The US desert Southwest is such a national treasure. It's sad that many of our fellow Americans have never seen these vistas up close much less at ground level. The scenery in this video was inspiring. Thanks for sharing this time with your son!
Beautiful -- great to see Dad and son doing things like this -- one for the history books and to be remembered forever , Your son will tell his buddies for the rest of his life what his DAD did for him. Well done and God Bless ! ! !
Ryan that was just sensational. Brilliantly videoed and edited including the music. I could feel the emotion that you experienced and so special that you were able to share it with your son.
In the 50s and 60s I was frequently a passenger on piston planes, from 172s to Constellations, but mostly DC-3s. I always enjoyed the customary run-ups before takeoff. Two or four big radials at full throttle for a few seconds we’re awesome.
Brilliant! The canyon flying is superb and so well edited and produced. Truly the stuff of dreams - a wonderful experience for you and Chaucer to hold dear in the future.
Really liked the video. Chaucer was enjoyable to hear. Sounds like he was having fun. The scenery was great. Memories forever. Take care and god bless.
Always so much fun riding along with you.. No doubt in my mind your son will remember that trip forever. It's really nice to see you get to spend quality time with your family too. As always thanks for bringing us along and I'll see you in the next video brother.
Every time I see views like that of those canyons out west it is humbling to contemplate how much time it took for nature to create them. Seems impossible. If you went back something that seems a long time to us, say 250,000 years, it wouldn't look any different. You would need hundreds of millions of years. Beautiful images.
The majestic beauty of the area around your campsite was quite a contrast to the lush mountain ranges of PNG. I am glad you and your son were able to share the experience with us.
Wonderful! This just may be your best video in the US to date! Those strobes look great. Very jealous of the terrain for your in flight videos. Doesn’t get any better especially with the sunset! Surprised your tail camera doesn’t get layered with dust! Great editing and I know the time it takes! Cheers!
Love this new format of "adventures with your son"...it reminds me the ones i got with my daughter and my plane when she was here with me. For sure i gave her something unique between us. Congrats
I really liked the comment about having your own personal mini Grand Canyon. I live in southern Nevada and I travel as often as I can around Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. I've started avoiding the national parks in favor of the state parks. Go to a place like Moab and the national parks are PACKED with people. There are stories of people having to wait hours to get into Arches NP. But if you go up into the hills, you can visit Deadhorse State Park and many times be one of the only persons there!
That was fantastic Ryan, lovely to see father and son bonding! Amazing adventure to share with Chaucer and what a beautiful place to camp and have a fly around👌
Maybe the concrete pad was part of the old concrete arrows that were used as beacon stations, but the arrow part is no longer there??? It’s weird that there’s a concrete slab out in the middle of no where. Great video and such great memories made with your son!
Absolutely loved this video, very lucky young man and congratz on achieving your dream and being able to pass it along to your son at the same time. Not gonna lie heart string were jerked watching the canyon flight.
Ryan, I hate to see you sell the kit fox but it was a joy to see you enjoy and modify the aircraft while you owned it. I can't wait to see you back on mission in Pau Pau New Guinea this year.
This video got me smiling big time, amazing views and adventures. I'm happy for you guys and Thank you so much for sharing this Ryan, I needed to see this right now! 🙏
If there's an arrow pointing to and from it, it is probably an old postal beacon location used in the 30s to 50s as a navigation aid way before radios were used. They were between 20 and 40 miles apart in the west so pilots could navigate at night across the dark desert.
Ryan, what can one say but, Wow! If I recall correctly your youngest son is (was) not that comfortable flying so it’s great that you could have this very precious moment together. Awesome adventure, great editing and music, one of your best videos for sure.
Cool video! A guy I went to high school with does this sort of thing (camping/picnicking) in his 1958 Cessna 182A. He is a retired commercial pilot. Thanks for the video!
Wow. Visited that place in 2019. Didn't see a soul around, and the runway looked abandoned 😂. One of the most remote places in the region. Very beautiful and humbling.
Watching this made me so incredibly happy, getting to see you fulfill a dream with your son makes me want to do the same with mine some day! Blessings on you and this summer as you head back to PNG!
very cool - thanks for sharing! also somehow cute how both of you reacted to shoot. Hope you and your son had a good one - I‘d love to sth alike here in austria, but there are too many restrictions
I didn't read through all the comments, so maybe someone else already pointed this out. I found that rectangular structure on Google Maps and it is a water catchment. It collects rainwater and stores it in a tank that is either under the ground, or maybe hidden under the catchment apron. It feeds the drinker that is just east of the apron, and provides water for wildlife, probably primarily bighorn sheep. 36.307100488320906, -113.8278112316474
Big comparison to the Kodiak your use to flying. I always wonder how does a missionary pilot stay or get current when they leave it for a year.?suggestion you could do a video about that process it would be interesting to know because it’s never talked about.
You just gave your son something he will always remember.
Memories that your son will cherish the rest of his life. Great job dad I just know your son is very proud of you. God bless you and your family 🙏❤
Nothing better than being a father. It's truly the best thing that can happen.
I love to see the dad & son relationship, sharing the love of aviation❤
I watched this a second time. I grew up without a father. This just gives me joy❤
The US desert Southwest is such a national treasure. It's sad that many of our fellow Americans have never seen these vistas up close much less at ground level. The scenery in this video was inspiring. Thanks for sharing this time with your son!
WOW this is amazing! great bonding!
That's some quality father and son time well spent! Little dude must be really lucky to have a father like you and no doubt he deserves it!
You would LOVE Idaho for small dirt strips and air camping !
I know, that was the original plan and just ran out of time
The duo of dad and kiddo was great.😍😍
Beautiful -- great to see Dad and son doing things like this -- one for the history books and to be remembered forever , Your son will tell his buddies for the rest of his life what his DAD did for him. Well done and God Bless ! ! !
LUV it, LUV it, LUV it. Enjoying all your freedoms with your son!! Right there with you brother.
As a father I can say this is a great project and a great trip!
Ryan that was just sensational. Brilliantly videoed and edited including the music. I could feel the emotion that you experienced and so special that you were able to share it with your son.
What a blast. Glad you were able to do a bit of airplane camping. Canyon flying was spectacular! Thanks for sharing!🙏🙏
Never seen you where a hat before. Keep making these great family approval videos and I’ll keep following you wherever you go.
WOW! The flight, the scenery, the music, and the variety of shots were excellent!
Beautiful...it is always good to get to camp out with your son, memories that won't be forgotten! Take care and stay safe.

Great Dads are not celebrated enough in America. I'm sure your son will never forget flying with his father.
Brilliant! The canyon flying is superb and so well edited and produced. Truly the stuff of dreams - a wonderful experience for you and Chaucer to hold dear in the future.
Your boy would have loved that
I always remember my dad taking me on overnight sailing adventures...these are gold memories
The Southwest is so beautiful! Thank you!
Really liked the video. Chaucer was enjoyable to hear. Sounds like he was having fun. The scenery was great. Memories forever. Take care and god bless.
Use the force Luke is what came to my mind while flying through the canyon. Great father son outing and something to always remember.
Great to see you getting in some great family bonding with your son.
May You, you family and your trusty Plane, be blessed!! Thank you, its like I was with you two!!
The cement pads are put there to collect rain water which runs into a trough to provide water for the wild animals.
On the side of a mountain that high up?
@@MissionaryBushPilot Yes, if you look real close you will see a trough next to the pad with water in it. Those are all over the state.
Spending quality time with kiddo... priceless...... What an experience....
Always so much fun riding along with you.. No doubt in my mind your son will remember that trip forever. It's really nice to see you get to spend quality time with your family too. As always thanks for bringing us along and I'll see you in the next video brother.
Fun! Fun! Fun! What spectacular scenery, and I bet the stars were amazing at night, sittin’ by the campfire… 💛
Used to fly out of Avra Valley. Lots of good flying in Arizona.

Thank you for taking us along! The view is majestic, especially at sunset! 🥰
What a lovely Video. We are going to miss these adventures in the kit fox. Good footage. Thanks for posting.

like father, like son!! thankyou for bringing us along :)
Great video! My favorite! Thanks for sharing your airplane camping adventure.

There were two of you in the plane and yet you both managed to take all off us with you,,,Thanks for that.
Very nice video. Amazing that you can also take your son up there. He definitely will remember it always.
Great Video Ryan, you gave your young Co-Pilot some brilliant memories!
The best part of this was the adventure and memories made with your son. What better than an aviation adventure.
Living the dream. Your son will remember this.
18:45 you caught a glimpse of and wasted a most beautiful shot. Great video by the way. I'm loving it.
Maybe the concrete pad was part of the old concrete arrows that were used as beacon stations, but the arrow part is no longer there??? It’s weird that there’s a concrete slab out in the middle of no where. Great video and such great memories made with your son!
Love the video, thanks for shring! Really good video quality!

Good morning from Minnesota USA! So fantastic!! Airplane camping it one of the simple pleasures of life! Great episode!
Ryan, I hate to see you sell the kit fox but it was a joy to see you enjoy and modify the aircraft while you owned it. I can't wait to see you back on mission in Pau Pau New Guinea this year.
Wow, a great FATHER/SON thingy....perfect memory.
This video got me smiling big time, amazing views and adventures. I'm happy for you guys and Thank you so much for sharing this Ryan, I needed to see this right now! 🙏
What a gorgeous video and experience for you and your young son. Exceptional landscape thank you.
What a better , we in Finland have forest aircraft landinng areas , que you can landing.
Uncommerias

There's car camping, hiking and camping and airplane camping, I think I would like to try airplane camping looks like fun.
This is a great video to watch
Well done sir..................well done.
Incredible experience. Life long memories.
That was so awesome! Take care.
Man that looks like fun!
great video and assume night flight over canyon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan, what can one say but, Wow! If I recall correctly your youngest son is (was) not that comfortable flying so it’s great that you could have this very precious moment together. Awesome adventure, great editing and music, one of your best videos for sure.
Mashallah. These are the moments we're you just say. That's what we live for.
Nice one, I wish it'd been me!
Great to show your kids things of the passed. Have a plane you can go anywhere.
I one day will take my son flying as well. I am working on my PPL now. We are in Northern California so we have alot of good places to go to.
Go to Tahoe. Im in nor cal as well and Tahoe is beautiful! I see these private planes landing in flat areas and camping there! Very fun!
Fabulous. Love the scenery.
Cool video! A guy I went to high school with does this sort of thing (camping/picnicking) in his 1958 Cessna 182A. He is a retired commercial pilot. Thanks for the video!
That is awesome teaching your son to shot and enjoy the outdoors!
I teally enjoyed joining you n your boy on a flying-camping adventure. Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!
Wow. Visited that place in 2019. Didn't see a soul around, and the runway looked abandoned 😂. One of the most remote places in the region. Very beautiful and humbling.
Love this video! Thank You! Born in Tucson, been around the world myself, never made it to northern Az. YET.
Great trip! Enjoyed that.
Great video! These are the great experiences that life has to offer! Your son will look back on these for many years.
Great memories for you two ..👍
Father of the year!
Very nice, only one thing missing would be a telescope and a camera because it looks like a beautiful place to do some astrophotography.
This is just cool! Definitely adding airplane camping to my bucket list 😁
Watching this made me so incredibly happy, getting to see you fulfill a dream with your son makes me want to do the same with mine some day! Blessings on you and this summer as you head back to PNG!
very cool - thanks for sharing! also somehow cute how both of you reacted to shoot. Hope you and your son had a good one - I‘d love to sth alike here in austria, but there are too many restrictions
Beautiful aerial shots!
Great video production. The footage thru the canyon was awesome
Just wanted to say "wow", that was something.
Wow, best video yet! Felt like I was there with you! What a beautiful area!
experimental class aviation looks like such good fun! I might try to get into it one day
Happy for you man! Wish you za best
When I start flying again, I may bug you for one of those toggle flow check things for a C172
Well prepared, good for you.
Man, this is incredible!
What a wonderful time, father and son. Yes you are indeed blessed. What terrific flight up the canyon, spectacular…….Roger
what an amazing dad
Plane camping looks fun! 😀

Ryan, thanks for sharing the airplane camp out adventure! Enjoyed the spectacular content and narration you provide while flying. Keep it coming! 🤙
Big comparison to the Kodiak your use to flying.

Pip Pin the rudder stops???? and add latch and weather stripping to the cargo area????
