc. is spot on. The kind of flying you do is not for everyone, just as flying in general is not for everyone but, like most things in life, one has to decide the level of risk one is willing to take and the best way to mitigate that risk whatever their endeavor may be. So, just to reiterate, I think what your videos do for the world of aviation is outstanding! Thank you!
Made it to the end! It was nice to spend an hour in the air with you Trent. You could upload a 2hr video and I'd still watch the video to the end. Thank you Trent.
I think it's great when a pilot with a great audience does one of these videos. Very informative and well done. Under .5% percent of the US population has a pilots license, the other 99.5 are all mostly curious lol. So thank you, Trent.
Until you go to Alaska, up here it seems more like 1 in 10… LoL
Thanks for taking us along, Trent. Really appreciated you giving this personal time to us. Keep on keeping on dude.
I don’t think it was too long of a video. Enjoyed it very much, very informative. Thanks Trent!
This has been one of my favorite videos of yours. I made it all the way to the end and could have watched more. I’m a private pilot and fly a 182 out of Vegas but dream of doing the kind of bush flying that you do. Thanks for the videos. I always look forward to them.
Really enjoyed the long format with the Q&A session. Keep them coming maybe every two weeks or once month.
Trent, I just watched your 64 minute vid and enjoyed it tremendously. I learned to fly while in the Army at Ft. Knox in 1969-1970. There was a flying club at the Army airfield and they had 5 Cessna 150's. Rental was $35/hour wet. I haven't flown since 1980 due to having married and starting a family. Now, at 77 and retired, I get my airborne fix vicariously and your channel is my fav. I always look forward to your next posting and, no, your full flight vid was anything but boring. Please tender my best regards to your lovely wife. You are truly blessed.
I always make it all the way through Trent. No matter how long or short it is, I always learn something. Also, I like hearing about what you guys are up to and in this case how you got here. I’m kinda living vicariously through you! Thanks!
Not bored at all! If you can stand filming it, I'll be happy to watch. I just met a new neighbor, younger guy just starting out who found out I'm a pilot and started pumping me for information. You had such great questions and answers on this one I'm just going to turn him on to this video. He'll be hooked in no time!
Typically I would avoid long flight videos. This is because most don't have the learned talent you spoke about towards the start of this video; that being, becoming comfortable with talking in your videos. Far too many don't do as you and Tucker do, keep the entertainment going while heading to the destination and conclusion of the video. Great job. On a second note - I don't always have time to watch long videos. Doing just as you've done with using multiple intros to your videos, multiple length videos leaning towards short ones I believe will work well. Nice job Trent. Oh and almost forgot, those who do long voiceless flight videos also seem to think constant engine audio is ok. Really like that you keep that minimal to none and have the low volume music playing while you talk.
Hi Trent, I made it to the end of this video. I have been working my way through all your posted videos, and still have many more to review. They are all Awesome, I wish my Dad was still living, he was a Private Pilot from the 40's, and built planes for Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corp, Stinson Division. He enjoyed flying Stinson model 8A 65 hp Luscumbe.
I'm not a pilot, but used to go with my dad.
Myself at 73, I won't be working on my ppl.
With your videos, I get to Enjoy your Flying now!!
Be Safe out there Young Man.
GOD Bless
Aww yes, and the original intro!
Trent, I was a Bonanza owner and pilot for over 30 years. Macular Degeneration has brought my time as a pilot to an end. I have loved to fly with you since I have been unable to fly myself. Yes, I was with you for the entire flight today. Thank you for the time in the sky.
I’m sorry to hear you are unable to fly anymore 😔 but glad to hear I’ve been able to take you along through my videos 🙏🏻
Made it to the end! Just shows the value of conversation :) On the topic of 'how to get into aviation on a budget' I confess I was absolutely dead set at one point in my life to take up bushplane style flying, BUT, budget and the UK basically not being appropriate for that forced a change - I took a flexwing trial flight and was hooked! Financially, if bushplanes are equivalent to owning and running race car, flexwings can be the equivalent of a decent sized used car. You are still flying, but get amazing views, and don't need quite the level of disposable income. Try it before you discount it, and if you do try it and aren't hooked, fair enough!
Don't apologize.....pure joy watching you fly these days. And, you've become quite an eloquent spokesman for our beloved hobby (yes expensive, but you can;t take it with you!)...well done! Merry Christmas!
Dude this was such a good, wholesome, relaxing video. You’re helping lots of people our age answer questions we’d never have the opportunity to fulfill without taking the leaps you have. Thank you
Rarely comment, but I made it.
I work nights, and when I'm not working, noone else is up, so long haul videos like this are perfect.
Vlog quality is always spot on, cheers!
I do like the old intro.
Just like you, I am also afraid of heights. But for some reason, I am not afraid when I am in a plane. I watched all the way to the end, the scenery as your flying over entertains me. I am near Oshkosh, you probably flew over my house. Watching you land and camp in the mountains is truly the life. 😊
I watched and listened to this while I was building a Bush plane I really enjoy watching you fly I think you should do more runs like this it is so amazing to see your kitfox come this far I've been really inspired by all these Bush plain places I just love it thank you.
#Dutchmanbuilds If you are interested my UA-cam channel will be up in a little bit with the plane that I was building while I watched this
If you like listening to podcasts while staring at a beautiful view this slowed down version of Trent was great. Especially liked the explanation of what you were doing/thinking on flyovers and different modes of takeoff and landing.
I initially hesitated to watch such a long episode. But today I woke up about 4 a.m. and found that was the perfect opportunity to watch some aviation stuff.
I earned my private pilot license back 1976 while living in Arizona, but haven't flown in 30 years. The Nevada scenery is fantastic. As long as you're flying, the length of the video is almost irrelevant. I've enjoyed all.
Got up early watched for 27 minutes, hit pause, went to church, came home made some popcorn and watched to the end. I'm usually only good for 15 minutes before I get distracted so you did something right.
Subscribed when you were just a little guy, and watched every video since. Of course I made it!
Made it! Thank you sir for hanging out with us and being a cool and genuine inspiration!
Hey Trent I made it to the end. Yes I really enjoyed it. So you know I'm not a pilot and don't have a air plane. I took a two hour flying course. The first hour was classroom and walk around with getting familiar with the instrument panel with a instructor many years ago. Oh and what makes the plane go up and down round and round. I got to taxi all over the airport with tower permission. Talk on the radio to tower. Instructor telling me what to say. After taking of the instructor let me have the controls to fly anywhere I wanted. I soon learned I got lost up there. Found a freeway and followed it back making turns till I found the airport. The instructor landed the plane and he let me taxi back to the barn. Now 67 years old I watch your video's flying around here and there. Peace.
Trent’s video is honest,, human, modest and very competent.
I am from Rustenburg, South Africa. I'm also a Drone Pilot, Multirotor & Fixed wing. Doing surveillance, fly RC planes, jets, Helicopters & boats. RC is my passion. I love your Videos and I've made it till the end. Happy new Year
I don't get to do much flying these days so it's great to watch your videos. 1 Hour, no problem. Great job.
Don't shy away from these longer videos, this was great to watch.
32:35 ???The first line of 91.119 states "Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:" If you were invited there and were attempting to make a landing, I don't see what the problem is. I get a lot closer than 500 feet to houses all the time taking off and landing...in the city...
Trent, you are one of the reasons why my wife and I have endeavored to build our own airplane, a Christavia Mk1. You once said, "Life is too short to eat dessert last." I have embraced that mantra and have passed it on to others. I have since completed ground school and sat for the FAA written exam, and my wife is currently going through ground school. We hope to begin flying next spring. No matter the length of your videos, I watch them all and watch them to the end. Stay safe and keep doing what you're doing.
It's great to see someone who likes to be around less people but has so many people watching... great video...
My brother and I (11 and 15) enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for creating so many great things to watch. We even stayed to the end of this video! Good stuff!
I used my GI Bill to get my private pilot certificate ten years ago and was about ten hours into my instrument rating when I had to give it up. I haven't been able to afford to fly ever since, and while I'm not exactly jealous that you're able to do it and I can't...I definitely wish I'd found a way to stick with it. Flying is and always has been my favorite thing, but it's just so expensive. Maybe one day I'll get my act together and have enough disposable income to get a Kitfox and go flying, but it's both awesome and depressing to watch other people flying this way.
At any rate, thanks for the videos! It keeps the dream alive!
P.S. I did get the Freedom Fox package for FS2020, lol...
Been watching your content for years and this is my first comment. Normally the idea of a vid longer than an hour would be a negative but it was awesome. Enjoyed the casual Q & A plus all the different landing sites. You tell it like it is, and I think most are along for the ride living vicariously through you. Great vid
Trent, I made it to the end. I have been flying since 1999 with 1500 hours in a Baron for my business. I introduced my son to flying in 1999 when he was 9 years old and now he is a chief pilot flying Lear Jets. We both enjoy your videos and your adventuresome spirit! We both want to take the time to get a tail wheel endorsement and see where that might take us! Really cool stuff, keep it up!
Made it dude! You do a great job showing what off airport flying really is. Flying truly is the ultimate freedom, but landing in the backyard is one step above. I’m in SW Missouri, so “Bush” flying is just that, cattle pastures, and back yards, but still is an awesome experience! Thanks for your content!
I had to wait a little bit before I had time to watch it but did watch the entire video. I always enjoy your videos. I started flying back in the 90's but life happened and have not flown in about 20 years. I kind of live my dreams by watching aviation videos from creators like you. Keep up the good work.
A helicopter pilot and his 2 fixed wing sons enjoyed it to the End The similarities in our flying experiences are to many to mention right down to the way we acquired our first aircraft Love your videos Keep up the good work And know you have at least 3 friends in Texas
Whew, I hung in there. And LOVED every second of this video. MORE like this PLEASE.
Trent: "That went by way faster for me than I expected"
And it did for me too. Love your short videos, but one of these every now and then would be a real treat. Thanks Trent! 🛩 😄
Loved the long format Trent, and the Q&A was excellent. Would be cool to see you back on snow skis, but stay away from the crowds. Take the Freedom Fox into a high mountain area, land on snow and do some backcountry runs. Incredible what you can do with some skins and tech bindings!
I watched the entire video. You’re an engaging speaker. Not everyone can tell a story, answer a question, or just verbally interact with an audience effectively. But you can. I started watching, and subscribed to your channel after Premier 1 Driver recommended your channel several years ago. I’m also that demographic audience member who will watch an hour plus video if it’s engaging for me. In the past Premier 1 Driver’s videos were regularly one hour and I enjoyed every one of them. Your type of flying is totally different from P1D but I think the common factor is that you each possess that unique skill of genuineness on camera. A sort of “regular guy” who does extraordinary things - flies airplanes. Which is interesting to me because I’m a pilot. I like the one hour video but agree that it’s not likely to survive on UA-cam because it’s not easy to block out an entire hour of time to watch a video. That much time for some people requires planning a slot in the calendar. Many thanks for your content, Trent. Many thanks to your wife for one of my favorite quotes: “Little planes are sketch.” 😂
Enjoyed every second of this 1 hour: 4 minute: 55 second video. Thanks for the answers and insights to the questions and advice.
Hi Trent,
I normally don't watch this long of a video but being one of yours I gave it a chance. I really liked the video with you answering the questions In combination with the flying. I did watch the entire video. That is great that Nick is able to build panels for Kit Fox. That takes a lot of knowledge, experience, and patience to get it right as well as an extremely clean look. Who knows, maybe he will be able to get his aircraft parts at cost. He can always just do a little building an hour at a time, with it just taking a little longer for the finished product.
Thank you for sharing.
Take care,
Be safe.
Thanks Trent, I appreciate you taking US along!!! I'm always ready for a Ride into the Blue!!! Oh ya, especially with Fellows like Yourself!!!
I made it to the end (and it wasn't hard to do)! When I went up today, I felt rushed to be back within 45 minutes even though I didn't get outside of 10 miles from home base. Time flies when you fly.
Yes, I survived the full hour. Very enjoyable. I am a hang gliding junkie from the seventies and eighties and I so enjoy the comrardery you all have when you get together for your fly ins. It brings back great memories. You are on a winner.🤙
Heck yeah I made it. Quality content is hard to find so I try to support you guys by soaking it all in.
Was up til 1:30 in the morning watching this. To a newbie attending classes right now, the questions and discussion were real good.
Hey Trent!....I first stumbled upon your blog over 2yrs ago! This led me to the Pateys, which led me to more. I'm now a few months into building a Zenith 750 STOL!! Thanks for helping to renew my love for aviation!!
Your advice about finding an instructor you gel with is spot on. My first one was the main reason I gave up for years.
Made it to the end...it didn't feel like an hour at all. The long form content in the plane is badass! Thanks for putting this together!
Hey, with the DAYS that NICK has given to you in Valuable labor. I should believe that many Flying to see him would be appropriate. An hour flowed past.!
All of us pilots will watch anything flying so length is never a problem unless it's to short LoL. After watching your vids. I've switched from looking for a Bonanza, to searching for either a kitfox or a Just super STOL keep up the Great videos
Great video, yes. Long, I don’t think so, regular TV episodes last an hour w/ commercials. This was a solid hour of good information and all around footage. Thank you.
There was nothing wrong with your hour long video. It was very informative and entertaining. Nice you cover the drone industry and your flying hobby experience. Keep up the great work. Always look forward in seeing your video.
I made it! I also enjoyed flying with you. I always wanted to fly. As a kid Chuck Yeager was a role model. Unfortunately, at 79, I rather doubt that I will manage it so flying along with you and others via video is enjoyable. Live the life that you want to the best of your ability. It goes by faster than you realize. Take care. Stay safe and enjoy!
I made it till the end. I watched it during a drive from Frankfurt to Cologne. Bush flying will always remain a pipe dream since it is just not a thing in Europe but I will definitely get my private pilot.
watched it in two parts double the fun - double the pleasure of floating through the desert.
I made it. I’m in my workshop making a boot changing bench for my parents. This was like a video podcast. Listening to you kept me focused.
Hey Trent. Made is easily through the long vid. Great flying, great questions, great answers. You make it look sO easy. Three generations in my family follow you❗️
I made it. Twice over a several month but I had the time today. Haven't been able to fly for years I want go into here, so when I have the time I live vicariously through other pilots
It was way longer than I normally sit through but it was fun listening to your story and watching the amazing terrain you call “your back yard”! Blue sky’s and tail winds.
Definitely watched it all the way through, working on CAD and watching/listening to this goes hand in hand.
Yes, I watched it until the end. Only took a break to tell my wife that you fly into Idaho a lot. We just moved here from California a year and a half ago. Looking forward to our first trip too McCall soon. Enjoy all the different stuff on your videos.
I watched the entire video and I think it was one of your best. I was also impressed by the thoughtfulness of your answers. I am retired and am lucky to own and fly a Husky, and I thought all your answers about aviation were excellent. Thank you.
When I saw an hour long video, I was thinking I was going to pull the ripcord, but somehow, here I am at the end. Super interesting listening to it all.
Absolutely Trent I made it... Your videos are really good and the time went by fast... Thanks Trent... Can't wait for the 2 hour video!!!
"Im scard of flying" Now flying a see-through Kitfox, floating over the canyon's, peak's and valley's. Trent your such a fricken cool dude. Keep these amazing adventures coming we love to see it. Can't wait for your trip to Alaska.
Been watching your videos for a long time, and never commented... today I just want to say your videos is a break away from office work, enjoying the journeys and travels and freedoms with you, thank you for awesome content!!
Damm right I made it to the end! I'm a relative newcomer to the channel and I'm enjoying getting through the back catalogue! Inspiring stuff Trent, keep it up and fly safe. All the best from Sydney Australia.
Enjoyable and smooth easy conversation, watched while fixing supper for the family.
I Honestly loved this longer, more raw formate. I Watched it all the way through! Keep up the great content.
Made it! - Trent, you will probably never know just how much this episode has had an impact - Thanks again for the awesome filming & hope Ms Hailstorm is doing well - Happy Holidays Sir, to you & yours
I have just recently come across your channel and have to say that it has been great! I am a 41 yo guy who is well into non-aviation related career. I have flown a few times with buddies, but am more recently looking into obtaining my private cert. You have driven this desire even more with your back country adventures. I live in Oklahoma so it's not as plentiful here, but runways are fun sometimes too. Haha. Keep up the great work! You and your crew make sitting at the computer for a few videos very enjoyable. Thank you!
Oh man! Best video you've put out in a while! Reminds me of watching you chase coyotes when I first gpt into flying and was soaking up all your videos. I honestly went from clicking on your videos the second they came out to maybe, if I get around to it. Thank you, and remember what got your viewers into watching you, THE FLYING.
Trent, I watched it 2 or 3 times all the way through.
You and the Flying cowboys are a class act!
Remember to keep the rubber side down!
R. Williams,👍👍✈️✈️
It would be great if you did QA once every month or few months. I watch it all and had a great time. Thank you for sharing you time.
No Trent, your Longest video was not Too Long, you were able to cover many things that I would have never thought of with answering all your questions that were asked by your fellow experimental pilots/owners and like me -hopefully soon to be one. Thank you for making everything look real and achievable. Thanks
Tim of Barbaraandtim fame.
Made it to the end and enjoyed it ! You should do this type of video every month or two or maybe like four times a year. It realy helps to get a sense of what"s been happening in your world.
Thanks Trent, yes I watched the entire thing and never even thought about changing videos. Sometimes it's like I am setting there in the right seat and loving it. Keep it up and do what you like while you can. Once again another great video, thanks much.
This was fantastic. Hearing that you bought a plane spontaneously, you want to build a hangar but don't have the money, hearing Hailey was mad at u for buying the plane, the other tangents etc. This video makes you so relatable. I met you at Osh in 19. You were great then, but even better now. Keep em coming
I made it!
I don't have much time and it took me awhile to find the time to watch, but I enjoyed every minute. Gimme more Trent!!!
One of your better videos. You continue to improve, and as always enjoy all your videos. You are a smart young man and it is refreshing to be able to listen to you chat about Trent. Trent Palmer is Mr. Back Country Flying.....at least on UA-cam....I made it to the end. But I also am recuperating from an Appendectomy...lol....
You are such a great roll model! I made it all the way to the end - the hour passed too fast. It amazes me that someone so relatively new to flying can be so comfortable in the pilot’s seat that you just keep answering the questions WHILE LANDING in some tough spots.
I watched it to the end. It was one of the shortest hours I have ever experienced! 🙂 Every minute was great. It was nice to see everything, even though you may think some of it is boring. Trust me, none of it was boring. I took lessons years ago but financial realities made completion of my private pilot's licence impossible. Hence, I live vicariously through you. Keep flying. Keep posting. I will keep watching. Thank you.
Tom
Kind of a change in styles. It was cool hearing your responses to the questions. All good stuff! I made it!
Trent, you have some very profound insights for those who are looking at flying.
My father learned to fly on a GI bill after WW II; one of his favorite stores was the winter he qualified on skies. He always said no matter how hard you pushed on the brake it did no good.
Made It!
Understand the crowd thing completely!
Grew up golfing, skiing, snowmobiling, and hunting - all low cost and not many people around. Very hard to find similar experience now....
Hi from the UK Trent, watching this with my 1st coffee of the day on a quiet Sunday morning, an excellent watch and the hour just flew by. keep it up fella!!
My husband and I watched the whole video and enjoyed it. My husband is a private pilot and is afraid of heights too.
I’m so glad to hear you say you were scared of heights. I’m scared also but so intrigued with flight.
It sat in my watch later queue for a while but I did finally watch it all the way to the end.
Yes I made it to the end . Good info as always. No pilot stops learning. Was nice to meet you at Dead cow fly in after watching your videos for the last few years.
