Papua Bush Pilot: Landing & Taking Off on a Mountain Strip. Pilatus Porter
Vložit

- The flight takes place in the mountains East of Wamena. The village is called Salema. The Runway is 210m "short" and very steep at the top. It has a bump in the first third and we aim to land on that transition.

You're one of the most underrated CZcams channels!
I can't imagine how much time and energy it took to get that footage of you landing and taking off, leaving the camera with the elder!
What I great landing as well, really taking leaps and bounds with videography since I started following you, thank you!

Thanks so much for your message! I did put in many hours on this video and I can also agree that my editing skills have improved a little bit haha. I'm super glad you liked the video, cheers! GBY
Im so impressed - the video, the music, the people, the plane, the airmanship.... its just stunning. Just stunning.
Thank you so much for that ☺️🙏
This is beyond words...... i mean the photography, the music the terrain .. everything is mind boggling good ... the take off is in just 6 seconds man
kudos to all
Thank you for your kind words! More vids will come and I hope you like them 🙏 cheers!
I am a Dutch grandma living in Cambodia. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I have no regrets but in my next life I want to be a bush pilot.
When there's a will there's a way! Thank you for your message 🙏🤗
Please tell that Elder who took the video of your Landing that I watched it from Texas, and he did a really great job!
Will definitely tell him haha! Glad you liked his footage! They made my video! Cheers!
The sad thing is the fact that Pilatus quit building our beloved PC-6, a true delight to fly. Always made me proud to be Swiss, flying a Swiss plane into places no one else would dare. ;)
Indeed it's sad no more Pilatus Porter are being made. It's an incredible machine that does the job extremely well.
i honestly believe someday it will come back into production.
Yussss this is your best video yet man, the tunes were perfect and dig the colour correction 👌
Thanks so much my bru!!! Like I've said many times, it means so much coming from you!
Absolutely beautiful! The flying, music, composition, the story this tells of people, fantastic job! Brings tears to my eyes!
So glad! Makes me want to do more and better. Thank you so much 🙏
I always admire this versatile iron bird PC6 from Swiss. Can fly anywhere, anytime!
It's a great machine! Thanks for the comments!
Very beautiful video! The music, the views, villagers, landings and take-offs! Great job in capturing everything in such a nice way😊
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏😁
Beautiful shots and what incredible STOL capabilities it has 😮
Totally agree! Thanks!
Awesome, Incredible, Amazing, Excellent. Que Dios Te Bendiga Hermano.
Thanks so much Hermano! Deus te abençoe tambien!
Shout out to Jacob. His good camera work gave extra value to this beautiful and genuinely amazing video record of a very special corner of this amazing planet. Bravo!
Thanks, greetings from Norway! 👍😃🇳🇴
Thanks for watching! Cheers from Papua!
thanks for your service on Papua.. God Bless You.
First time visit to your channel. Absolutely amazing. The videography is fantastic and I really like the inclusion of the villagers and the fact the elder filmed your landings. I agree - he did a good job. That is really flying and must be challenging each and every day. Thanks.
Видео было снято очень талантливым человеком, настоящим художником! А пилот - великий мастер! Респект и уважуха!)
Maravilhoso! Ganhou uma seguidora do Brasil. Encantada com seus vídeos... A música, as paisagens, as pessoas, seu belo avião e sua coragem! Parabéns! Emocionante!
Kontribusi Pilatus & MAF di tanah Papua sangat besar. Tuhan Yesus memberkati pilot² misionaris yang melayani di tanah Papua ❤
Very precise touchdown in that exact transition! Very nicely done
Thanks Riki!!
I like your videos,it is amazing,hope you be safe forever,a watcher from China.
Thank you very much!
Notwithstanding the cheesy bird thing at the end, an outstanding video of two most unusual lifestyles. On the ground and in the air.
Selamat melayani! Man for and with others 👍👍👍AMDG!
Thank you Pak 🙏
We used to jump one of these in both Spain and the UK.. That vertical beta mode decent (sometimes with a skydiver holding the wingtip) was amazing!..:)
Your work is stunningly beautiful.. The flying part is just a bonus. I must just be lucky to have stumbled onto your channel a while back. The music, the camera work, editing, the people...everything is great. Keep it up and you will get discovered. Thanks for your posts!!!
Thank you very much! I hope you're right! Thank you for taking the time to drop me a message. It motivates me to do more and better. Cheers 🙏
So beautiful. Loved the music the people. And how fast your plane gets off the ground.
Thanks fow sharing really enjoy with the beautiful music as well😊❤
Wow! I am absolutely impressed of your video and these super cuts from children and natives! Sound combinated with motions also touched me deep❤ What special place an earth it is...thank you bro 4 your Job....or vocation you live😊
- warm greetings from Carinthia/ Austria❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀 so glad you enjoyed it. Comments like yous make me want to do more and better 🙏☺️
That landing was perfection. I'm inclined to think you have experience landing on an aircraft carrier.
Thank you very much 🙏 I wish I had haha would love to fly a jet!
Your videos are getting better and better, you certainly have great skills, truly amazing.
Great vid... My dad worked with Bechtel in Peru. He had a twin otter on floats at his disposal, what a blast it was flying through the mountains and landing in the amazon river... Stay safe brother.
Thanks for sharing your story! Keep well bro!
Like a dream. One of the best aviation videos I’ve seen. Great timing, music, sound mixing.
AMazing morning at wamena sir....
Like a dream job: how beautiful your work is. Thank you, i really enjoyed this video.
Only one word : Beautiful 💚
Beautiful video!
Awesome airplane.
This airplane reminds me during when I was in Laos .
Great video, amazing pilot and fantastic Porter. I flew the Porter several years as a skydiverpilot in Germany. But landscape and airfields are definitely not comparable.
Thanks Mike! The Porter is an incredible machine! Thanks for sharing your experience flying her.
ANDRE!!! totally badass man you are the bird now. that which was inner is now total.
Awesome new video Andre, they just keep getting better and better!
Thanks bru! So glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!

Stunning video enhanced by with new tricks and equipment ! Every video…..touchdown is perfection with stall warning gently tweeting….. C’MON……show us the hairy ones!!! They can’t all be like that….most of mine were !!😂😂😂
Excellent footage and a beautiful and well-composed film. Many thanks for posting and keep it up.
Thanks, will do! Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!!
Love what you do! Brilliant Channel!
Thank you! Cheers!
Top top merci beaucoup ❤ quel passion ce pilote hors norme bravo ❤
Thank you! Cheers mate! 🙏
Thank You Pilatus! I really enjoyed that..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful Papua, Wonderful Indonesia
this is Amazing
your camera placement on the plane and the drone flights are really
excellent . i do t have much interest in flying but your videos are fascinating . it's always a mystery as to what could happen on each runway .
Thank you so much for your kind message! More vid will come soon! Keep well
I'm enjoying myself here.
Incredible service for residents of this beautiful space in West Papua. Congrats.
Fantastic cinematography! Extraordinary people, animals and views. What a fabulous calling very well done. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just wow!!
Keep it up for the next video! It’s always great combinations between soundtracks and scenery!!! 👍🏻
Thanks, will do! Cheers!
Beautiful!
So love what you do for the people. I enjoy the happy faces and the anticipation of when they first hear your engine. Do you do flyover to notify your about to land? How do the people know when your arriving ? Did I hear a stall warning just as your touching down?
Thanks for your kind message, Bruce! Yeah, I usually overhead unless I have established radio coms with the village. In that case, and if they know I’m coming I’ll just go straight in to final.
I guess if there are no radios then the ppl will only know the plane is coming when they hear it 😂
Yes, we usually land on the stall warning.
Cheers for your question! Keep well
De Maceió Alagoas nordeste do Brasil 🇧🇷 sempre acompanho os seus videos
Is very short take off..hats off pilot!
Brilliant and fond memories of flying in these aircraft in PNG in the 1970's whilst serving with the Australian SAS Regiment on training exercises, so compact, so versatile. What a fantastic tool it was. Even recall a Pilatus landing on and taking off from the football oval at the back of our barracks at Swanboursne Western Australia. I did notice though the huge improvements in the avionics from the 1970's !!
Jacob did a wonderful job, thanks Jacob.
No doubt! Cheers!
Love the videos on your channel.
Glad you like them!
Wonderful start with that amazing sunrise 💛🙌☀️
Obrigado mana querida 😘😘
That shot Jacob got of you landing is amazing… you are brave sir
King of Pilot
Nice video
Автор! Спасибо! Невероятные видео!

Thank you very much!
Thank you so much Capt, for your service and dedication
Thank you!
Thank you, Captain Andre, I watched from West Papua. Free west Papua
Papua is Indonesia and always will be.. Did you hear that 2.59 : hi mobil kenapa thats Indonesia language😊
@@alfi_74 Indonesian lands of West Papua are illegal Indonesian colonizers
@@alfi_74 Indonesia's natural wealth is depleted by humans. The humans whose realm you belonged to were killed in prison and abandoned
@@nuraphistory9378 aww poor jealous people.. let's see in the future who will excel
Not jealous at all. This is a fact in Papua
man the view at 4:48 was mind blowing, sweet vid mate
I was thrilled. Beautiful edition. Congratulations,
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely incredible!! So glad I found this amazing channel!!
Glad you enjoy it! Welcome on board!
Lo mejor que ves de aviones en CZcams,😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍
Wonderful vídeo
Какая классная машина портер. Универсальный солдат, надежный, как швейцарские часы!
This is sensational. What a beautiful video. These people live in the clouds! It's like watching a scene from Avatar only the people aren't blue and 12 feet tall.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
In the late 70s early 80s the Pilatus Porter was in service in the Australian Army, and I had a bit of experience with the aircraft. Remarkable aircraft, so capable and versatile. I enjoyed those days.
Your best video yet Andre! Thanks for posting!
Hey John! Thanks so much for being part of my journey in this channel! It motivates me to do more and better. Keep well!
Sensational! Amazing!
Had the honor of talking to a a Porter pilot with over a thousand jungle landings. He said the Porter was designed to be a plane for the pilot that could do anything. The abilities of pilot and plane complimented each other.
Wonderful - inspiring video
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@APilotsHome 3:11am Wyoming time. Bet it's just getting into evening where you are. I've share this video with my fellow Wyoming piloe
friends.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it Maverick. Keep well, cheers!
Your vid is magical Sir in every way !....................there is a saying here in NZ "keep it real " and you certainly do Sir...............this is probably the very best vid on youtube.................I thank you so much
Many thanks Sir! I really appreciate your message. It motivates me to do more. Cheers!
sangat kagum.
nice editing.
That's what we call a ski jump in Norway. Usually we only send people mad enough to fly with skis, but they only get you so far.
Stunning, marvelous footage and editing. It has really changed into something unique!
Hahaha 😂 liked the comparison!
Thanks so much for your message, Knutt. It means a lot since you have inspired me so much! Keep them coming 😁
@@APilotsHome Thanks! It’s fantastic to follow your journey. I have a Spitfire video coming soon.
Can't wait to see it man! It's one of my aviation dreams to fly in one!
النسر النبيل ، عمل رائع الموسيقى رائعة طريقة التصوير ثورية وخارقة أوجه الدعوة لمنتجي أفلام هوليود التفكير بإنتاج فيلم وثائقي أو روائي عن عملك الإنساني وأنا أفكر بهذا بشكل جدي وفقك الله
Your words are very kind. Thank you so much. God bless you sir!
Great video I would say your best for sure!! All in good harmony till the end where the eagle becomes you!!

It’s not the flight so much, as it is the atmospherics of flying that makes this video so remarkable.
I felt lifted…
Thank you for your kind message 🙏 it makes me want to do more and better! Cheers!
