    "Life is too short to eat dessert last" - Trent Palmer
    Reminds me of one of my favorite stories this summer. I was sitting in a diner in rural Wisconsin after a flight and an old farmer came in. He's a regular and told the waitress he wanted a burger as he walked to his table. She responded, "We have cherry pie today Paul". "Well", he replied, "I suppose you better bring me that first."

      Don't stop flying, we had an older member in our GYRO community that flew but never solo, the deal was when he passed, the pilot he flew with got the aircraft. I saw him pass on the field during one of our big fly in's from a massive coronary... it was a very emotional moment but he lived his passion right to the end and did so safely...

      My plan is to live and thrive well beyond my 70s. Given that eating whole plant foods and regular exercise is backed by solid science, I'm a good bet to get there.

      Hi Chester, I posted this in response to the video but thought I'd repeat it here just for you in case you never come back here. I hope you still have time to read this.
      Given the statements regarding what life is all about, the question immediately springs to mind:
      *_"What will it profit a man if he should gain the whole world yet lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? - Mark _**_8:36_**_-37"_*
      We are not here to live our best life now. We are here to make sure that we are in the kingdom of God that is to come and make all our effort to help as many get in there as we can.
      What is in this life is evil, disease, pain, suffering and death - and *_it is appointed unto man once to die then face the judgement - Hebrews _**_9:27_**_._*
      How will you fare, dear reader, when your time is up and you have to face the ONE who created you to give account of your actions here on earth?
      Spare 12 precious minutes out of your very busy schedule to watch this very endearing video to find the answer to that question. Those who bother to look at it will most probably find life. Those who reject it might never have another chance before it's too late: th-cam.com/video/VGTxI4yvNjI/w-d-xo.html
      OK, so I hear all kinds of objections to God, like science has taken care of it and we don't have to believe that nonsense anymore. Perhaps your information is wrong and totally misleading so it would be good to get to grips with facts that totally makes nonsense of the current big bang, abiogenesis and evolutionary paradigm. You can find it here: www.answersingenesis.org, www.creation.com, www.icr.org. Go ahead, put it to the test and ask any question you might have regarding our origins in their search field and see what comes up. I dare anyone, even the most skeptical to give it a whirl, even just once!

    Hey Trent. I'm working on getting my pilot license and hoping that one day I can make it out your way from Minnesota to show me a little thing or two about true bush flying. You're the main reason I took the leap to start working towards getting my private pilots license after having an incredibly irrational fear of flying basically since I was 6 years old and flew on a plane for the first time. Love the videos and the wise words and motivation you put in all your videos. The places you fly to look like the way to live life to the fullest.

      Poots MuhGoots I too had a fear of stalls and spins. On my checkride I was stupid enough to go up in 22kts steady, 29 gusts. (noted in my log book) I just wanted it over with. On the minimum controllable airspeed demo, I was perpendicular to the wind and when the stall occurred, I almost did a wing over from a gust of wind and being uncoordinated, trying to hold heading and altitude. That scared the sh*t out of me, but I did as I was taught, and recovered. Next he had me do a couple 360’s hanging by the prop at minimum speed and in both directions. In those winds, it was challenging, but I did them. I passed the checkride. Next month after that I was in a Decathalon getting spins out of my system. As posted, it is not as bad as it seems. Trying to fly the plane with your eyes closed as you describe what you think the plane is doing is also an eye opener. (ugh, bad pun. 🙀) Also, that feeling of passing the checkride is one we cannot describe. You just have to experience it for yourself. Don’t give up. Use the pilot forums for advice. I sure did.

    There's nothing more true than what you've said. Working is good, It keeps things rolling but there's no point in working endlessly and having no time to relax and think about what has been accomplished. No matter what you're passion is, You have to make time for it. Everything from throwing yourself off the side of a slope to sitting a reading a book. If you enjoy it, Make time for it. Sometimes things can be thrown in the way of you enjoying yourself but there will be many other opportunities. Keep those wings in the sky man, I love just sitting back watching your content.

    Well done Trent (as always). This one had a message that really hit home with me. I'm a PPL but other than staying "current" haven't flown in years but now have the fever more than ever. To add to that I'm loosely contemplating making a significant change in my career and your "Motivations" are really coming at a very good time. THANK YOU and keep on doing you!!

    Yeah... there's no means to "get out there' when you work 50-60hrs a week and only pull in 25k a year. Some of us are doing good to eat, have a home, and a functioning car. I get your sentiment, but there's a lot of people where fear isn't the holdback.

    I have been wanting to get my PPL for a couple years now. It was a dream of mine that waxed and waned in my mind. Watching other aviation channels I was encouraged by the trips and cool flights, but then overwhelmed by the seemingly endless planning and paperwork. It began to feel not worth the couples of hours every few weeks that I would be able to actually get out.
    Then I found your channel, and all the simple joy of bush planes. As someone who loves hiking and offroading, THIS is the kind of flying that speaks to the deepest parts of me. Where its not about going from A to B but just going somewhere. It's about the journey and what we find along the way. This video was the final spark I needed. I am starting my training soon and hopefully finding my way into a Kitfox (I may even build my own). Thank you so much for showing people, in my opinion, the best parts of GA.

    Since I was 4 years old and was taken up by a man in his Cessna and he allowed me to put my tiny hands on the yoke in front of me, I remember I couldn't see anything but the instrument panel and this steering mechanism in front of me, I looked at him and then I looked at the yoke and put my hands on it. It was at that moment the desire for flight had been seared onto my heart. Now at 46 I am getting closer and closer to my own private pilot's license and these videos only fuel that desire even more.

    Hey Trent, you and the Flying Cowboys have awakened my life long desire of flight. I grew up with planes and at the airport with my dad when I was a kid. He had planes and I always loved being with him in the air. Got my pilots license when I was 30 and then I let life get in the way and put my love of flying away in a box on the back shelf in the closet. This past month I started my new quest to get back to what I really love, Flying.
    At 55 I feel like a kid again when I go to the airport for my flight training to get back into the air. I have to say your right about eating dessert last, it should be first as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for showing all the fun you guys have with your planes.
