A friend of mine is a helicopter pilot, and back in the 1980s he was working a job north of Denver. He had a turbine-powered helicopter that was on wheels. Rather than fly 50 miles back to the nearest airport, it would just fly down the hill and land at the local truck stop, shut down the helicopter, and push it over to the pumps. It ran fine on diesel fuel.
lol
That makes me think of the Larry Hagman film, Deadly Encounter, where he drops into a gas station in his turbine helicopter and tells the guy to put in x gallons of gas and top it off with diesel. I always wondered how accurate that was.
@@colins2 Actually, the flight manuals on most turbine helicopters specify that diesel 2 is an authorized fuel.
@@helibob2367 Ah, I didn't know that, thanks.
Used to do that with my JetRanger in South Africa. Either diesel, or illuminating paraffin, which was easily available in the 80's.
The injector nozzle on the Allison 250-C20B had to be decoked every 5 hours as a precaution. That involved leaving it in a caustic solution overnight. We never did notice any carbon accretion on the nozzle, no matter what fuel we ran! Good times 😊
Ryan, you are raising the bar on production quality. I appreciate the effort that takes and know that video work goes up by the square of production quality. You're killing it.
That's right,when flying between mountains you never go down the middle, you hug one side in case you need to get out and make a 180 turn.specially in high altitudes where you don't have enough power to climb.but in the canyon at that altitude thats not a problem
I'm enjoying your Kitfox videos, Ryan. So glad you were able to get your own plane!!
Some of my favorite strips: Ballarat, Panamint Springs, and Chicken Strip--named for a few pilots who were intimidated, and too chicken to land there. It has been widened, cleared, and marked much better than the last time I landed there. Too bad you missed the hot springs. Another day, another great video. All the best.
Back in July in Star Wars Canyon an F18 hit the wall and disintegrated near where photographers routinely take pics. Several of them were hurt. Great video Ryan.
I'm really enjoying these adventure videos. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! Keep 'em coming.
Hi Ryan. I am happy to see you always use your check list. You can never go wrong using it. Keep up the good work really enjoy your flights
Beautiful place and the low flying is amazing. Thanks!
What a blast flying through the canyons! 🙏
"... and don't wait for me, I'll catch up!" That is a good one.
Very interesting this trip! Thanks!!!
Just so much fun! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us!
Man that landing was butter! Nice work!
Good to see your progress, Ryan. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for watching
Always love to see what new adventures you are on and where in the world you might be next is always exciting!!! Thank you for the wonderful content please keep up the hard work
I have an RC version of the carbon cub and all I can think of is my little plane flying around😂 good job man!
And stay safe while flying
Fun trip to watch. All flying (awesome) but little site seeing at least none on the video (too bad since that is half the fun). Time constraints and the rule of what the group agrees to do and wants to take time to see. I get it. Now you know a lot of cool places and you can come back another time and stay longer perhaps. I always appreciate you and thanks for your efforts and your channel.
I see negative posts about risk taking - but it inspires me to get up and about, and do stuff and not fall into the trap of being a couch potato.
Not flying though as that is beyond me investment wise as I'm all wrapped up in recording and studio work. Love planes though since a wee kid, especially piston ones up to the late 40's - the nadir of mechanical technology.
We need this type of stuff especially after lockdown. Keep it up!!
Ryan, I just love this new series of videos! Your videography is awe inspiring! Blue skies!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video down the canyon. Great flying. Thank you.
Cam and mic configurations are very good. I enjoyed the mogas refuel pretext - very funny and playful for viewers.
To sit there and get a perfect moment to fly in a gulch with no worries how awesome is that
Love the background music.
I get sooo excited when you release these videos. Its like being there!
Glad you enjoy it!
Always fun to find a regular gas station you can land at, and nobody gets worked up over it!! thanks for the desert tour!
Love that Kitfox!!!
Merry Christmas from Minnesota!! Great episode!!
That's the beauty of Rotax!
Another excellent video. .
many thanks Ryan
Famous Star Wars Cyn...Great flight and video...Chicken Strip would be a terrific camp spot.
One word for this video Ryan, awesome!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks....
Great landning Ryan. Thats buuuuutttterrr. Keep the great content coming. :)
That’s how I had to fuel my champ in the 70’s. Gas station at drive to airport. Untie, taxi to gas station. Fuel up. Ran fine.
Good footage! Your landings are getting much better:)
Thanks a lot!
Great, Red 24! Don't get cocky!
Looks like fun, Ryan, I'd be with you but my Mooney just isn't suited for that kind of flying. Glad to hear you're returning to the mission field.
I have flown overseas, civilian and military, scared to death. However, I think I would go up with you. I'm the type that cries when boarding planes.
You can do it Kimberly. Overcome those fears! Most dangerous oart of a flight is the drive to airport. Especially with a competent pilot like MissionaryBushPilot
For warm up, I have a modification on my 912uls in a ch750. I go from cold to in temp on a 35f day in about 5 min. It's basically a thermostat for your oil but I don't have the name of it in front of me.
When I was a kid, I thought it was so cool to see planes land in the street and pull in for fuel out in SE Oregon. Fields and Frenchglenn. I’m sure they still do it today.
Awesome video once again Ryan, what a playground👌I can imagine the looks if you pulled into my local filling station for fuel🤣
Reminds me of one of your videos where you flew down a valley to jaquinot bay possibly on a return flight from Leli. I think it was there, I had to google map it. Love the videos and can see why you wanted a kitfox, it must be like jumping on the trailbike after a weeks work in the company plane bus or car.
Yup, it does remind me of that incredible valley in PNG. And yes, the Kodiak is like riding a heavy KTM 1290, And the Kitfox is like a 125 2 stroke dirt bike 😁
@@MissionaryBushPilot glad your having fun
Great video 👍👍 you have adapted to the kit fox very well.💯🤠
Awesome video Ryan!
Top . I love this video
Butter landing Ryan 👍
Beautiful area, the desert. Sure is a long way from PNG !!
kewl keep it coming, Merry Merry :)
Nice flying weather (((Ryan))) 👌
Looks like you are truly enjoying your Adventure Fox and I know it brings you alot of joy. You are also bringing joy and excitement to so many others here that are following you. Keep doing what you love. May God bless and keep all of you as you continue your adventures. As always prayers for your safe travels. I will be flying myself today to Texas. I'm not a good flyer so I could use a prayer too. 🙏 ❤️
safe flight
@@MissionaryBushPilot ty 😊 ❤️
@@MissionaryBushPilot thanks for the prayer. Arrived safely in Texas. ❤️
Great videos Ryan - I love all of yo content. The ads are a little over the top - albeit I did see your video where you explained why you need them. I get it. However - most You Tubers have adverts but they don't interrupt the flow of the flow of the videos by spending 5 minutes discussing why you might want a VPN ! Not what I tuned in for.
Fantastic stuff.
I as thinking you meant to say 170 as I though that was tailwheel vs nosewheel but I looked up the tail number and sure enough it is a 172. Great video. Sure wish I could afford a Kitfox as they look like neat little planes to fly. My Decathlon is fun to fly but nothing like being able to go low and slow and land almost wherever you want.
It was a converted 172 into a tailwheel. It was not a 170
We operate 2 euro foxes at the gliding club I'm at one being the 120hp, the other being the 140hp, they r amazing for towing gliders up
My O-200 says something like "if the engine responds normally to throttle input, it's warm enough" and that's almost immediately to any temperature. I give at least a 5 min warm up after either hanger nights or my electric cylinder head+oil pan heater. I have no oil cooler to tape off so I have to close off so e of the cowl opening. Half the opening is good down to about 0°F for full temperature, half closed off is a bit under kill for less than that but acceptable to about -15. Colder than that I'm not sure as I'd like to maintain some cooling at the base of the cylinders and not just close up the middle of the cowl out towards the edge
NICE !!!

Hi Ryan. Greetings from PNG 🇵🇬
So far those little fins are staying on - do you feel they really make a difference now?
The valley descent was amazing!
I feel a little more control at lower speeds, but not a lot
Really Kool
GREAT DAY AWSOME THANKS
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Ryan, just curious. From your experience & opinion, could the Kodiak 100 land/take off at that hot springs Chicken Strip safely? @@MissionaryBushPilot
Not sure if you can hear the high pitch noise in the cockpit audio. I'm guessing it's caused by the transponder? A high-pass filter might take care of it.
ay no flying with your phone man come on if the cops see that your in trouble😂
This reminds me of a certain REAL video where some guy jumped out of a CRASHING plan
dang! i missed out on the sim deal by one day!
Just love what you are doing Ryan. Flying through that canyon was terrific. Boy it is desolate out there. That place you stopped for lunch, what on earth do those people do out there for a living?……….Roger
I know right!?
...uh... sell food and fuel to passing bush pilots???
ryan, could you talk either in a separate video or a one off comment about the wind limitations with the kitfox. I would love to hear a detailed explanation. for example what wind aloft are a no go, what winds at the ground are show stoppers. etc. im very close to doing a kitfox build but dont know realistically what my wind limitations will be. for example, do you only fly on very calm days or what are you parameters that you look at when making a decision. thx
To be honest, I'm still learning that. I think that would be a pilot to pilot thing. What I might feel comfortable flying it would be different than another pilot. I prefer calm days though. It's too much work fighting wind
Ngl, was waiting for an F35 to flyby and rip ur wings off in starwars canyon !! Best case you'd both need new undies lol
I'd love to have a Super Cub and a metal detector! There's gold in thar Hills !💰
Thanks beautiful 💪👌👌
Great channel Love the Death Valley stuff
The song at the end of your video..one day soon,who is the artist
Thank you!
WOW! Thanks for sharing your videos. Congrats! Everyday better. BTW:
It's me, or you have a crack in your windshield? May be it's just a reflexion of something. I hope.
What's the probability of getting a windshield crack in bush flying (as result of landing in gravel unprepared fields, due to a little rock impacting windshield?).
🙃
I think its just a scratch. I didn't see one yesterday when I was cleaning it
Congrats on the sponsor.
Thanks. I'm not sure how people will react, but someone's gotta pay for the fuel...and I don't like to lol
@@MissionaryBushPilot Yeah, I get it. My son’s been wanting a sponsor for his channel for a couple months. He needs a couple thousand more subscribers. 😂
Could you install a cable operated flap on the oil cooler where you tried the cardboard?
Adjustable in flight!
Passed away
ryan go to new cuyama ca, 50 miles west of bakersfield cool little town place to eat and only 60 miles form the coast check it out
I owned a gas station on Highway 58 in the middle of nowhere, and had several planes land . We had a piper cub who would land when his home landing strip was fogged in , he would call his wife to call him back when it was clear.
Hey Ryan good to see you. Did you leave PNG already?? Awesome video bro!
On a break
2.5min on an add is excessive. if your contract says 60sec then keep it to that, never go above and beyond on a add when it comes to time.
Ryan, another good vlog you made. Wanted to ask which song track was it that you put in at the end of this vlog...it has the words "...one day...one day soon.." Kinda like that tune and would like to access the full length of it. Regards, Aaron
This is real bush pilot stuff!
Great video, but I’m curious… is that canyon one way or is it wider than it appears. I would be concerned about a moderately fast plane coming from the opposite direction around some of those curves. The combined speed could be well over 200 mph ( about 300 fps). Not saying I wouldn’t try it, just curious…
It's pretty tight to be flying both ways in that canyon
Ryan...you are no longer a rookie taildragger. You've got it mastered. When you land I can see you are straight down the runway. You will be amazed how much this will help you when you go back. Out of curiosity what is Vne on that beast?
140 mph is vne...not much 😂
@@MissionaryBushPilot Thats pretty darn good on a plane of that weight. You've started me looking for one.... My C180 is getting jealous.
What do you do if someone else is flying up the canyon in the opposite direction and on a collision course with you if you don't act quickly?
Love this trip. How much flight time do you get from a full tank?
5 hrs til it's dry
That logo is same as Stone Mountain 64.
I'd never seen the gas station for the airplane!
Was that just a small airstrip that lead right into town?
Yes, Paramint Springs
Is it not possible to make something like a cowling flap, that you can open / close from within the cabin? For the oil temp challenge, I mean..? I had something like that on a car I owned long time ago.. For operating in extreme low temperatures which we sometimes have here in Norway. Some kind of curtain in front of the radiator.. I dunno if that is possible on the Rotax, but it could be worth trying without spending too much money on it.. ?
I'm sure I could, just not worth all the time investment right now. But definitely in the future
likes here ty!
Why did I think this was about MSFS, judging by the thumbnail.. xD
Which fuel have you put in the Cessna? Automotive fuel? I am using automotive fuel according to Lycoming instruction SI 1070 AB
the high pitch tone is kind of annoying in the video. That said, superb video i wish i was a bush plot
Sucks when you're a private hire renting a rotax in the winter. Is a lot of $$ is sitting there idling waiting for the oil temps to get up
At idle, I bet I waste $1-2 of fuel. not enough to care about
Ryan,
In the last couple videos you call the Cessna a 172. Unless I am missing something the Cessna tail dragger is a 170? At least it was when I flew one years ago.
I think I remember him saying in the previous video that it was a taildragger conversion on the 172. It is the older straight tail 172 (no rear window - likely pre 1963) which normally came with 160Hp or less (even though he commented 180Hp in a post). The 170 had the rounded tail like the 140.
this was a 172 converted to a tail dragger
Thanks, for the replies, I knew I was missing something. Good point, I should have recognized from the tail something was amiss.
Got to let you know that driving an airplane on the road will get your airplane impounded... Had a Sherif tell a pilot trying to get gas at that gas station. ."Thank goodness it was not the CHP they will arrest you! "Beware "Don't drive on Ca. Roads ' or you will be SORRY... The nice part was the Sheriff let him go...
I didn't have to to get to this gas station.
How do you get the landing shots? Land, set up cameras then go land again? 👍
Yup
Ryan am just wondering if you sre ever going back to PNG AGAIN THOSE ARE SOME VERY INTERESTIN FLIGHT
This summer is the plan
When do you get the larger tail wheel?
Next week
How did you get the drone shots of your landings?
Had someone else fly it for me
Did you fly a Helio Courier at Kidron Ohio jars base?
