I used the same as a Civil Air Patrol cadet in 1966 at Cornelia Fort airport in Nashville TN, It in a huge pile of trees but the top stuck up just a bit. later a Super Cub stalled on landing and hit that tree. Me and the other cadets beat the Fire dept there by 30 minutes.
I do not understand all the thumbs down, we are observing a very professional pilot, great checklist discipline, adherence to SOPs, in a very unforgiving environment. As a retired airline pilot and before my airline career an Air Force Rescue HC-130H Instructor Pilot and On Scene Commander I say kudos Captain, great job, keep the videos coming!
In 1981, I went on a mission trip with 21 youth from various parts of the USA, I was one of the leaders. It was with teens mission international. We resurfaced that airstrip you landed on in this video. My husband and I just stumbled onto this video. I actually just finished up with a relapse of malaria that I got when I was there. Amazing to see that the fruit of our labor continues on!!!! My husband asked me to marry him while I was there. Rachelle
@missionary bush pilot : you want to see the comment above! ^^^^ I wish YT had a better/easier way of "pinging" a comment so the creator would be notified. From my experience its either a constant stream of notifications for every comment or nothing at all so busier creators tend to miss some really good comments through the simple reality of overwhelming volume. Glad you made it through the relapse. I have enough chronic medical problems that I tend to avoid adding too them (so I avoid areas with high malaria risks).
please understand that bush pilots will ALWAYS be a better pilot than commercial pilots who rely on autopilot and other hands off technology. If you want to be a great pilot PLEASE either be a bush pilot or do as much manual flying as possible!
Hi Ryan, as a private pilot here in the states, I truly enjoy “riding along” with you and learning how you do what you do. Thank you for sharing your days with us.
@@MissionaryBushPilot Your Professionalism, Attention to Detail, and Ability are Exceptional. You remind of a Military Pilot. Blue Angels, Thunderbird Aviator !
Rob G Ryan, I’m also a high-time pilot who retired from flying my old Travelair, a super great plane which I miss so much. Boy, I‘be learned so much from your very professional way of flying......... and all fromNew Ginnie (?). Out in east Buman f^~…\k, or wherever. You’re just super as a teacher, thanks so much, but at 76, I can at least dream of the old days. Thanks so much. Dave in Phoenix Arizona USA
10+ Years as a UH60 driver (A/L), it is good to see that others in the other sectors talk through their actions "in the event of" (on T/O). We discuss our landing situations and abort criteria, but there are times where things are more "routine" that it may be substituted for (Standard landing/abort criteria). Thanks for sharing! Glass cockpit is nice!
Before retiring 8 years ago, I flew Corporate aircraft and never have I experienced the flying you’re doing. I’m very impressed with your piloting skills. Love your videos.
Super awesome to watch and listen too. I'm 73 and have never been a pilot or flown an airplane, but I felt like I was a passenger watching this. Thanks for the ride.
People like you make UA-cam what it should be. Offering a true insight in to what life is like for people we would otherwise have no idea of what they do. You skill level is amazing and I truely enjoy the courage and professionalism you put in to your job. The people you work for should be properly proud of your skills..
There is no way I would fly these approaches. I take my hat off to you for doing such an excellent job. Love the channel and happy to remain an armchair pilot. :)
I was born and grew up in PNG and spent a lot of time in the right hand seat watching the pilots of ''Douglas Airways'' do their stuff as a good friend of my parents was a pilot for them. Out of that was born my passion for flying, culminating in my PPL (out of Naples Fla. ) . Love your video's even if they do make me feel homesick.
As a private pilot the last 40+ years I would say that was as fine a piloting job as I've ever seen. And doing it while giving a running commentary without missing a beat...Well done, well done! BTW, always a big fan of MAP and the incredible job they do around the world. God bless!
I spent time in PNG in the late 1970's and early 80's in Bouganville and Lae, watching this brought bake the memories of being flown into the remote airstrips. What you do takes some courage and plenty of attention to detail and concentration.
As a medical student in 1966 I went to work at Bundi the new New Guinea highlands. We flew in a DH Single Otter with a radial engine and landed on the strip that was a ridge with the top shaved off. This excellent video brought that back to me. Thanks for an excellent video.
Looks at mountains covered in trees tries to find The One Tree... That's awesome. Never a dull moment on these flights and I love the attention to detail in the videos. Really makes you feel like part of the team rather than just a passenger.
If you put up a pole or a visual aid instead of "that" tree, the natives will cut it down. Why? because it is there. From my own experience on dive charters in PNG.
This kind of piloting is NOT for a weak hearted person. A bush pilot needs strong mind, guts, pure skill and an absolute total focus. One simple mistake and you will history. WTG bro.
I love how you're setting all these instruments as you get ready to land--but you still have to find that "one tree" to make it successful! Really enjoy getting to take these flights with you, Ryan. Thank you for taking the time to document them and for all the unseen work you do to get them ready to post. We appreciate you!
Great job landing again, and thanks for showing and telling. Nice trip nice green woods just nice all around. Keep up the flying that plane doing great job be safe have a good one see ya next time take care will see ya bye.
10,000k + hr airline pilot and instructor, and corporate pilot here, saying thank you for the incredible footage, the high level of professionalism, including the “tree” you reference on approach. Awesome. Recently have filmed some of my own flying, and am truly impressed at your knowledge, skills, and abilities, not to mention putting yourself in front of the camera. Incredible. Two thumbs up!
He just had his Kodiak upgraded with CAT III-B Instrument Landing System. The field is also fully ILS. ;-) Great video, as always. Love the inflight narrative.
@@PaulGarthAviation I installed ILS, TACAN, and Communications gear for 4 yrs in the Air Force. Installing a glide slope & localizer at this strip would be the mother of all challenges. Would be fun to try tho.
His eyes are better than the wide angle lens GoPro, which makes everything look much further away! Our guy picks out the same tree every time to set up his final. That's good eyes! Especially when it is cloudy.
Blue Sky Aviation, Mongolia (part of MAF) saved my wife's life with a medical emergency airlift while we were serving in Mongolia. Same type of plane. Nice landing brother, keep up the good work.
I could watch these videos all day. I am just a low time private pilot but watching you manage the cockpit and various flight controls and radio comms and narrate the flight still seems a bit overwhelming to me. You do a great job of staying calm and confident and staying ahead of the work load. Thank you for producing these videos and sharing with us the real experience of your work day.
@Terrel Brown Catholic Church, Lutheran, Seventh Day Adventists are your 3 major religions. Cannibalism is probably still ongoing with some of the tribes in the deepest and most remote parts of the highlands (jungle) but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who admits it.
Great video! Having flown numerous times and never considered the immense knowledge and skillset of pilots! A real eye opener for me, especially the 900 ft tree!
Found this channel watching GiantWaffle (sim gamer on Twitch)--he showcased this video while playing Microsoft Flight Sim 2020. Instant fan of you sir. What a life! Thank you. Keep it up and be safe.
I envy you. Do good for people and God and enjoy heavenly scenery. If I could start all over again, it would be something like this. You're flights reminded me of the Porter PC6 I used to fly with my dad (communications officer co-pilot) in the 70's in Laos. We used to land on dirt runways bull-dozed in the middle of a jungle ridge just like Yombitok except steeper incline (20 degrees incline from foot to tip of runway. Only one approach as the tip of the runway ended at a cliff five hundred feet from the mountain summit. My dad used to evacuate mountain villagers away from battle front areas. I don't even know why he took me along sometimes but I'm glad he did. The memories stayed with me all my life and the scenery was just like your low level flights.
Friends of mine are missionary's in PNG, they are back here in Canada on furlough. They talk about you great pilots all the time, this was great to watch.
Great. I am learning to fly. Watching the landing was nerve racking. I was on the edge watch during the descent. It was a relief when you touched down. bravo!
Although I'm not a pilot, and don't know much about flying the way you explains things make it sound so interesting to watch. Thx for sharing and stay safe.
i don't know why this was in my recommended. i never thought i'd be interested in watching this sort of stuff. but the whole video was fascinating. i don't understand a tenth of what you talked about, but i like the way you talked about it.
Hi Bush Pilot, thank you so much for the great work you are doing for MAF in PNG for flying in one of the most difficult and challenging flying conditions to bring services to some of the most remotest and isolated places of the country. I love watching your videos with your flying activities. Keep up the great work! May God bless you, and the sponsors.
Great video. Glad to have stumbled across it! Brings back memories, actually. Thanks for your ministry. And, yes, I too thought "looking for a specific tree" was a pretty funny line!
Awsome Content. I love how you explain so many details. Really helping me understanding your job, turboprops and landing on such strips. Greetings from Germany Pilot Paul :)
Awesome video and content, enjoyed the entire flight with you and thank you for serving these remote parts of the planet.... you are doing an awesome service to mankind....God bless you and keep up the wonderful job 👍👍👍
I was born at Mambisanda, the hospital station near Wapenamanda. Folks were missionaries for 12 years. Last lived at Pausa in 1972, as an eight year old kid. Fun to see bits of home again. Grew up flying to Madang in DC3s.
@@MissionaryBushPilot A few more months and it will be so big he will not have time to read and reply as he does now. Ah, the price of success ! Enjoy his company while we can .
Excellent upload . Good content and presentation. Skilled bloke doing his job. Bit of a worry if you had an engine out over those forests. Not many flat spots anywhere !
Thanks for this video. I support several missionary pilots in PNG, and would love to come be one myself. Glad to see you answering the call. Please stay safe.
Very Nice Landing. I landed on that airstrip and opened in 1986 on a Cessna 206 when I was flying with MAF. I will be following you. Please post many more... God Bless you for what you are doing.
Would like to see more at the end of your vids, interaction with the local population...faces, conversation, unload, etc. That would be extremely interesting. Tnx.
Brings back the "not so old days"... I am home in the US but I worked in Kiunga until just a few years ago.i love PNG, the people are awesome, just a great place to be. Nice to see that part of the world again! Thanks!!!
I also got the Kodiak for X-Plane. I have just finished building some Ortho for Papua New Guinea and may give the flight a go later. If you are interested in the coordinates for Yambaitok they are 4°59'47.37"S 143°57'37.70"E, found using google earth.
Amazing videos! 👌😎 Gonna be following you for sure. Thank you for making these! "Flying is hours and hours of boredom sprinkled with a few seconds of sheer terror" - _Gregory_ _“Pappy”_ _Boyington_
Solo flyer. Fantastic and i just realised its not easy to being a pilot especially to bring cargoes to people in remote areas which only rely on air transport and all the risks and turbulence that follows on bad days. Thankyou lo halivim PNG people.
Definitely one to have a go when FS2020 releases!! What an approach, that is real flying, I can't imagine the feeling it is to do that approach, nice job!! :D
I also bet the locals love it when a foreign guy in sunglasses risks his blood and treasure to land on their sketchy runway to deliver needed supplies.
I'm trying to become a pilot. It's something I've been thinking about for a career despite how late in the game it might be for me. In any case, what you're doing is essentially, exactly what I want to do as a pilot. This video gives me just what I need to strive for my goal. I would love to see more and will continue to watch your videos to learn more about becoming a pilot.
"Looking fir a specific tree", in a jungle, IN A JUNGLE!!!! Expert pilot.
@Brisdad53 IFT
i think he was cutting the grass you could see the clippings flying up

You should have cut the grass shorter!
Mrnjolsson grass grows ya know
As a student pilot... This guy HAS to be a better pilot than most airline fellas
The illegal miners do it a lot in brazilian amazon.. =(
I mean probably the same training. I would say he has a less stressful job. I wouldnt say better
Most airline guys have done similar flying before the jets, including myself.

'
It's not. I mean you can visually find it where it's supposed to be, but there's no active airstrip at that location.

That's a "Air America" landing - on a twisted runway, sneaking around the landscape, lining up with a tree, and having to get the grass cut!!!

YEah and I'm looking fora specific blade of grass lol
I had a puckered AH just watching you setting up for that landing. Brother you have nerves of steel. Amazing flying skills.
I sometimes forget to turn my car on before putting it into drive
Back in the 1980's , I worked with this group to raise money for their operations. One of the highlight of my life
Definitely one to have a go when FS2020 releases!! What an approach, that is real flying, I can't imagine the feeling it is to do that approach, nice job!! :D
I hope they model The Tree accurately in FS2020! 😂
Thanks for your service! A good friend flew for Air Serve. I like the way you explain everything going on with the flights. Ex pilot single engine.
I bet the locals love it when a foreign guy in sunglasses tells them to cut the grass lmao.
I also bet the locals love it when a foreign guy in sunglasses risks his blood and treasure to land on their sketchy runway to deliver needed supplies.
I wonder if a mower would fit in that Kodiak.
Fascinating watch! We are supporters of the Venter and this gives an insight into what flying in PNG entails!
Think I read that in my "What *Bush Pilots Never Say" book.... *They didn't cut the grass. There be chickens in there!
I thoroughly enjoyed the ride with commentary! Very nice!
I closed my eyes as he turned final to commit... nope... ain’t looking. Lol.
I'm trying to become a pilot. It's something I've been thinking about for a career despite how late in the game it might be for me. In any case, what you're doing is essentially, exactly what I want to do as a pilot.
This video gives me just what I need to strive for my goal. I would love to see more and will continue to watch your videos to learn more about becoming a pilot.
