No, the fire extinguishers were part of his skydiving redundant system. If he has issues with the chute, he turns on both fire extinguishers, and in theory, he should land like a SpaceX rocket or Iron Man.
THIS COMMENT WINS🤣🤣🤣
I would just take a jet pack
🤣
I thought the same. Pull the pins and point it to the clouds a-la Fat Albert doing JATO. If the extinguishers were recently inspected, it COULD be enough altitude gain to make it to that perfect riverbed landing spot under a good canopy. This does bring up an important point however. What if the extinguishers WERE’NT inspected?? Is this another fine for Trevor? Maybe fire marshal involved??
“Sponsored by Badger Fire Extinguishers”
What I find hilarious about this whole Trevor Jacob situation is even Microsoft Flight Simulator "Pilots" are calling Trevor out on his inaccuracies. I saw a post elsewhere on another video that "of all of the people he chooses to try to B.S. it's the aviation community" He sure did pick the wrong crowd to try that with didn't he?
He would have had much more success if he'd come up with a scheme to trick those who watch TV news.
Well he won lot of attention. It's bad attention but ha became kind of viral and that's money maker nowadays... So maybe he is stupid like a fox?
The wrong crowd he picked was the NTSB. Those guys are NOT stupid, and several aspects of that stunt is a slam dunk without even looking at the plane.
@@boobrowsky Yeah, if it's worth his pilot's license, and maybe a very large fine and/or some jail time for reckless endangerment, and probably a whole slew of FAA regs.
@@MrJdsenior Don't forget if he tried to claim insurance on that plane, probably additional fines and jail time for that. He isn't a bigtime youtuber so I double he planned to crash a plane and expect the revenue from ads and ridge wallet to cover the cost.
Super cool how the aviation community has come together to explain and share more insight on this while also teaching proper flight etiquette. I think I really want to get into it now
Unfortunately Trevor is not alone, and the flying community generally does not report asshole pilots, it's a good'ol boys club, most crashes by far are small planes and they are mostly caused by guys flying by testosterone instead of training, rules and intelligence and over the past few years small plane crashes have increased big time. Most of these people fly under the radar, they are not under FAA towers, no one is policing them and just like with cars when you let jerks do what they want they will and they will not follow rules and they will crash their cars and their planes.
Full send! Join us, we have cookies. Mostly because we can’t afford anything else after paying the avgas bill
You should fly with a parachute. I saw this guy who just saved himself
What i find amusing is that Trevor seems to have not anticipated this level of scrutiny.
I'm just a paraglider pilot, but just watching you having so much fun in this video reminds me how blessed we are to be able to get into the air.
I typically fly with a spare engine as well as a parachute. I find that if I'm flying at 10,000' and my engine turns off, as long as I skip my restart checklist I can typically replace the engine. If that fails, then AND ONLY THEN I jump and ditch the plane.
That's just what makes me a better safer pilot than the rest of you.
Truly a piloting God.
But you still gotta drop the old engine on to potential people hahhaha
@@thinkersanonymous9106 you think I have enough time to strap a parachute to the failed engine too? Jeez seems unrealistic.
It's your realistic thinking that makes ya such a safe pilot!
You've got to ask clarance for clearance to jump out with Capt Over and get a vector from Victor to land, ain't that right Clarence, huh
Is that a fire extinguisher in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me
one of the good things to come out of the Trevor situation is my sudden fascination with planes and aviation accounts. Had a pretty bad fear of flying my whole life but the aviation community on youtube gave me a new respect and confidence in planes
If you feel up to it I recommend you find a local instructor and go for a discovery flight.
LETS GOOOO!!!!
Mentour Pilot and 74Gear! Fantastic channels that just want to spread the love of aviation and inform people of how everything works in major aviation. Really calmed a lot of my fears of flying.
Go to your local CFI and do a discovery flight.
That’s so rad. Aviation is incredible and aviationCZcamsrs served that same purpose for me a few years ago! When you begin to understand something your fear turns to respect.
Flying close to the ground, following that path has to be one of the coolest things to ever do. That is my wish to do that one day.
I would suggest though that the pilot would not be distracted making a video and talking into a camera while flying very close to the ground....
@@clinteranovic8075 it’s no different than changing a radio station while driving you car, or speaking to a copilot.
I’d say you’d be great fun to fly with😂😂
I like drivers who keep their eyes on the road ...maybe it's just me..
@@clinteranovic8075 I don’t feel it’s just you at all, but most of us have the capability to do this stuff through muscle memory, it’s like texting on your phone, I can write a text without looking at the phone, I’m not saying I text while driving, but I’m struggling to see where he is doing wrong in this flight, he looks like he is in perfect control,and is totally tuned into what he is doing. That’s all i have to say on the matter.
On engine failure, always remember to flip your flaps, trim your trailing edges and thrust your throttle
What?
Whenever i take to the skies i generally like to bring a backup plane with my plane. I have fire extinguishers and parachutes like anyone else but i cant tell you how useful it is when a wing comes off to just be able to climb out and up to the backup aircraft. I can carry twice the fuel as well since i have 2 fuel tanks.
you need to carry lots of CA glue to fix the broken wing,,, oh, quick set CA, hehheh
That's right, I always bring my map with a scale of 1:1 even though it is very hard to fold.
your doing it right!
Me too. But i can’t afford a plane because the airplane carrier for safety is too expensive
I just carry duct tape. Fixes everything, could even make a parachute in a "slowly controlled crash" situation!🤣
The camera that Trevor had mounted behind him in the cockpit is the same one he jumps out with on the selfie stick. It disappears from view before he bails out and people have stills from the original video that prove its the same camera. He put it on the selfie stick to have it ready before the "engine out".
Yep exactly :) Made a short screenshot vid on that one. czcams.com/video/vgjedClrt9I/video.html
Howabout the camera that was in front if him. He left that camera in the cabin but we see no footage just before and after he exits the plane.
Like anyone needs any more 'proof' that he staged the whole thing. The bad acting and fact that there were 5 cameras was more than enough.
@@fourbyfourblazer2 Once the engine quit he was operating the yoke with that rear camera in his hands, the sequence where we mostly see his jacket. I guess that's what the front camera would show. I'm wondering if he didn't want to use that footage, since it would be very obvious that the rear camera wasn't in it''s place anymore.
I'm sure the first half of that footage looking at the cockpit is gone by now.
Dude, your bit about how social media will keep leading to stunts like this was spot on. 100% agree on the effect social media has on some folks is damaging. And this is the perfect example of how it affects the true talent on this platform
Genuinely gave me a smile when you did a nice land at your own driveway, said hey to your other half and happily took off again! Really enjoying your genuine & authentic content - I definitely want to get into flying because of it!
Guys like that puts every aviator under a microscope when a real accident happens. Thanks Trent for what you do for the community. Your Rock!
Yep - always one jackass that ruins it for everyone. Watched this exact thing happen up here in MA with dirt bikes and ATV's. Was a handful of guys doing dumb crap for years, the sport exploded in the late 80's into the 90's, and today the sport is pretty much done for up here. Nowhere to ride without trailering hours away. Every time I took my ATV out, the cops would show up somewhere along my route. Sold the ATV and bought a paramotor. Now I know to stay away from houses to avoid the same thing happening to this sport.
It’s getting a lot worse for off-road parks now that durhamtown in Georgia got sued out of existence. Tons of parks have now closed to attempt to renegotiate insurance policies and re-write their wavers.
In a dystopian covid world, that kind of crap can be leveraged to impose more limitations on personal freedoms. I wonder if he was paid by a 3 letter organization?
I'm afraid that the only pilot who right now doesn't enjoy being put under Trent's microscope is Trevor Jacobs The Airplane-Crashing Asshole.
Trevor's "Crash for Cash" should cost him his PL and award him some quality behind the walls time.
Trevor does not have a PL ( pilot's License ) he has a Pilots Certificate! and I hope he loses that!
@@TheFalconJetDriver "License" and "certificate" are used interchangeably on the FAA Become a Pilot website. I agree with you that certificate is the correct nomenclature.
Americans always so anxious to put everyone in jail...
@@jonathanpoppe7037 The world at large is
@@jonathanpoppe7037 What is your solution for reducing crime?
All you other streamers owe Trevor a thank you. All this content he has imagined for you! I e yet to dignify him with viewing his video myself. Thanks for covering it.
Can't wait to see a Club-fed video!
Same... I refused to give him even one view, lol.
To my surprise, I have become interested in aviation recently. This channel provides a lot of good content! Keep it going!
I love the aviation community. NO BS! When someone does something questionable, you guys all have the experience and knowledge to smell the BS and call them out!
not everyone, I fly paragliders and ultralights and couldnt give a shit what other people do with their lives
@@nickrockz97 C'mon man, as a professed pilot, you SHOULD care. If it weren't for regulations, pilot's diligence, reports, and info sharing, the chance of incidents would be alot higher. If you're flying anything, that SHOULD matter to you. ✌
@@nickrockz97 lol typical. A lot of you guys seem to take pride in not giving a shit. Just like that paraglider who recently ate a turboprop for breakfast. In very much contrast, actual licensed pilots tend to take things very seriously.
Note: I'm neither. Just an interested observer and occasional sim jockey.
@@nickrockz97 you’re so cool…..
@@nickrockz97 damn Karens. You fly to escape them.
found the exact location of when his "engine out" happened. there is a large field just east of the spot. tried it in flight sim... was able to circle the spot a few times before setting it down.
where?
A youtuber called scooby1691 found the area and actually flew the plane there and then to an airport from a similar altitude
Mind sharing coordinates?
@@avimakkar I have tried replying to this with coordinates not sure if Trent is deleting or YT is flagging them. :( I have them listed in description on my video titled "are those fire extinguishers in your pants trevor jacob"
@@TritonTv69420 i tried commenting them as well and my comment basically disappeared instantly almost
Congratulations on beating that cold and your first flight of the year. Recently obtained my tailwheel endorsement in a SeaRey flying off a private air strip. Landing on unimproved surfaces still feels a bit hairy, but seeing footage of good bush flying is both eye-opening and encouraging. Hope this is a better year for everyone.
Hey Trent! I am a huge fan. I just wanted to say thank you for all of your videos - for entertainment but also especially for information and analysis. I am going to be taking my FAA Part 107 exam soon and your drone videos have been an insanely huge help and I can't imagine starting down this path without them. You are a major inspiration for me and I'm excited to see your channel continue to grow. Cheers!
Dude I love the casual commentary while flying low. One of the things I love about flying in Nevada. You can fly low for miles and always have a place to land
A BMW dealer in Madison Wisconsin crashed his plane into the only tree in a huge field while making an unscheduled landing. This was in the early 70's? He took a lot of shite for that. Pretty funny.
Agreed!! It shows how much confidence and skill he has in his environment. And when he really needed to focus (landing at GOAT), he got quiet. Much respect Trent!
I was thinking the same thing. It’s second nature to him like walking. Incredible flying skills.
Well, if he doesn’t have a place to land..... it is a foregone conclusion that he won’t be parachuting to safety.
I get nervous when he dips the wings about 15 feet above the ground. I feel like he knows where his tips are but still nervous!!!
Trevor chopped up his plane? The story gets better every day.
He didn't do his research too well. Didn't know he had to report it to aurthorities !!
Moving the plane is a federal offence, I believe; chopping it up as well .... whoa!!
@@ScarboroughTourist yeah hes just nuts lmao
@@ScarboroughTourist called destroying or tampering with evidence... Which is a felony...
Everyone of those landings, looked incredibley smooth. Nice flying.
I'm glad you did get sucked into talking about it! It's actually how I discovered your channel, and that's a freaking blessing! You rock, keep doing you!
"When a prang seems inevitable, endeavor to strike the
softest, cheapest object in the vicinity, as slowly and gently as
possible."
Advice given to RAF pilots during W.W.II.
I love that its phrased as a "prang", ie a minor and inconvenient fault or crash. Classic old-fashioned British understatement!
Applies to boats as well.
While this video is about the Trevor Jacob incident, want to thank you for modeling the FreedomFox for Microsoft Flight Simulator! Super cool!
Wait, did the OrbX one come out finally?!
Now if only they could model some steam gauges on kitfox 2.
@@EPiQ_cR I need to know as well haha been waiting forever
@@bradenwoods1111 he announces it at the end of the video. I hadn’t watched all the way yet haha.
It’s available directly through parallel 42/orbx right now. Looks like it launched late December, and already has had 2 updates.
Their blog posts state it will be in the MSFS shop as soon as it “stabilizes”. So whether that means sales stabilize or fewer tweaks needed, unsure.
They even have apparently added some Trent missions to Skypark, their mission-driven mod/addon.
Seems legit!
@@EPiQ_cR yup, and it's beautiful
I've only just come across this channel, and that flight is truly awesome! It's unlike anything I have ever seen, cruising around and touching down in multiple places, true freedom!
Wonderful flight around the hills - and great stops out there where it's WILDERNESS! Thanks for flying today!
I think he was trying to slow the airplane down to ensure it will stall shortly after he jump off to prevent it from gently fly away where he couldn't find it. An other interesting fact is he had two cameras under the left wing pointing to the exact same angle for redundancy, implying he was expecting some sort of damage to them.
And it's easier to open the door and jump out if the airplane is slower.
I lost count of the number of red flags I saw in that video, but he had a fuel shut off switch dangling less than a foot from his right shoulder and I don't think we need anything more than that to know what was going on.
@@redfox435cat So you don't think that's a red flag for a video that is being marketed as an accidental crash ...
@@MrMilarepa108 100% incorrect
@@manlystyleunder50 No sir, you are 100% incorrect, and HE is right. It IS easier to open the door at a slower speed. If you'd ever flown GA, LSA, or Experimental, you'd know that. How can you not understand this simple physics law? Could you open your car door easier at 25 mph, or 85 mph? Dude?!?
Glider pilots also wear emergency chutes pretty regularly. We're required when in competition due to the risk of a mid-air. Its easier to keep in the airplane and ends up just being a seat cushion that you pack whenever required.
I cant reach the stick and radio w/o my chute
or in the case of some aircraft a whole plane parachute, it's actually a really nice safety feature and I know of three pilots who are alive today because of one.
Just purchased the //42 pack the other day, loving it! Thanks for your collab on it!
Trent thanks SO MUCH for the wonderful msfs recreation of your plane!
I always fly with a parachute.
I am a glider pilot, engine outs are not that much of a concern.
Also seats in gliders are actually made for wearing them.
hahahahaha Real pilots fly gliders!
I remember putting on a parachute when having a trial flight in a glider... I was considering just how much had to go wrong before I was going to realise jump out of it was the best option!
I also am a glider pilot! If we crash every time a rope brakes or an engine quite ,all the gliders would have been gone years ago. Trevor Smart enough , lollollollol I don't think so ! Old habit of mine, looking for a place to land at all times when airborne . For instance I flew out to Catalina island staying high enough to fly all the way back to long beach just in case . I circled over the airport and flew back " fog had formed " did not have time to get stuck on the island.
I paraglide, I always fly with a parachute, I also fly ultralights, again, always carry a bail out parachute, to each his own, idk why some people get so triggered about what others do with their own lives
@@nickrockz97 its more or less the lie trevor made when he said he always flys with a parachute and none of his previous videos is there a parachute present.
Trent, I appreciate you always maintaining authenticity in all your videos. Not only am I interested in the aviation content you provide but I appreciate the honesty. Thanks for what you do!👍
It’s really nice just seeing you enjoy flying. Thanks for the video!
I absolutely love the content you produce!
If you're Trevor, its job done. We all know him now, even if he loses he wins. He could have started a wildfire or killed someone though, he needs to fess up and take the punishment like a man, not a coward who shreds evidence.
You mean even if he beats the charges he still loses. I'm guessing Trevor is in hiding and probably very depressed by all the unwanted negative publicity. It would be in his best interest to confess and ask for forgiveness but I believe he will not do that until after he is officially charged or somehow exonerated by slipping the FAA a handful of cash. It will be interesting to see how federal authorities handle the situation.
@@fourbyfourblazer2 I know its annoying, I want to see the right thing happen but his name is out there, he did what he set out to do. I can totally see a scenario where he pays a fine, loses his license for a bit and apologizes then moves on with more subs and views than ever, people like a fall down/ recovery story, its human nature. I will say with everything I know about the FAA and NTSB which isn't much, I don't think they'll take bribes, unless you mean a fine. They're pretty good from everything I've heard.
@@fourbyfourblazer2 he isn't going to be let go quietly by the FAA, with everything compiled as well as destroying evidence... He will be enjoying his future cell mate for a while
@@raymarshall6721 I know a guy that bought a house under a federal loan circumstance changed (marriage job) he let family live in the house after as he moved in with his new wife in her house closer to both jobs. Feds had 7 FBI agents investigating him ended up pleading to falsified federal documents a misdemeanor equivalent.Point is that was honestly a mistake with unknown possible circumstances. Trevor is definitely going to be in court. Lying on federal documents, lying to investigators, evidence tampering feds will probably throw in some conspiracy charges or fraud and probably 10 other charges unknown to the common person.
We all know who Jussie Smollet is too.
In Europe it is now the law that we wear parachutes in Gliders... the reason is gliders usually fly in large unorganized groups and we are high risk for mid-airs
Very interesting! I must consider this for a moment. Is it a Euro thing? The greatest risk in soaring would seem to preclude the practicality of a parachute.
I'm thinking ridge soaring, you're too close to mother earth for a parachute to help.
I'm thinking of a failed tow line. Same issue.
I'm thinking of landing, most particularly an off-field emergency.
Help this old fireman out. I'm just trying to understand the logic here. Is the possibility of airframe failure the key? I understand the risks, I am puzzled by the mandate.
Have there really been that many incidents of collision, say in thermalling, that it makes sense?
I love soaring, my father introduced me to it as a lad in the 1970s. My brother loves it as well, we used to ride out to Hemet years ago for soaring.
@@robertborchert932 I Canada we wore parachutes sometimes but in Europe all the time.
yes on the ridge you're too low, you need 1000' to bail.
I have had rope breaks and I have landed out on X-country many times, both situations are NOT bail out situations, we mainly wear them because we at always at risk of a mid-air collision.
I considered bailling out of my glider once, I landed out at an airport and phoned my tow pilot to come and pick me up, he was a baffoon who arrived with a passenger who was also an accident prone idiot, it was dusk and they got lost on the 50km trip home because they went flying formation with some random guy we found... I was considering bailing because it got to night before they found the field and I could barely see. Those two idiots I will never deal with again!
Yes that parachutes are 99% because of the risk of mid-air collision, especially when we fly in competitions and yes there have been a lot of mid-air collisions in gliders bother glider on glider and glider getting ran down.
I would say they are 1% for aerobatics.
They are 0% to avoid landing out!
I love soaring too!
Great commentary on that TJ escapade/hi jinx. Love seeing the countryside you fly around in during winter.
Yes! I have flyed your Freedom Fox Parallel 42 in MFS2020, and it is really great! I like to do the Arkanstol challenge. But I succeeded with outside view only. I have to practice to do it with cockpit view!
Thank you very much to have work on your plane model, so we can fly you path, join you and be your wingman!!
It was very nice of you also to have allowed us to use your house airstrip !
Thanks Trent. Love the Freedom Fox from Par42. Already enjoying your typical flight experiences.
The model in msfs2020 is awsome, love the work you guys did!
I love watching you fly your plane while listening to your monolog. Much nicer than just a static background shot, like most youtubers have.
Great piece Trent, thanks.
Nice to see you flying again.
And have to say Thank You!
Thank you for the Freedom Fox for FS-2020. It became my favourite plane, next to the PC-6 Porter from MilViz.
It is such a fun to fly, currently redoing all the Bushtrips with the Freedom Fox.
And thanks for your thoughts about the Trevor Jacob stupidity.
Trent Palmer , that low level flying is amazing keep up the good content !
Trent you are awesome! The Trevor thing introduced me to your channel and I really enjoy it!
Your videos are next level. I live vicariously through your flights. So free. Airline flying feels so regimented in comparison - which explains why many of my airline pilot friends have all bought small planes to scoot around in. Great talk on the Trevor issue, what a waste of a nice old plane.
Hi Trent
I’m from South Africa and I will hopefully be coming to my first ever oshkosh this year. Super stoked if I will be able to make it! I hope to see you there
I am happy that so many AviaTubers have covered this - means that I don't have to watch his channel and give him a view.
Ps. - As I rebuild my plane I'm rethinking the idea of strapping fire extinguishers to my legs, probably best to bolt it to the floor between the seats.
Love this channel, keep up the great work! Came across it as a recommended feed from YT as a flight simmer. I can attest that Parallel 42's rendition of the Freedom Fox is awesome 👍🏻. Super fun.
Lol. This was a satirical statement. And you liked it
What a Beautiful Freedom fox Plane incredible visual our from the cockpit
congrats getting your plane in msfs, thats freakin awesome. i actually JUST jumped back into it yesterday and in vr for the first time. its so much fun compared to 2d. i still havent tried one of the bush planes, i might just do that today
As always, love the content and filmography. I really appreciated your thoughts on this.
If I got nothing else out of this video, I at least really enjoyed the tour of some of the spots I've seen on previous videos.
Great video content as usual, Trent!
Love flying the #freedomfox on MSFS2020. Its a great plane! Thank you for putting your time into it.
I always look forward to your videos as a wonderful brain break. The scenery and audio choice are great.
You should fly to the location and do a deadstick landing from the same elevation at your proposed landing site.
Scooby1961 did this already at engine idle, but close enough. Made it to a nearby airfield without an issue.

It’s a federally protected condor preserve, you can’t technically land unless it’s an emergency.
@@Finallybianca well dang it!
@@merc1150 yeah but also means if FAA/NTSB decide it wasn’t an actual emergency he may have federal charges for endangering a protected species

Hello from Minnesota! Love the straight forward look at what he did. Agree 💯
thank you for sharing your insights, and the way you treat the subject with dignity & respect, not picking on the individual, but being mindful of airmanship & flight safety. cheers!
I love the part where your low and just following the roads. Looks like fun, glad to see you found the time to get out and enjoy flying
Forget Trevor Jacobs, I was just fascinated with your entire flight journey.. Super cool.
Bro, such a nice entertaining video. Just working with headphones on a low voltage contract in Florida listening to the story and the convo. Stopping every now and then to see the sites as you land. Looking forward to this Friday when I take off and fly over the beautiful Florida landscape in my Archer.
Felt like I was chatting with one of my buddies while flying. Love it man. Keep it up.
You really are living the dream Trent. I sort of live vicariously through you, as a 60 year old cancer man. Keep the blue side up!
Wait so flying around with a Parachute on and fire extinguishers strapped to your legs is not normal
😂🤣😂
Flying? I do that everytime I go to walmart. Never know when you need them.
Unrelated ... but watch your fuel line at 14:22 - big air bubble passing through! Was heading towards the tank, so that's good, but where did it come from?
Yeah, many, many red flags on Trevor's vid. Those additional things you found out add even more red flags. I never noticed the extinguishers!! That's kinda big, IMO. That right there tells me he planned this, thinking he'd start a forest fire when the plane crashed. YIKES! Anyway, I REALLY enjoyed this flight!! Man, that looks so fun, flying those trails like you're riding a quad or dirt bike at 100 MPH! I MUST do that some day, lol! Great stuff as always, Trent!
Great going 👏 buddy, truly good details from you..Many Thanks
Lovely looking plane you have! Nice explanaition on the Trevor video, cleared up some stuff for me!
Ooh that intro was savage!
I thought it was already established by another youtuber it was an NTSB helicopter that was at the crash site for around 3 hours, maybe they were gathering evidence and recovering the plane for examination?
In that case it will still be all fairly intact somewhere in a nearby hangar most likely?
Re the rear cockpit cam looking forward, look carefully it's on a stick, watch his hands as he exits, the same stick and gopro is in his hand, he took that rear cam out with him when he bailed.
I thought the heli that was spotted was owned buy a hire company???
I was literally flying in flight sim while watching this video thinking, 'wouldn't it be cool if the kitfox was in fs2020'... My mind is blown, buying that right now!
I love the places where you fly! , nice video 👏👏
Trent...Thanks so much for being a standup guy....totally agree with your take on this....
The way you landed while talking makes me think you'd make an excellent instructor haha. Have you ever considered Young Eagles flying? Not instruction but it would be good for a kid looking to get into aviation!
Also edit: I always have a massive grin on my face when I see you just having fun. Keep up the great flying, great story telling, and stay safe.
Right, I definitely stop talking. Don’t believe anything I said would make sense if I tried.
His plane had wings and was structurally able to fly when the engine stopped. He went from power to glider. He should have tried to land it. I think Trevor gives GA a bad name!
@@markmiranda3364 Heard different estimates, but everyone agrees that he should have had enough glide distance to land at the spots you could see during his descend on 'chute. He obviously didn't really think this fully through, or we wouldn't have seen landing spots in his footage.
Excellent as usual!!!
Yeah!!! Flying!!!
Miss this. Also, great job with the Trevor stuff.
I absolutely guarantee the reason why he had those fire extinguishers is to put out the fire that he could have started from crashing that plane on purpose
A.) FLIGHT SIM ???? YES !!!! When will it be available thru the Microsoft store?
B.) Landing at home!!! SUCH A DREAM! That is in the 5 year plan!
It's been out over a year my dude
@@bobxxxl fake news. It was released just a few weeks ago. Don't get confused with the unlicensed..."kitfox" in the store. See link in the description.
I always learn something from your videos, thanks Trent.
Great talk! Love the flying along as the GoPro- Pilot low and slow🤙🏻🤠
Let’s fly the freedom fox on flight simulator together
I know another video I was watching brought up a really good point. When he was pulling and yanking on the yolk, He was probably trying to slow the plane down enough to keep the prop from wind-milling. That plane had no starter, and was hand-start, so he probably didn't want the engine to try to start again. That would otherwise have destroyed his engine out appearance. Just a thought.
Yoke, my friend. Yolks are something chickens make...
@@CS_247 lol, yes I know how to spell yoke. Autocorrect evidently doesn’t!
@@scoross3215 maybe that's how he got egg on his face!
Quality video! Enjoyed everything!
I love your videos you give a lot of inspiration when it come to flying and I started seriously considering doing a PL. I am from Poland and I wish to meet you when I come to the US some next time. All the best to you and please know that you are doing a great job by sharing your passion and inspiring others.
I saw something a couple of weeks ago that said Jacob's lawyer had the flight tracks removed from Flightaware, FR24, etc. Not substantiated, as far as I know, but...
Dude, you're living my actual dream with what you do and how you fly, and how you live. :)
Quick question about your MSFS Freedom Fox... Is there a way to get that onto the Xbox version?
+1 to this pleeeeaaase! :D would buy it in a second if it was available on the xbox.
I remember the last time you went to OshKosh, Trent. I think it was Hal Stockman that had an engine out and he came over the radio and said, "Well, my engine just quit." No drama, nothing. He just landed the plane, changed the engine and caught up with you guys. Great video!
Fun and educational, great views, beautiful plane, great personality..🙏thank you for sharing your video
Favorite place to land is your house… I get that man I get it!!!

You are one of the few people who truly know the feeling!
You know you are a damn good pilot when you can talk passionately while flying 40 feet off the ground!
Yep. Its good to see ! 😎👍💥
Literally nobody brings along a skydiving rig unless they're planning on doing some skydiving. The fact that he manages to capture everything on video except for the actual engine failure and then had the wreck secretly choppered out is just the icing on the cake.
Can I say that I am in love with your plane! That Kitfox looks so much fun to fly!
The amount of planning this dude had to go through to pull the stunt of is insane, what’s even more insane is that throughout the entire process, it never occurred to him this is probably a horrible idea?
The opposite. He likely got more and more amped. Idiots are idiots.
@@smokejaguarsix7757 yep, FAA is gonna rain hell on this dude.
A High Amount of Planning, with absolutely Zero Amount of Thinking involved. That's impressive in a truly disturbing sort of way.
Not that I agree with what he did, but you lot are awfully critical of someone who basically pulled his plan off perfectly. Plan, execution, make the internet blow up and anger thousands of aviation Karens. I’d say he’s won this round.
@@defyent I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m sure he did this entirely for the fact it would go viral. He obviously was seeking fame. It just blows my mind that it never occurred to him that, “Maybe this isn’t a good idea after all.”
I love the Kitfox for FS2020. Just one of the best Addons for its price.
Just purchased it!
There is another kitfox that is very buggy and has been nearly unusable for the past 5 months or so it cost like 10 dollars and I would recommend not buying it. The one Trent has should be around 30 dollars US
@@dylanmcintire7677 Oh did Trent's finally release? I remember seeing that back near launch.
@@dylanmcintire7677 it's already out! Link in the description. 🤘
@@BluntSmokeTrauma yep, link in the description! 🤘
Nice love your videos keep posting!
You commentary about this stunt is spot on! I look forward to your vids in 2022, Cheers!
I saw another video earlier that made a very good observation that I had missed. At the point of the video where Trevor is pumping the yoke back-and-forth, most of us thought he was trying to stop the prop from spinning, but it’s far more likely and if you look real close it seems quite apparent, that he actually had the airplane trimmed forward so that it would dive as soon as he let go of the yoke. If you re-watch his video closely you can see that’s exactly what is going on. He’s kind of fighting to keep it level but as soon as he relieves back pressure on the yoke the nose pushes over fairly aggressively, and in fact the aircraft does dive aggressively as soon as he exits the cockpit. This does make sense if you don’t want the airplane to go too far after you exit. Can’t very well get those GoPro‘s back if the airplane keeps flying for another 6 miles outside of your potential landing range as a sky jumper.
Can you imagine the 'oh shit' moment if it had carried on straight and level after he bailed out?
Thank you for sharing your opinions on this incident! I totally agree. Also I don’t think Ridge will pick him back up after this dumbass stunt.
Hi Trent:
A Belated Happy New Year!
I'm a subscriber of your channel because you mix so many things that I am directly interested and I really appreciate every aspect of what you have built, your many solid accomplishments - from your aircraft to your and design, bold choice of the building process, source materials and operational functionality of your home, strip, hanger and workshop in your beautiful lot with a gorgeous 360-degree view.
I watched your first video analysis of Jacob's incident and was in fairly 100% agreement as I recall. I actually think you had taken it easy on Jacob on that first video; however, even though - like you and most of the other aviation content providers - I am not an attorney, but after watching today's second video to follow up on Jacob's behavior and feel it necessary to caution you in only one legal area: Defamation.
You said a couple of things that made me cringe because you were speculating - guessing about those details SHOULD have been prefaced with "In my personal opinion", these factors don't add up and altogether present the appearance of a stunt conceived to get more views on Jacob's YT channel, and if insurance is involved, would likely be scrutinized heavily because it looks contrived and intentional - and appearing to be a potential case of insurance fraud.
Making it clear these are simply speculations based on limited and heavily edited information by Jacob rather than statements of fact will keep you out of trouble, my brother.

OH Trent,...Thank you for suggesting "Just Plane Silly" That was hilarious. I have so much respect for your commentary on topics. Thank you.
