THIS is Why Bush Pilots have HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Really cool flight and conversation. Andrew seems like a good dude!

Love seeing these remote villages, and the residents are so happy!

I really enjoyed the flight. The entire conversation between the two of you was very informative. I always wondered how much interaction you had with the other missionaries. The arrows that you add are always appreciated. I like the drone and time lapse too. 🙏 🙏

You guys would definitely be bored to death being airline pilots. A friend of mine is an airline pilot - not long after I met him I said "that is SO cool - I'm jealous of your job" and he replied "don't be - after you learn all the systems it's exactly like being a bus driver!"

As someone who flew into Goroka in 1987 the ANG plane was met by 100 or so people half of them in tribal dress. When I asked my supervisor why did they turn up she said 'they just came to see the plane'. There was also a fair amout of Cargo Cult going on at the time. Virgins were being sacrificed in the belief a plane would land full of goddies, a legacy of WW11 when the Yanks flew shitload of stuff in. In the highlands there were rascal gangs who'd lay tree trunks across roads to block traffic and hold people up. The climate there was the best in the world. That changed when I went to Lae where in was 33 degess at 9am and humidity 100%. What a country to fly in. Stay safe.

Great to hear about Andrew's experience.

It‘s so calming down for me to see this great nature and you and your plane interacting with it 🤩.

I love how you explain every aspect of the flight in detail but in a way that everyone can understand it! Always fantastic videos!

I enjoy every video. PNG is such a beautiful country. God bless you and your family.

Wow, first time I heard the winds from the TWR.
BTW: 5,000 ft and above produces the best coffee.
Well done.

The time lapse return trip was cool…..thanks for the vlog!

Another stunning flight, Andrew is in good hands👍Seeing those runways as a rookie must be very daunting but learning from the master will make it less daunting for sure👍

Thank you Ryan. Really enjoyed this. :-)

I really liked the time lapse video as well as all your videos. With the time lapse you can really see the terrain and the mountains so well. Thanks

That was a beautiful landing.
Listening to you and Andrew talking about flying as missionaries..I pray God always protects you while flying. God bless you both.

I get high blood pressure just by watching these landings 🙂

Another great video! The Goroka scenery always makes me homesick. A couple of people asked about the facility at 16:40. That's the new Kainantu "K92" gold mine. Hopefully they aren't dumping cyanide into the Ramu River like Ok Tedi did. Someone mentioned the cultivated areas. As you come out of the Finisterres at around 36:05 you see the Gusap River. The first big cultivated area is the Gusap Palm oil plantation which is relatively new. Then a few miles down the Ramu River at 36:22 is Ramu Sugar, which has been there for decades.

I was hour building for my CPL when the 2008 banking crisis hit. That put an end to my flying. But PNG would have been my dream flying. I do not have much interest in ATPL bus flying. I live and flew in the Scottish highlands. Not so big peaks but lots of weather to contend with.

Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode!

Loved the time lapse on the way back
