Thanks for the view of the village and the school. Really adds to the video. Please include more off-airport content and comment of travelling/exploring the interior. Any chance of interviewing some of the residents of these communities? Once again. Thank you.
I agree! What a blessing it was to see the solar panel and the progress. Insights are worth twice the sights. :-) Thank you for sharing the footage and being mindful to think of posting it.
The scenic aerial views and your piloting and narrating were superb. Enjoyed the video. Thank you for the missions to our remote villages in the Highlands of PNG. ❤🙏
The coolest thing was seeing the kids in the classroom all look up from quietly studying and say good morning with a huge smile. It says everything about their parents/people.
I was in PNG with Wycliffe in '84, '85 and with New Tribes in '92. I was the nurse at Ukarumpa and Hoskins. I love watching your videos. I get homesick.
We love aviation, but we also love seeing the people of Papau New Guinea and their culture....please show more in your downtime whenever you can before your departures. It surely gives your channel a boost and let world know more about 🇵🇬
100% agreed. It was so interesting to see their village with its people and everyday life. Please show more of this whenever you can. A big thank you and warm regards from Sydney, Australia.
Thank you so much Ryan..MAF has been and still is the only air transport link in rural PNG.. You are our (PNG) very own ambassador as you present the geography and landscape.. my sincerest thank you to you and those who contributed for solar panels for the much needed valuable vaccines.. thank you for your priceless services to Jiwaka... MD 😢🎉🎉🎉❤
Always interesting, as a scientist, artist and former teacher, used to train teachers all over the world [but never PNG], I'm always interested in seeing the schooling and village life. Thanks
Spent 3 months in PNG in 1973 working as a tech for survey gear. Brings back memories of the country and the people. out in the remote areas some of the nicest people I have met. Locals in Goroka used to do the same and hang onto the fence at the runway when the RAAF C130s took off.
I've done the runway fence thing with aircraft somewhat larger than the Kodiak, and get a nice light spraying of oil all over me to prove where I'd been! ;-)
You are so good at sharing informative information about what and how you work as a bush pilot. I know my son has watched many of your videos. He is retired Air Force and is currently in college working on acquiring the licenses to fly in the mission field, where he feels God is leading him. You (and your family) are such a Godly example. Thank you🙏🏻🥰🤙
WOW - what a phenomenal place to fly. SO beautiful, so untouched (for the mist part) My dad Blew B-17 missions as Bombardier in the early Port Moresby Campaigns, and he had many, many photo's of the crews, the planes, and the native people. He had them bound into a book that he tried to make a bit of money selling at the reunions of "Kens Men" but the main flaw was the photo's had no name and rank info of the crews - and there was a LOT of crews that flew out of Port Moresby. My dad only spoke about the war years during his later years. We lost him in 1996, and for everything he told me, I now have about a hundred bazilion questions. So people, if you have questions for your parents, and they are happy to answer: Ask. Ask soon, ask often. There won't be "time later" to do so. "Time Later" is an illusion.
Thanks for showing more of the beautiful png area! The tour of the village was most interesting, more please. Fun to hear you talking with the folks esp with the subtitles. Thanks!!
Great views of the countryside Ryan. Thanks for the view of the Yamunatalk village. I never get tired of seeing papa New Guinea from the cameras you have mounted on the Kodiak. That’s quite a view.
I enjoyed it start to finish. MAF continues to service our country in the remotest parts with dignity and pride of which I take my hats off. Thank you.
My great grandfather used to argue with Park Rangers after the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He recalled that the Native Americans / Cherokee would burn off the mountains to reduce fire hazard, and wanted to burn his mountain. The Park Service wanted to return the mountains to their natural state, and prevented him from doing so or burning on their own accord in the park. So after 80 years of letting grow wild, the park experienced a big fire in 2016, as there was so much fire potential built up. Additionally, some of the "balds" (grassy fields) that tourists like to visit are starting to be reclaimed, as no one is burning... So at least here in the southeastern US historically, burning is not completely to create grasslands for the settlers' animals to graze, but also for the natives to prevent wildfires. Great video. Thanks for showing us the village. That was really cool.
A few years ago here in Australia a group of greenies stopped burn off with the result a couple of areas had there worse bushfires that destroyed a lot of homes and farms. Sinced then they have been very quiet. Once again shows feelings are not better than logic and facts.
@@stuartmcpherson1921 Yes. And the huge fires are as result of not burning off. This means the native animals all get killed. Lower intensity fires and they survived. Should send the greenies to live in these areas and experience a fire.
Loved seeing the village and school. Memories of visiting my sister many years ago when she was teaching in Mt Hagen. Took some interesting flights and road trips in those days. I must try replicating these flights in MSFS over such beautiful country like the valleys shown in this video.
So good to see Yambaitok again after almost 2 years. Spent 3 months at Kompiam Rural Hospital and enjoyed all these trips to these villages around Enga for health patrols. And flying with MAF has been the best experience ever thanks to Pilots like you that are committed to serve in these rugged terrains 💯
Thank you Ryan, this area of PNG is rather special to me as it was just north of here that my father had a forced landing on a riverbank of the Yuat river in the mid 1960s. He flew for MAF.
Yes. I did enjoy the village tour. More would be nice. We have a young friend (Isaac Pora -PNG born and raised) who attended Pensocola Christian College.
Superb situational awareness - you make it look so easy! Most GA pilots would be well out of their depth in those conditions but you gave a masterclass on how to do it. I'm only a flight simmer but over the years I've learnt from you about situational awareness and how important it is - especially in PNG. People say you talk to the cameras whilst you're flying but as far as I know that's not true - you talk to yourself because it's a system that works for you. You started filming yourself when you were asked to become a CFI and wanted to know how you would do - and the footage makes wonderful training footage for the whole world. The flight along the Jimi Valley shed new light on things - you've often commented on the amount of smoke around the places you were landing at in PNG. It never occured to me that the the locals may have been burning off the Kundai grass which I guess stiffles the local environment - fire brings new life. The insight into local traditions and practices was wonderful - helps make sense of your work in PNG. Thanks Ryan, another great video.
Ex RAAF C130 guy, I remember doing what we called PNG Trainers (was a specific endorsement to fly up there) and can still remember telling the kids NOT to stand behind the aircraft on take off but kids being kids they didn't listen, sounds bad but one of the funniest sights I ever saw was a bunch of kids hanging nearly horizontal holding on to a wire fence as we powered up. 😆 Spectacular flying in one of the most beautiful places on earth
I love your videos..as they bring back SO many memories! I was a missionary kid..with my twin sis and family. We lived at quite a few remote stations in Ethiopia. And lived there for about 16 years. Dad was a head contractor for building homes and clinics....mom a nurse. MAF was how we got to the city..for medical/dental..etc.. MAF was how we took our last flight out from our station. And ..now we live an hour away from an MAF facility in Spokane WA.. God bless your amazing team!!!
Long time viewer first time commenting. Really love the coverage of the school. That was neat to see how different people live. I’m here in California so looking at their school and how they sit on the dirt is a huge reminder. Different lifestyles can be. Also, another beautiful flight. You have an amazing job. I’ll keep watching the videos. Stay safe out there.
Yes love that stuff about the people there how they live. Thanks for showing and telling, keep up the amazing work and flying Ryan see ya next time see ya bye.
Seeing the children lining up behind the aircraft bought back some memories. I grew up on a farm at the end of Southend airport in Essex UK. This was in the 50s and 60s and it was mostly Bristol Freighters and Carvairs, but around 1960 they got a contract to work on HS121 Tridents. They could just about land and take off empty with the runway as it was then. So when it was taking off my brothers and I would get behind the fence to experience the blast of jet wash, but we only did a couple of times because the grit made it unpleasant. I remember a man was knocked off his bicycle, so they put up traffic lights to stop the traffic when the jet was taking off.
Thank you for showing the village and school. It certainly adds more to your channel.

I was at Ukarumpa in 1988 with Wycliffe as a student at BCV and was on New Britain for 2 weeks.
God bless you thanks for serving our people
I have even MORE respect for you knowing you can SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE. WOW. I AM IMPRESSED.
Thankyou for serving our remote communities. God Bless you1❤🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏

It's wonderful to see children that are respectful and have no clue what a spitball is. Those children will never have to deal with school shootings
Thanks for sharing your interaction with the people of PNG. The kids were very polite
Papua New Guinea looks so beautiful.
The tour of the village today added a lot of perspective to your work; please keep it up.
Enjoyed the view down the valley and following the river!💖🌞👑✝️😃
Great vibes, for sure.
Loved the school visit and learning of all the different languages.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always interesting, as a scientist, artist and former teacher, used to train teachers all over the world [but never PNG], I'm always interested in seeing the schooling and village life. Thanks
Love seeing around the local community. That adds so much to your content.
I think this one is your best video yet. I hope you'll do more like this one.
Very nice that you guys raised money for their medical clinic. 😊
Beautiful flight and very informative. Appreciate the beginning on the update about the village. 🙏
Great to see the village interactions
PNG is absolutely stunning with beautiful untouched virgin forests & valleys.

5:00 Wow! A class room full of young kids without the teacher and they're all so quiet. Simply amazing.
Thank you for sharing. May God bless you always.
The village tour was really interesting. More of that would be welcome !
I enjoyed it start to finish. MAF continues to service our country in the remotest parts with dignity and pride of which I take my hats off. Thank you.
Definitely, I would love to see more of the villages and the different places. I travel Papua New Guinea trough your channel. Thanks and God bless!!
Let's see more like this! Love seeing things off the beaten path, thanks for showing us around the village as well!
Enjoyed the tour of the village and the scenic valley. 😎👍

I worked in PNG back in 1996 and I still have fond memories of the peoples there.
Loved the walk around the village thank you.
What a beautiful little community of very nice people. Thank you for sharing that.
Yes, your visits into the villages are fascinating. More please.
Much appreciated video of the rural settings in EHP, fascinating country side footage from the air. God bless Chief.. 🙏👍✅💯
Thank you for the tour of the village and also the great track back to Goroka via the river valley. Awesome work, Ryan!

Thankyou for this beautiful and very informative video. please continue to do more
Yes

I totally agree! I'd highly recommend reading the landmark book "1492".
@@stuartmcpherson1921 Yes. And the huge fires are as result of not burning off. This means the native animals all get killed. Lower intensity fires and they survived. Should send the greenies to live in these areas and experience a fire.

Thank you for sharing Papua New Guinea with the world.
Loved seeing the village and school. Memories of visiting my sister many years ago when she was teaching in Mt Hagen. Took some interesting flights and road trips in those days.
I must try replicating these flights in MSFS over such beautiful country like the valleys shown in this video.
Thank you for this look around!
Very nice. I really enjoy when you take us around the villagers. The scenery on this one was fantastic. Beautiful country.
Thanks MAF for your help with big support thanks God bless you all
Thank you for serving in remote part in Papua New Guinea..God will truly blessed you and your family..

Nice seeing the village people and kids...new perspective on your work in PNG
Thx Ryan...beautiful flight and narrative of the flight at low level.
Very Cool. Thank you for the scenic detour.
Thank you so much for your time and concern for the people of Papua New Guinea (PNG). You are doing a wonderful job. God bless you.
