- ***Ok... so maybe they didn’t repossess it. But McBean did take it and went waterskiing for his first time...
My good friend Jerry needed a ride up to Idaho to do some training. I am not one to turn down an adventure. Headwinds, fog and cold weather didn't keep us from having a good time on our trek to the Kitfox homelands.
Hey guys, sorry about the clickbait... Kitfox did not repossess my plane, I apologize for misleading you, but the next video I post will have a crazy title that I promise isnt clickbait! It will be a good one so stay tuned!
You know that you can edit your titles, right? Dislike for the clickbait title.
At least you are up front about it, so if I have anything bad to say it would be about unsafe flying, but that could be just the camera angle.
Yeah don't mislead us! Otherwise nice. What's the cost per hour on this one?
Dislike and unsub for the stupid clickbait
The ONLY reason I did not BLOCK, DISLIKE and UNSUB is because of your apology. TH-cam is getting SO filled with clickbait I DO NOT PUT UP WITH IT ANYMORE. Clickbait title=BLOCK, DISLIKE and UNSUB
Couple things:
1) I've never been a huge fan of the Kitfox, but I'm slowly falling in love with your airplane.
2) Your videos are reigniting my love of flying that has laid dormant for about 6 years since I quit instructing. I can feel my flying heart beating again.
Awesome! Glad I am helping reinvigorate your passion for flight! And be careful the Kitfox will do that to you, make sure not to take a ride in one, because then it’ll be hopeless and you’ll have to build/buy one... 😉
That rare moment when the the video outdoes the clickbait
Jack Witchalls very very true !
Loved the expression (or lack there of) on John’s face with the water skiing! I was thinking his heart rate never got above 70 LOL. Great vid Trent, had a smile on my face the entire time. 👍
I was thinking the exact same thing when editing this, too funny
Love your videos. Keep them up. I just got checked out in a super cub this year and have loved it. I'm loving all your off airport content.
Nice work as usual trent. Kitfox is lucky to have your support and they seem like cool folks. Your vids show off the flying/stol experience better than any out there. Always exited when i see in my inbox that you have posted a new one. Thanks
All of your videos are Epic! They are so well done and entertaining. If they do not inspire someone to want to fly or be a pilot (fixed wing) nothing will.
Thanks man! That really is my goal with these videos, inspire people to get into aviation.
Hopefully Trent inspires you to put out more videos of your own because yours are pretty cool too... ;-)
Always love your videos Trent they are full of interesting and beauitiful places,the aircraft really represents freedom to fly wherever and wheneveryou want to,keep them coming and thank you for sharing these adventures.
Thanks for making the extra effort to film your trip! Your a magician at editing. Loved the expression on Johns face when he water skied for the first time. Calm and collective. I'd be like " Holy s**t Trent! Please tell me you got that on film so I can show everybody I know!" Good call on the tour in the Kitfox hanger. Cool to see the fabrication shop in everyday life. Your awesome!
I know, I was expecting at least some reaction from John, I think I got 10x as excited as he did. And thanks!
Winner in the Best Aviation Category. Epic. Trent's work has made be believe in General Aviation again. Now I just need Big Tires on my 152.
Haha, thanks man, I can only hope I inspire people to get into General Aviation with my videos
Great story Trent, loved the different characters and how you showed them off individually, enjoyed the ending and the way video ebbed and flowed. A nice treat was the showing of your dash from time to time as that's where I paused the video to get a handle on your flight numbers. Thanks!
Thanks, glad my edit choices didnt go un noticed! Cheers!
Nice ride . like to see more of your beautiful country. Thanks
I love the editing on this vid especially... vids like these are what make GA and flying seem like the worlds coolest thing to do.
Love the black and green paint scheme in the hanger
Excellent film and fun to see the KitFox factory and people! It feels like you have taken your B-roll to the next level, very "cinematic" and love the butter smooth slowmo. You got some good inspiration there... Great job. We want more...
Back in the 80's when Stead Airport had an operation called Sierra Nevada Soaring which was a Soaring Operation , Rentals, School etc. It was owned by a retired SR-71 pilot named Bill Skliar. We had years of fun soaring around Northern Nevada. One thing we would often do is fly RC planes launched from our two place gliders. We had an "insane" group of pilots who teamed up with the sky diving operation. They would enjoy leaping from our sailplanes, but none of use reciprocated and tried our hands at skydiving. Anyway our gliders, just like your KitFox could fly slow enough to stay with the RC planes. We tried the same thing with our tow plane and Scout but the speed difference was too great and didn't work well at all. Other planes,172s and up were mostly out of the question. Another note about the glider operation at Stead those yeas from the late 70s through the 90s saw us do many things. We had a "Wave Window" wherein we'd call the FAA or the Reno Tower and they'd open a blocked section of airspace and they'd keep other traffic out of the 'Wave Window" and we'd make flights up to, I think the highest was 34,000 ft. (with dual oxygen systems for safety) I personally attained an altitude in our Wave Window of 30,500 ft. So, yes, there is a history of RC flights from aircraft over and around the Stead Airport by members of Sierra Nevada Soaring. Love what you guys are doing, keep it up!
Sweet video. Keep them coming! The best flying videos on TH-cam.
Thanks man, I appreciate that! Let me know if there are any specific videos you would like to see 👍
Wow. Trent, you have epic movie making skill! Please keep them coming. So great to watch
Sir, thanks for your videos the views you provide are just awesome mind-blowing and your quality I'm enjoying my new 4K TV immensely again thanks sir for the work you do enjoying your videos in Ohio
You got me with the clickbait. A friend repossess planes for a living, and I once was ordered to repo the entire fleet of a flight school. That was an interesting day, and it taught me something; I was the only mechanic on that airport that could pick what's basically a file cabinet lock.
Great video. I would love to see some video of Jerry's Stick and Rudder training with Paul . Idaho is great.
Yeah, since he was just doing some remedial stuff he didnt go do anything exciting but I think I will try to get up there and do some flying with them this spring to do a video of that!
wow , want a bush plane now ,, great factory ,, great music and flying bra
Glad to see ya fly in our home town... homedale/Caldwell... thanks for posting your vids! Keep it up
Love your filming artistry... your editing fun... and your choice of music to go with it all. And I appreciate your honesty about when you experience a "gets your bood going"-"pucker factor"!
This one wets the appetite for getting light in spite of the clickbait nature of the posting. Dude you make me want to be in the air. Thanks
Excellent video! Thanks
Wow. Great footage and plane. I’ve never been interested in a kit fox until now.
Your vids are looking great. Really dig the culture your showing yo. Peace and be safe in the skies.
Best ad for a kitfox. Great work
Nice seeing the kf factory!!, epic badass feeling in the beginning 🤘
You're a good videographer too. Enjoying the channel as I'm just getting into aviation.
Thanks!
Fantastic scenery 👍👍👏👏
Followed now for a while, finally sub today. Love these vids and the airplane.
Trent your videos are the most awesome ever, I try not to miss any, I fly R/C airplanes for fun here in Barbados, keep making these videos they are the highlight of my weekends..One love bro from Barbados
What a video - successful air search & rescue and capture of a new subscriber. Next step is to fly the model plane back into the Kitfox like the speed suit guys flying into the Pilatus ?
I enjoyed the trip Trent. Thanks for filming it.
Cool to see you in my neck of the woods! I had no idea that Kitfox was located so close to me. Pretty sweet!
The Diner at the Nampa and Caldwell Airport is some of the best.
Hope Jerry did well on the remedial. Awesome to see a bit of Stick n Rudder and Kitfox factory. Love these vlogs, dude. All you need now is a flying dog sidekick. Someday.
Thanks man! I’ve thought about bringing my dog up but he’s a big goofy one that might be a pain in the plane so I’ve decided not to...
You had me like " OH NOOooo..." but then I went "fwooo..." :) Glad you still have plane!
Wow, the music is just as good as the scenery spot on Trent !!!!!!
So beautiful imagery
Love the music and views!
I'm about a month away from my private. Will be headed your way sometime as my sister lives in Reno. Love the vids and glad you still have your plane.
Kinda nice seeing home from a different vantage point. Loving the videos.
Roses are red violets are blue I just got click baited and so did you
😝
Love your videos, and your plane too obviously!
loop
Just beautiful.
There is some really beautiful shots right there! Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! Keep em coming!
Hey Trent! Greetings from Florida. Your Kitfox is beautiful, I cant wait to own one myself. For now my vlogs will have to include the rental Cessnas.
Hey, flying is better than not flying!
Damn, that's super cool that you know and can fly out to the owners of the company that produced your aircraft. That's just cool as hell.
Yeah, it’s pretty awesome, and it’s great that the owners are such cool people
Ever fly into Al'E'Inn? Just across from Area 51, got to be the weirdest little shit hole in NV. Learned about it on WTWW shortwave 5085 khz.
Caught your vid on flying with the best Hollywood Camera. That is some impressive gear and wonderful camera work. Image of the camera body reminded my of my old Mamiya RB-67. Had a commercial artist paint the view finder shield with Mr Natural truckin' along pulling a wagon carrying the camera. Big heavy beast but I used to backpack in the Sierras with it. Great piece of gear.
That is a beautiful aircraft you have. What you do with it and how it is setup is a joy to watch.
Smooth skies to you.
Thanks for sharing your trip. Great video.
I’m a new subscriber. I have to tell you that you do a really nice job editing your videos. The few that I’ve watched are well done.
Thanks man!
Great stuff as usual!
Awesome stuff!
I love it guy. Great video. Makes me want to buy one.
Your best video so far if you ask me!
Thanks
Black rock dry lake?There are a lot of hot springs out there to go swimming in.That glass dashboard looks very trick.Very nicely finished plane.
Yeah, that was black rock! Flew over a few of the springs but I’m sure their are tons that I haven’t seen yet
Quality videography! Max kudos. Subscribed, and sharing for sure.And the audio is so good, I'm recommending to listen with headphones or earbuds.
The fish seem to love it
Killer vid as usual!!! Keep it up man!!
Damn...the clickbait still ended up so worth it. Shit man...I looked at kitfox for yrs but started to convince myself of a 172. You messed me up all over again. Finishing my ppl finally in 2018...took me 10 f'in yrs.
You should make a video explaining what plane you have, what parts you are using, what mods you have done, and how you built it. I think that it would be very interesting and many people probably are wondering what you set up is, since it fly's so good.
Awesome videos keep it up!
Check my other video “Why I Fly Kitfox” it’s a walk around that is basically exactly what you said!
Cool, thanks
Next time you are in Nampa you really should eat at the Nampa Airport. The Tower Grill except Tuesday they are closed, normally open 8-2. Some of the best food for an airport.
Who gives this kind of video a thumbs down? Your friends must hate you. Trent, as always, great video.
love the music....and as always your photog is amaze balls
Will you please stop making such interesting and beautifully produced vlogs. I'm binge watching. HELP!
Where are the hot that springs you flew over located?
Also, a bit of useless information... I landed my paramotor at the old airport in moab this last weekend just to talk to a couple of guys that were putting the wings in place on their kitfox. Aside from kitfox I couldn't tell you what any given plane was by looking at it, but from the air I knew they had a kitfox from where I sat in the air. I chatted with them as they were preparing for a flight, they mentioned that they love your videos, as do I, I can't wait to see your channel take off. Keep up the solid videos and top notch footage.
The spring in this video was actually Fly Geyser, it’s incredible looking in the right light. But that was my first time actually seeing it in person.
That’s awesome about the Kitfox in Moab! And thanks, glad you are enjoying my videos 😁
Your plane is so cool 😎!
Thanks!!
Trent, another great video thanks for making and sharing. Sorry we did not get to hook up over Thanksgiving while I was visiting family up in Incline. Oh well maybe next time I'm up or you're down this way. CHEERS, Kenny
What is the music you have on this video? --- It's Lagoon by J.A.K. Trent had answered this question way down the comments list where I fished it out. Guess Trent doesn't want to be answering it over and over, so I came back via edit and added the answer to my own question in case some others are also wondering. I was surprised that my standby app for identifying music, Shazam, would not ID it. Trent, The music on all your videos is really nice. Overall great quality and very entertaining as well as informative. I'm new to this stuff, currently studying for the knowledge test, looking forward to flying.
When it's clickbait, but so good you don't even care.
Older video/older edit. Trent, cool to see your evolution. I like the take off before getting to the blacktop. F it.
Awesome video mate! They are looking really good. Yeah, the aviation is sick... But the vids are well done. Are you going to Oshkosh 2018?
Love your videos! Really good editing, music and a right mix of scenery and story telling. For me, you really catch the essence of GA-flying; the feeling of freedom, scenery and passion :) Thank you form a fellow GA-pilot in Scandinavia. By the way, what is the name of the song at the end? Really cool tune!
I train in nampa, id....you should come back someday so I can fly with you!!!
So you got John to solo with a CASTERING tailwheel?? Congratulations! LOL
Yep! He actually seemed to like the tailwheel more than he thought he would. I don’t think he will be switching his but he didn’t hate mine
Not a bad video---though for more inspirational flying with no talk, I found "Flytech Race and Rally". It blew my socks off!
I instantly recognized Nampa from the first shot of gas pump. :P
Great video; I keep a hanger at stead , I would love to do a walk around on your kit Fox ?
I think I want to build one! Not even finished with my Lancair yet and your videos get me thinking of off airport opps ! Good job
Hey Jay, for sure! I’m in the air race hangar, let’s find a time to link up and I’ll show you around her
Trent Palmer
I’m at the airport Monday/Tuesday and Friday as a rule working on my plane, and some weekends, today in fact! Lol . I’ll keep an eye out for you
Thanks
You should get your instrument ticket, if you haven’t done so already, that way you won’t get socked in and try to scud run. It appears you have experience, judgement and skill, but I have known a few pilots that have bought the farm - CFIT. Sadly might I say, one was Paul Marchiosotta (sp?). Who crashed the day after he got his instrument. My CFI signed off on his hours and was very hesitant in doing so, he was a brilliant engineer (not the CFI) and only flew the minimum 40 hours. It was the day of Thanksgiving and he could of done any number of things to avoid putting himself in harms way. Three souls perished. The other was trying to get his buddy to the airport from KPSP in a Cessna Caravan after I believe he missed the flight, he flew VFR through Banning Pass (into IMC) and learned a hard lesson, unfortunately. I’m pretty sure this guy had thousands of hours? Like the saying goes “ there are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.” The other pilot I didn’t know was extremely skilled, an astronaut, and he was flying low in the Sierra Nevadas and I don’t remember what the NTSB report was but there most have been a strong rotor, mountain waves or a microburst and that pushed his plane into the ground ☹️
Nice videography thanks for sharing!! Fly safe and don’t succumb to peer pressure or in this day and age doing something to get that crazy video clip on TH-cam that could spell trouble?
Great work!
too bad for the clickbait tile. Video shots were very well done! Much improved editing. Thanks for sharing such nice videos.
Great video!
Hey Trent your brother sent me over this video...
Really really awesome edit!!! Looked amazing and that was just watching on a crap iPhone.
Gunna check some of your other stuff out on a real screen!
I wanna get w Kevin, meet up and check this thing out in person sometime, I’d love to pick your brain and learn more about owning/flying it.
Hey Mark, that’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and for sure, I’d be happy to link up and chat airplane stuffs
Nice. Real nice.
Nampa Airport, used to live 2 miles off the east end of their runway on East Powerline. You should go over and pester Rob at KEUL he's the GM there
he landed that thing sooo smooth..
Love the homedale airport, and there's good milkshakes with a short walk. :) I live just southwest of the KMAN pattern, which means my three year old waved at you while you were here. He waves. at. every. plane.
Awesome.
Love it! As usual bro.
Awesome Video dude. Nice Iphone X. You also forgot to say hi to my dad and the metal shop guys
I know, your dad only popped in to come make fun of me! Haha
haha sounds like my dad alright
You definitely couldn’t do that water ski trick in Oklahoma! The water is never that calm. Too windy.
Very nice Vlog 🤙🏻
Incredible VLOG Mr Palmer...your soundtracks are mesmerising...any chance you could include details if regulations permit...
Decalin,, lead scavenger yes, gearbox....WTF! We are so gonna have a talk! Great channel man!
Nice landing John I couldn’t see it touch down !
That green and black plane being put together or being worked on was badass , would like to see it all put together
I bet those are expensive
The green and black one is completed! That’s the speedster version, so it’s a fast one. Go check out the video on Kitfox Aircraft’s TH-cam channel, Kyle Franklin did an aerobatic routine in that plane at Oshkosh this year!
Trent Palmer thank you so much that plane is so cool I love the color scheme but had no idea that it did tricks if I had that thing it would be rubbed with a diaper
