Thanks Ryan. I would not have responded to that anyway but in the event I was in bed - I'm retired with my wife to Thailand from the UK so completely different time zone. Assuming you are in West Virginia for example, we in Bangkok are 11 hours ahead of you.
TY Ryan, (i get these almost all the time) YT need to take action & come up with a proper fix. but they're too busy policing opinions to save ppl from being scammed
Years ago, and I mean many years ago, I was taking a break outside my shop (A&P/ IA) and watched a student practicing wheel landings with his CFI , when he nosed it over on its back. Neither were hurt, but that beautiful C-170, which I had just overhauled the engine, did the annual and painted the Aircraft was bent, not too bad, but devastating to us. The student owner, having spent thousands with me, was understandably upset. Making matters worse, there were student solos in the pattern and the airport stooges decided not to listen to myself and others on how to get the aircraft back on three wheels, wrapped a chain around the tail, down the aircraft centerline, and pulled it off the runway, twisting the tail right up under the cowling! Long story longer, I convinced the owner to sue the airport for taking a relatively inexpensive repair, into a write off. Got subpoenaed to court to testify. I took a model and used string to show how it should have been done. He won the case, and with insurance and case money, he was close to breaking even, but he was done flying, sad. I bought the 170 from the insurance company for next to nothing, and after setting up shop at another airport (management kicked me out, 😂) I rebuilt the 170, flew it a couple hundred hours, and sold it. I’m 75 now, and retired, but in my whole career, I never made more money from one single aircraft than that old Cessna 170. Sorry for the long post! And Mister Bush Pilot is great!
What an awesome teacher. He gave confidence where needed and didn't do anything to add stress to it. Fantastic job! As to your idea about changing the name, it makes sense. Missionary is limiting if you want to expand. In my humble opinion, go for it considering it makes sense.
It would be nice to hear a plug in every video for the mechanics at JAARS and MAF and other missions organisations who kept your airplane safe for you. They are barely making it and could never afford their own airplane.
Personally, I hope you don't change the name of the channel. You're a missionary pilot. You don't need to hide that or apologize for it. There will always be young kids who are interested in Missionary aviation who will (have) find you by searching "Missionary Pilot". In fact, that is how I found your channel. For me (and I assume others as well), your content is interesting not just because of the location or the type of flying, but for what you do and why you do it. Either way, I'll keep watching.
Great video. Looking forward to seeing more (and the new plane) in the future. Mr. Bush Pilot works for a new name. Did you by chance consider just dropping the "ary"... Mission: Bush Pilot would have a nice ring to it... maybe. 🙂 Anyway, all the best.
Ryan your authenticity and enthusiasm will keep your subscribers interested and engaged in this 'off year,' no matter what name you decide on for this channel. Thanks for all you do both in the missionary field as well as a video content professional.
When I was growing up it was called "furlough," so now it's "home assignment." You are a bush pilot, so the potential name change is truthful, and I understand your marketing logic. That said, you are a missionary. Personally , I'll watch either channel name. It'll be fun following you this year, and when the time comes you're back in PNG. What you've been doing there is important, even with "diminishing" pay. :)
I hear you on the "missionary" thing. The default connotation is "proselyting" and it really misses all of the service work that missionaries do (full disclosure: I was a missionary years ago for a different faith that I have since disavowed, so I understand the perspective). To me, "Mr. Bush Pilot" is acceptably bland and might make it easier to get financial backing, but I wonder if there's another option out there that might preserve the connection to your family's service and still offer some flexibility for your business interests (the switch panel, sim courses, and so forth). Anecdotally, the more successful pilot vlogs tend to have their channel names have a personal touch, so maybe BushPilotRyan might be more enticing to new viewers and sponsors (and it'd be a cinch to incorporate the BPR acronym into your logo). Just a thought. Good luck with the plane purchase!
As a pilot, I watch a lot of various channels. That said, what attracted me originally to this one was the handle use. Period. "Missionary" adds more to the flying than just someone making a salary. And that possibility is what attracted me to start watching. And I am glad I did. Your brand is all about what you do, both in and out of the aircraft. So, if that makes some folks shy away, I'm thinking they weren't good for you anyway. Will support you in either way, but my thought is to stay what you are.
Love the Super Cub. I never rode in one, but I did have a ride in a Clipper, owned by a guy on my paper route. The Clipper was a couple generations removed from the Cub / Super Cub, but still with very much of a 1940s feel. As for the name change -- none of my business. You do what you think you need to do. Those of us who know you, we already know who and what you are. When the name change comes, I'll still be a subscriber.
My Father was involved with MAF, I remember him spending time up in Papua..... he was a pilot and aviation safety expert and writer. I think I may have a collection of MAF's old magazine somewhere. I think he spent more time on taildraggers than conventional...Charlie Alpha Sierra was a wonderful C170 that he had use of, from DCA, to expedite his role as air safety investigator and writer of the "Crash comic" - The Aviation Safety Digest... I spent many happy hours as a child in that aircraft.
Your experience in the Super Cub was much easier than mine in a 1946 Aeronica 7AC Champ. You had the luxury of flaps. The 7AC Champ didn't have flaps & no electric - anything. You propped it to start it 🙂
No I would not change that name. It is very cool to see how many people I know that hear of you and then learn about being a missionary pilot like you. It has opened a lot of people up to this kind of thing and it is even sometimes just in conversation because they use your name.
It's really great to meet Doug, a missionary bush pilot master. I'm sure Doug could tell a lot of stories about early bush flying with the Cessna 185. Thank You Doug for your willingness to serve. Ryan, you are a natural flying a tail wheel aircraft. It seamed odd seeing you fly a 1950s Piper Super Cub with no digital technology. That Super Cub is a beautiful airplane for sure. It was great to see Ethnos 360 home base as well. Thanks Doug and Ryan! Really awesome to see two great Missionary Bush Pilots together.
Hey Ryan, it’s great to hear that you are thinking about the future and long term for your channel. Love your content, so looking forward to see many more videos to come. If that means changing the name, then you got to do it! Good luck with the new purchase, and raising sponsorship for your next 4 years.
Hey Ryan, The name change is perfectly fine with me. Do what is best for you and your family. Those of us who know you and have followed you know what kind of stand up guy you are and that you are an outstanding pilot and teacher... I will be one of the first to subscribe if you make the change.
I'm sure that's a tough decision for you. I would ask myself, what kind of company won't do business with someone who helps so many? I wouldn't want to hide who I am or what I passionately do. It is your choice though, over all. Love your channel either way.
He signed you confirmed, imagine that, congrats. I agree totally in changing the title, I understand how the world thinks. You need to do what is best for you and your family now, and from this family we support you. God bless. 🙂
Really enjoyed this video! I have a 1946 Aeronca Champ . . .no electrical . . . I tie down the tail and prop it . . . . just me . . . and my self . . . rarely do I take anyone with me . . . big, big "stress reliever" . . . . Been flying for over 50 years . . . Peace.
That's "Mr Bush Pilot" to you! 🤣 Congrats on getting the endorsement, taildraggers are a lot of fun. You should fly a 150HP Citabria - I got a few hours in that plane. 👍 My father-in-law is a pilot and instructor, and was in PNG for many years also. He says that pilots should learn to fly in a taildragger before transitioning to a nosewheel as it develops really good skills.
In a previous life I did a lot of branding and naming, especially of television program titles. My take is that "Mr. Bush Pilot" is absolutely perfect, and the way to go forward. Way to go ! And it still perfectly defines what you do when flying in PNG or other remote venues. So, grab the title now on all digital platforms.
That was really fun to watch, and it looked like you were having a great time Ryan. Your first landing looked picture perfect. I learned to fly in a brand new PA-38 Piper Tomahawk; it even had the "new airplane smell." lol! After I soloed, I transitioned to a Cessna 150E, the last year for the straight vertical stabilizer and mechanical flaps. The technique that Doug had you practice with pulling in flaps on takeoff was pretty much a standard procedure in the 35-40C heat where I learned to fly. I used to tell people it was like hitting the up button in an express elevator. Of all the planes I've flown, that old orange & white C150 holds a special spot in my heart. If you change the name of the channel I respectfully suggest you spell out Mister instead of using the common abbreviation. Visually, it has a similar appearance as the word Missionary. Just a thought... Keep us posted on your new airplane... that sounds like a bunch of fun!
Stay true to your roots. If the sponsors can’t handle missionary in the name are they the sponsors you want or need? Either way we’ll continue to watch!
Yes, I think Mr. Bush Pilot is a great channel name, and it makes it seem more open to everyone. Great video, and I am so happy for your new tailwheel adventures.
Mr. seems much better than Missionary. "Bush pilot" is why people (at least why I) watch your channel. It's the flying and your love of aviation and the technical walk through for procedures that keeps me coming back
You have paid your dues, developed a following, you have a great presence online, changing the name won't change who you are and the life you live ... go for it and great success and blessings.
3 minutes in and this is already one of my favorite videos of yours!! You’re a down to earth dude and it cones though vividly. Especially in this video!
Awesome video!! Mr. Bush Pilot sounds like a great name. I think having Bush Pilot in the name will really help with search engine optimization. Excited to see new video content of your plane purchase and all the adventures to follow.
What a calm and supportive instructor, he was great! Good luck with your new venture, Ryan. All the best from this Australian viewer and (long out of date) PPL.
Hey, Mr Bush Pilot is totally fine. You're such an inspiration. May you and yours be totally blessed and refreshed during your time at home. Thank you.
I learned how to fly in a PA-18 off an 800 foot dirt strip at the family ranch, been flying a 1948 Globe Swift that is fantastic, but she's a pavement princess...sure do miss that backcountry flying! I'm not sure about the name Mr. Bush pilot, not to be offensive, but it denotes seniority. There are a ton of guys with TH-cam channels flying backcountry for many years in tail draggers like the entire Flying Cowboys group and legends like Mike Patey. What ever name you choose, I'll still follow you! Thanks for all the great content!
Love that Super Cub and your check ride. What a terrific instructor Doug is. Mr Bush Pilot, I guess, will be fine. I personally like the Missionary moniker, but totally understand. Best of luck going forward and I look forward to your postings!
Oh my brings back memories from my youth in the mid 80’s I was a CFI for tail drager flying club doing tail wheel endorsements in a J3 a Super Cub and an Aeronca Champ. Minimum insurance requirements were 10 hours some were good in a couple of hours others I would suggest a few hours in a Cessna so I could remove a lot of bad habits and then go back to the Cub. Oh what fun that time of my life was.
Wow that was different such a small plane, good luck with the purchase and the new name sounds fine. Looking forward to all the new adventures Ryan best of luck mate.
If anyone has a issue with you changing your channel name they need to reevaluate whats important in life. Its your channel and even if you changed it to something weird I'd still watch. Keep safe Mr. Bush Pilot.
Man that looks like fun. First plane ride I ever had was in a Cub, flown by my uncle.Not sure why I haven't subscribed, but I have now. I enjoy your videos, you take flying seriously and yet still find the joy in it. I'd fly with you anytime.
Thanks for the update on your plans. Mr. sounds like a good business decision for recruiting other sponsors. i understand. You piloted great on your tail dragger check ride! Best to you and the family. during this state side time.
I have hours in the Tailwheel Aircraft and this PA-18 is the best one yet so have fun keeping your feet alive and Keeping directional controls at all times
Well hello Mr. Bush Pilot! I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I absolutely love them. I'm especially excited to see what you get up to in the future! I don't blame you for changing your channel name at all, I think that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do! I'll say that I'm not a religious person, and I really appreciate the fact that your videos always focused on flying first and foremost, and I never felt like you were pushing anything on your audience :) It's too bad that you feel like you have to change your name, but, as you said, that's the world we live in. Whatever happens, I'll keep enjoying your videos, and best of luck to you!
You're a great pilot and help people no matter what part of the world you're in. I will always follow this channel if you change the name, or content style. Your videos are worth watching.
Hey Ryan, NTM Phil from Senegal here. Really enjoyed this video, have been flying the Super Cub quite a bit in MSFS2020. Those little tail draggers are a challenge. I actually saw your video about buying the kit Fox before this one. Very cool, and extra cool re the crypto buy. I'm an early crypto guy myself. Great to see guys like you, from the NTM culture, modernizing the org. Love your stuff; keep it up and I'll keep watching.
Heh! I saw you at oshkosh "sniffing" around some kit-foxes! hope you get your own plane soon! would be awesome to see you flying with your own plane! good luck man! fly safe!
I'm liking this new direction, looking forward to seeing what plane you bought and the adventures you go in it , all the best man , I've loved following your journey so far 👍💪
Nice video, nice landing. I saw the way you quickly added a little nose down push on on your first take off like you usually do on the Kodiak. Congratulations on accomplishing one of your set goals. Missionary Bush Pilot vs Mr. Bush Pilot who cares, just keep doing what you love to do and have to do to keep it going. You might want to consider keeping the name Missionary Bush Pilot for future or history's sake or if you have plans of building a brand out of it later on. I wish you all the best in your plans and may you get every support you need. Cheers Ryan.
Hi Ryan, I think Mr. Bush Pilot is great for a channel name AND the subscribers who like your content, your family who loves you, & especially YOU know who you are inside and what makes you the person you try to emulate every day. Continue to be you because a channel name is just that, a name. Keep being amazing and stay safe!
I"m not a pilot but find myself watching this channel like I am a pilot...gotta stop saying at holiday in express....but to be serious...are pilots some of the most helpful and nicest people...must be a great fraternity to be a part of!
Ryan I really enjoyed this video I felt like I was flying the plane ( what a thrill ) Thank you for your news at the end and explaining home assignment. My dad was a minister for about 50 years so I do understand the need to raise Support. I’m going to think more about the new channel name my 40 plus years in Film and Video I hope I can offer some good thoughts for you to Consider too. My first thought about “ Mr Bush Pilot “ is double edged. Right now there is a channel where the owner uses an alias Mr Ba_ _ _ _ _. It as been a great way for him to change content as you may want to. Following his lead might make things faster however in my years in Hollywood and some work I did helping M TV launch many years ago and some feature film stars I learned how important being original is in a screen name Brand. Naturally I want you to have the very best success possible I’ll let you know once I give it more thought. My best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig This video is 16 stars out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bravo 👏🏻 I can’t wait for your next steps 😇
That looked like a lot of fun. I’m scheduled for my X-C as a student heli pilot and I enjoyed your lesson and CFI, today. Looking forward to hearing more about the prospective plane. Pray about the channel name change and do what God tells you to. The name with “Missionary” in it is what first drew me to your channel, but it doesn’t matter what I think; it matters what God says. :) Thanks for the explanation on “home assignment” - I only had guesses, before. :D
You have to do whatever you think is best for you and your family. Nobody else is looking after them and if it means you can progress and achieve your goals, you have to go forward with the name change as a positive step. You have such a large following, I'm sure that they will support you; after all, it's just a name change. You as the person, and the work you do, is not changing. Go for it and the very best of luck in achieving whatever you set out to do.
Whatever you do, I will love it! Thanks for clarifying the home assignment bit too! Hope you get the plane you want!! Best regards to you and your lovely family. ❤❤❤❤

"Mr. Bush Pilot" sounds like a fine channel name to me. 😄 Hope you get the plane you want!
After flying PNG he definitely deserves to be a Dr. Bush Pilot!! 😆
I say " Mr. Bush Pilot Machine!
A little too much sexual induendo.
I would personally write it out as Mister Bush Pilot

Great story!
@@astroboy483 Thank you! All true, I assure you!
I agree that it should definitely be spelled out Mister
"Missionary" is a very important word in Bush Pilot. You can't leave it out.
It's an interesting story with a warning attached to it. The warning being third party risk is no joke.
That's funny to see a pilot with 3,000 hrs smile when he does his first landing in a different airplane. Nice landing...BTW!
What an awesome teacher. He gave confidence where needed and didn't do anything to add stress to it. Fantastic job! As to your idea about changing the name, it makes sense. Missionary is limiting if you want to expand. In my humble opinion, go for it considering it makes sense.
I was going to write the same thing! Inspiring and fun!

The large number of missionary videos will presumably still be there, so it is not an either-or issue.
No Ignition , Condition or any of that NG stuff here just good ol Stick and Rudder flying with a pencil and Chart and a stop watch.
Great video. Looking forward to seeing more (and the new plane) in the future. Mr. Bush Pilot works for a new name. Did you by chance consider just dropping the "ary"... Mission: Bush Pilot would have a nice ring to it... maybe. 🙂 Anyway, all the best.

Can't be "diminishing" very much if, in this time of inflation, he's planning to buy an airplane.
Full respect to this instructor , what a professional, so nice to see :)

Mr Bush Pilot sounds good too, we already know where your heart is brother.
Interesting how quickly a highly experienced pilot becomes comfortable flying an unfamiliar aircraft. The CFI was excellent too.

@@MissionaryBushPilot Probably a good idea having a poll with , say, five different choices. The viewers may surprise you with their preferences.

Hi Ryan I flew as a passenger with Doug in Venezuela, cool to see. I have never been to McNeal yet

The instructor is superb and I love audio quality, fly high Bush Pilot
Stay true to your roots. If the sponsors can’t handle missionary in the name are they the sponsors you want or need? Either way we’ll continue to watch!
Yep I'd agree and I just saw he doesn't changed the name :)
Mr. Bush Pilot name sounds like a smart move. I'll watch whatever you call it. All the best...

What a calm and supportive instructor, he was great! Good luck with your new venture, Ryan. All the best from this Australian viewer and (long out of date) PPL.
Hey, Mr Bush Pilot is totally fine. You're such an inspiration. May you and yours be totally blessed and refreshed during your time at home. Thank you.
I learned how to fly in a PA-18 off an 800 foot dirt strip at the family ranch, been flying a 1948 Globe Swift that is fantastic, but she's a pavement princess...sure do miss that backcountry flying! I'm not sure about the name Mr. Bush pilot, not to be offensive, but it denotes seniority. There are a ton of guys with TH-cam channels flying backcountry for many years in tail draggers like the entire Flying Cowboys group and legends like Mike Patey. What ever name you choose, I'll still follow you! Thanks for all the great content!
Love that Super Cub and your check ride. What a terrific instructor Doug is. Mr Bush Pilot, I guess, will be fine. I personally like the Missionary moniker, but totally understand. Best of luck going forward and I look forward to your postings!
Oh my brings back memories from my youth in the mid 80’s I was a CFI for tail drager flying club doing tail wheel endorsements in a J3 a Super Cub and an Aeronca Champ. Minimum insurance requirements were 10 hours some were good in a couple of hours others I would suggest a few hours in a Cessna so I could remove a lot of bad habits and then go back to the Cub. Oh what fun that time of my life was.
Ryan.....you are, no doubt, one of the top 5 channels on the whole www. It wont matter what you call it.
I wish you and yours well, Ryan :)
Wow that was different such a small plane, good luck with the purchase and the new name sounds fine. Looking forward to all the new adventures Ryan best of luck mate.
Sounds like a fine name for your next step in aviation. Good luck.
Just like a school boy with a new pair of shoes!!! That smile told me everything!! Godspeed!!!
Fantastic instructor and a beautiful Cub! Hope you and the family enjoy your time stateside. Love what you're doing with Ethnos.
Love the cub...it's what I trained on! Great job! I AGREE WITH YOUR DECISION!
Mr. Bush Pilot sounds great. Especially when it comes to business. Great video
If anyone has a issue with you changing your channel name they need to reevaluate whats important in life. Its your channel and even if you changed it to something weird I'd still watch. Keep safe Mr. Bush Pilot.
I guess MrBushPilot is Ok.. too bad RyanAir is already taken 😃
This was a good one!
Ryan Air 🤔 sends a cheeky tweet 😉
Man that looks like fun. First plane ride I ever had was in a Cub, flown by my uncle.Not sure why I haven't subscribed, but I have now. I enjoy your videos, you take flying seriously and yet still find the joy in it. I'd fly with you anytime.
I love the Super Cub...such a forgiving plane. I got my endorsement in the 70's..best entry in my log book. Great job Ryan.
Thanks for the update on your plans. Mr. sounds like a good business decision for recruiting other sponsors. i understand. You piloted great on your tail dragger check ride! Best to you and the family. during this state side time.
I have hours in the Tailwheel Aircraft and this PA-18 is the best one yet so have fun keeping your feet alive and Keeping directional controls at all times
Onwards and upwards,
Stay strong and fly safe,
Mr Bush Pilot 🙂
Looks like you had a lot of fun, thanks for taking us along on your journey!
Good luck on your journey. I can’t wait to see what you do next. 👏
Well hello Mr. Bush Pilot! I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I absolutely love them. I'm especially excited to see what you get up to in the future!
I don't blame you for changing your channel name at all, I think that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do! I'll say that I'm not a religious person, and I really appreciate the fact that your videos always focused on flying first and foremost, and I never felt like you were pushing anything on your audience :)
It's too bad that you feel like you have to change your name, but, as you said, that's the world we live in. Whatever happens, I'll keep enjoying your videos, and best of luck to you!
Agree name change as it will make it so much easier for you. We'll still be tuning in and good luck with new plane purchase.
Thank you, Ryan. Good luck in your plane hunting, Mr Bush Pilot.
"Mr Bush Pilot" is a great description of your channel.
It is your channel and it is just a name. You can do with it whatever you like.
Sounds good me too, brought back memories when I did my tail wheel conversion!
You're a great pilot and help people no matter what part of the world you're in. I will always follow this channel if you change the name, or content style. Your videos are worth watching.
Doug was an amazing instructor. Great video...TY.
"Mister" is perfect
Im glad that you kept the name as it is.
Hey Ryan, NTM Phil from Senegal here. Really enjoyed this video, have been flying the Super Cub quite a bit in MSFS2020. Those little tail draggers are a challenge. I actually saw your video about buying the kit Fox before this one. Very cool, and extra cool re the crypto buy. I'm an early crypto guy myself. Great to see guys like you, from the NTM culture, modernizing the org. Love your stuff; keep it up and I'll keep watching.
Mr Bush Pilot - follow your dreams! Take the step Ryan. All the best from the UK.
Heh! I saw you at oshkosh "sniffing" around some kit-foxes! hope you get your own plane soon! would be awesome to see you flying with your own plane! good luck man! fly safe!
Nice to meet you Mr. Bush Pilot....
I hope everything works out for you in your new adventure and new channel name, I will still be here watching :)
I'm liking this new direction, looking forward to seeing what plane you bought and the adventures you go in it , all the best man , I've loved following your journey so far 👍💪
Keep up the great work! Mr. Bush Pilot gets a thumbs up from here. All the best!
I get the name change and business side of it. One thing to keep in mind and never forget is the Reason for this. Keep Him first in all you do
Nice work brothers, God Speed!
Nice video, nice landing. I saw the way you quickly added a little nose down push on on your first take off like you usually do on the Kodiak. Congratulations on accomplishing one of your set goals. Missionary Bush Pilot vs Mr. Bush Pilot who cares, just keep doing what you love to do and have to do to keep it going. You might want to consider keeping the name Missionary Bush Pilot for future or history's sake or if you have plans of building a brand out of it later on. I wish you all the best in your plans and may you get every support you need. Cheers Ryan.
Hi Ryan,
I think Mr. Bush Pilot is great for a channel name AND the subscribers who like your content, your family who loves you, & especially YOU know who you are inside and what makes you the person you try to emulate every day. Continue to be you because a channel name is just that, a name.
Keep being amazing and stay safe!
Fascinating stuff.
Awesome video! Thank you sharing your flight journey with us!
I"m not a pilot but find myself watching this channel like I am a pilot...gotta stop saying at holiday in express....but to be serious...are pilots some of the most helpful and nicest people...must be a great fraternity to be a part of!
Ryan
I really enjoyed this video I felt like I was flying the plane ( what a thrill )
Thank you for your news at the end and explaining home assignment. My dad was a minister for about 50 years so I do understand the need to raise Support.
I’m going to think more about the new channel name my 40 plus years in Film and Video I hope I can offer some good thoughts for you to Consider too.
My first thought about “ Mr Bush Pilot “ is double edged. Right now there is a channel where the owner uses an alias
Mr Ba_ _ _ _ _. It as been a great way for him to change content as you may want to. Following his lead might make things faster however in my years in Hollywood and some work I did helping M TV launch many years ago and some feature film stars I learned how important being original is in a screen name Brand.
Naturally I want you to have the very best success possible
I’ll let you know once I give it more thought.
My best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig
This video is 16 stars out of 5 stars

Bravo 👏🏻
I can’t wait for your next steps 😇
That looked like a lot of fun. I’m scheduled for my X-C as a student heli pilot and I enjoyed your lesson and CFI, today. Looking forward to hearing more about the prospective plane. Pray about the channel name change and do what God tells you to. The name with “Missionary” in it is what first drew me to your channel, but it doesn’t matter what I think; it matters what God says. :) Thanks for the explanation on “home assignment” - I only had guesses, before. :D
You have to do whatever you think is best for you and your family.
Nobody else is looking after them and if it means you can progress and achieve your goals, you have to go forward with the name change as a positive step.
You have such a large following, I'm sure that they will support you; after all, it's just a name change. You as the person, and the work you do, is not changing. Go for it and the very best of luck in achieving whatever you set out to do.
Greetings from the Cayman Islands, may God continue to bless you
About the name change...go for it. Cannot wait to see what plane you are looking at.
Whatever you do, I will love it! Thanks for clarifying the home assignment bit too! Hope you get the plane you want!! Best regards to you and your lovely family. ❤❤❤❤
Outstanding as always & nice landings! 🤙
(The name change sounds just perfect)
Good job on the endorsement. Keep your brakes in good shape they will be needed occasionally. We will stick with you going forward.
