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. CZcams 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!
Thanks for taking us along, Trent. Really appreciated you giving this personal time to us. Keep on keeping on dude.
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
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 don’t think it was too long of a video. Enjoyed it very much, very informative. Thanks Trent!
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...
Really enjoyed the long format with the Q&A session. Keep them coming maybe every two weeks or once month.
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 🙏🏻
Aww yes, and the original intro!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I do like the old intro.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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 CZcams channel will be up in a little bit with the plane that I was building while I watched this
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!
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. 😊
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.!
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!
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
You can actually fly on an extremely low budget if you're willing to go the Part-103 route. KitFox once made an aircraft called the "KitFox Lite" which fell into this category. And the Part-103 category means you do not need a pilot's license, or insurance, or an annual inspection, or a medical checkup. It's basically regulated as a lawn chair, as long as your machine meets the requirements. But since the original design, KitFox sold the "Lite" platform several times, and is now in the hands of a guy named Chris Duel(?), who still makes them through his company called "Badlands Aircraft". They're sweet little airmobiles, and they're the only Part-103 chassis that looks like a "real plane". It genuinely looks like a baby KitFox.
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
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!
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!
Made it! Thank you sir for hanging out with us and being a cool and genuine inspiration!
Don't shy away from these longer videos, this was great to watch.
I don't get to do much flying these days so it's great to watch your videos. 1 Hour, no problem. Great job.
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!
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
Enjoyed every second of this 1 hour: 4 minute: 55 second video. Thanks for the answers and insights to the questions and advice.
It's great to see someone who likes to be around less people but has so many people watching... great video...
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!
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!
Yep, I made it all the way to the legend section. Score! Interesting questions. As a Piper Pacer owner, thanks for the shout out! It is a very under appreciated airplane, along with the Tri-Pacer! They are the “Rodney Dangerfield of aviation” because they never get any respect!!!
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
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.
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
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!
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.
I’m so glad to hear you say you were scared of heights. I’m scared also but so intrigued with flight.
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.
Your advice about finding an instructor you gel with is spot on. My first one was the main reason I gave up for years.
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.
Subscribed when you were just a little guy, and watched every video since. Of course I made it!
Trent’s video is honest,, human, modest and very competent.
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.
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.
My midlife crisis was AVIATION. I started my training with savings then after around 10 hrs in I put an add on the bulletin board for washing and waxing planes at my small local airport where I was training and that's how I paid for my private ticket. Always a way to find a ways to pay for your training debt free.
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.
Was up til 1:30 in the morning watching this. To a newbie attending classes right now, the questions and discussion were real good.
As is apparent Trent, there is a real market for long form videos, especially from prop heads and former pilots like me who live vicariously now through others who actually get out there and do it. We really appreciate the effort it takes to "feed the beast", with new video product to stay relevant and interesting. You have a pleasant TV presence that informs and entertains, and I always come away from your videos feeling Iike I should get off my butt and get back out there flying again and add some real value to living, instead of as a sedentary but relatively young retiree, just watching life go by. As Bobby Dylan used to say, -"Keep on keepin' on!"
Heck yeah I made it. Quality content is hard to find so I try to support you guys by soaking it all in.
Hi Trent my name is Cruiser Chris World Network nice to meet you I've always been a big fan of Aviation since I was a little kid my dad worked in the Aerospace engineering industry
Awesome! Nice to see you over here on the channel!
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....
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.
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.
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!
I made it, because long form youtube videos are my favorite thing. They make for great entertainment when working or painting something.
watched it in two parts double the fun - double the pleasure of floating through the desert.
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.
Apparently I'm a legend! This was great! I don't think I could watch an hour long video too terribly often, but it got me through my workout this AM. You should definitely do these on a semi regular basis. Thanks!
Wish I had seen your videos over a year ago very much a pleasure very easy to watch definitely could watch more perfect thank you
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!!
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
You should absolutely go to Alaska (and take us along for the ride)! 👍
Get your friend Paul Guschlbauer to give you an “Alaska by Bush Plane- tour”, because that is his playground.
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.
When I started I rented 150-152’s for about $12-$14/hour wet at Lindbergh Field in San Diego. I could afford that. Only flew for 5 years or so but have never forgotten the thrill
I listen to most of this while I was a work so this 1 hour video was perfect
Enjoyable and smooth easy conversation, watched while fixing supper for the family.
It sat in my watch later queue for a while but I did finally watch it all the way to the end.
I took me 3 days to watch it all because of a million interruptions but I enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely watched it all the way through, working on CAD and watching/listening to this goes hand in hand.
Great video Trent. I know lots of us would love to see that barrel role in intro from the outside from the ground or another plane....just one the thing you never see in a bush plane!!!!!!
You might not be comfortable making such a long video, but I had no problem watching to the end. Thanks for taking the time!
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❗️
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!
Its funny that you mention Tucker's Vlogs because after watching his 5 part video on the Icarus race your channel appeared in my suggestions and im so glad I decided to check this out because you are a legend and everytime I watch your videos I feel like I'm on the adventure with you 👊
Keep doing what you love Trent you're an inspiration mate
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,👍👍✈️✈️
Tsym for awnsering my question at 36:05 ! I live basically in the middle of the desert and there's alot of open fields around my house. Going into my ppl soon and I want to do bush flying like you so ty!
My husband and I watched the whole video and enjoyed it. My husband is a private pilot and is afraid of heights too.
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!
Glad to see a flying video. No more hanger construction.
Made it to the end and it was awesome. Husbands two planes he wanted when he was in his 20’s were a RV6 and a Kit-fox. Many vacations at Osh Gosh.
Love our Pacer. Flew it from Denver to High Sierra, two guys, full camping gear.
Thank you for your videos. They bring me back to my younger years when I played in much of the area in which you fly. I enjoy trying to identify your location of which I traveled, on the ground, of course.
A suggestion: a video of the same type showing all the once great fishing lakes of the Sierras just north and south of highway 70. I know much of that area has so sadly burned. Thanks again.
Thoroughly enjoyed your extended content on this one. Kitfox is my dream A/C.
Trent, I just had a leisurely lunch in front of my computer with you flying round having an interesting Q&A session while operating off some wonderful bush strips! As a change from your usual style it was great, maybe one of these every two months or so would be enjoyable. I certainly made it though without losing concentration. Kind Regards.
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.
I made it bro. Thanks for the tour. I'm gonna be doing some east coast back country flying soon. I have a Quicksilver MX Sport. Different type of plane different scenery. I don't think I'll ever be as good at editing tho. You're the best. Stay safe.
Made it to the end, thanks for taking us along for the ride! For a future video, could you do a “What can you roll over with bush wheels”? Compared to a 172 I’m curious what kind of stuff they open access to and what your personal limit would be.
Kind of a change in styles. It was cool hearing your responses to the questions. All good stuff! I made it!
I made it to the end & the journey was well worth it. It would be great to see this format once a year.
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!!!
