All of you guys could have piled into Draco, and landed in the parking lot at the coffee shop, no need to take ground transportation. That thing is awesome!!
What a great day, even with the bad weather, better day than getting up for another day of work to pay bills. Enjoy every minute of it and keep posting videos. Thanks for sharing.
It's crazy cause I'm not a fan of heights, but flying does not bother me. I flew for the first time last January and loved it!! We flew from kentucky where we live to Arizona and back in one day. That's what started my love for flying. Then I found this channel and love the kitfox plane. So instead of getting a cessna or piper I've decided to get a bishop plane and build it myself. Cant wait to get this project started. I'm way to excited. Thanks for the channel trent and time out of your days to make every one else's day. Be safe and God bless.
Just finished watching your series up till now. Fantastic. I grew up with a dad that owned a 172M and flew everywhere with him (South Australia) cheers mate
I miss flying. I grew up on an airport flying my dads cessna 120 and cherokee 140. Just lost him in january. Your videos are really inspiring me to get back in the air.
I also lost my dad recently so I understand what you're going through. But for me flying is a great way for me to feel close to him again. I used to go every weekend in our maule m 4. I still remember the first time I flew. I was about 12 or so. There's no way the FAA would let it happen now. Chances are theyd hang you for it now but I was just about ready to solo before my first lesson at 14 with a instructor lol.
SouthJerseySound sounds familiar. I first took the controls when I was 8 (didn't learn rudder till later because I couldn't reach the pedals). Flying with my dad make up some I'd the most purely joyful memories I have.
What makes me happy is that you are well aware about how lucky you are enjoying your life with your planes and your friends. I cannot fly anymore but you make my days guys. Cheers from France lucky lucky guys👋👋👋
I love that draco sounds like a c130 landing. Great videos as always. You and the rest of the cowboys have really stoked the aviation fire that ive had since I was a kid. Cant wait to start flying
God I miss Oshkosh. Growing up, my father and I flew our PA 20 Pacer to the air show many times. I’ll never forget camping out under the wing of the plane for a week and going nuts over all the airplanes that assemble there. If I had the money, I’d haul the old girl out of mothballs and fly her back again. I know my sons would love it just like I did. Great series, bringing back a lot of good memories man!
Living vicariously through your adventures as I nurse a broken/dislocated knee. Keep the vids coming. You're helping keep my spirits up. Who needs vicodin when I have the flying cowboys to keep my mind off the pain. Fly safe boys.
Your videos are awesome! I wish I was there with you. At least you give me pleasant dreams. My 1st lessons and 1st solo was in an 85hp Aeronca Champ on a cinder gravel runway at 6200' elevation. I was 18 and have not lost my love for aviation.
Fantastic to see you at Oshkosh. Oshkosh is a great place every year but you guys really were the icing on the cake. Thank you for the show and hope to see you there in 2019 !!!!!!!!!
You made it ! loved the farm strip place so full of character,these low and slows get better and better,the comraderie of the STOL family is something else and every stretch of the flight is an adventure,I can see now Trent why you did not want to miss this trip,we all love Oshkosh and enjoy every second of your flying adventures,now the fun begins,they will all love 'Dracula' when it gives its demonstration,its a monster which showed when you were all sitting underneath it,have a great time guys.
Hey Trent, when you guys tie your planes down, what do you tie them to? A little tip a bunch of people from burning man have figured out recently: use big lag bolts (at least 1' long) with a piece of chain on the end and an impact driver to put them in and out. Much easier than pounding anything into the ground.
Really is fun seeing all these local airports to me (I currently fly out of KMSN), got started learning to fly at New Holstein (8D1) and finished up at Oshkosh!
The SKY used to be the limit take a look at his channel,its got a ton of information on the build and how he engineered the changes. You won't be disappointed and the video quality is pretty good too.
The SKY used to be the limit yeah Trent is a true pro. But I have to say Mike's videos and editing gets a lot better as he goes along.the later vids are much better to watch in my opinion.
Trent, I’ve been following all six days and for s year or two. It has been a blast watching from Oklahoma. Enjoy Airventure 2018 at KOSH. You guys are the best.
Man, need to get a KitFox down to South Africa... seems like we can have a lot of fun in this wilderness! Well done Trent, your trip to Oshkosh looks like "Funtastic"... always wanted to go to Oshkosh, but to get there the way you guys did, it has to be "1st prize" man!! Enjoy the show and please let us, the ones that could not make it, have some of your great videos of the show!
I was looking forward to seeing new Holstein airport. We landed there 25 years ago on the way to KOSH. On arrival, 6 kids were mowing the grass runway with lawnmowers and we thought management was being hard on summer employees. It turned-out the New Tecumseth engine plan was still in America at the time and they were testing engines. The good old days.
Hey Trent! Recently started watching your videos, I fly a 737 for a living and its really nice to see the other (more fun) side of aviation. Makes me want to refresh my single engine :D Keep em coming! Greetings from Sweden!
Hi Dee Anna, not sure where you are located but at least in europe under EASA regulations you need a valid single engine rating. Doesn't matter if you hold a ppl/cpl/atpl. You have to refresh it every 2 years. :)
Newbeach I'm in the USA. I'm so intrigued by aviation. Last month, I took a discovery flight in a Piper, and then signed up for a real lesson where I got to handle the flight controls a lot more and run through checklists. The instructor also did some stalls so I could see what that felt like. I'm mulling over continuing, but I'm not sure I can justify the expense for a hobby, or spare the time needed to become proficient.
This is my first. video on planes I have seen l love planes it all started when I was given the opportunity to fly with my uncle. That what it all took I am learning about planes ✈️.
If you like this video then discovering the Flying Cowboys as a group is going cause you to binge watch their other TH-cam videos. From Trent (he got me hooked) to Mike's truly custom Draco built (wow the engineering and one off parts are so fun to see), Cory, Project Kit Fox and the entire group. I subscribe to them all! So many cool videos and adventures to follow...
Really enjoyed tagging along on your trip to kosh. Great videos, thanks for all your hard work putting them together. Hope to catch up with you later this week.PEACE
Man, really wish you could have made it to New Holstein, I live just a couple of miles from the Airport. Safe flying and I hope you have a blast at Oshkosh.
Absolutely love these videos, watching this kind of flying and the fun you guys have is amazing! . Keep the videos coming! maybe some day i'll get to live this dream :)
OUTSTANDING! Watched all of your postings and enjoyed each and every one! What a great bunch of guys you have as friends and all of the aircraft are so unique. Hope you will be filming more of your stay there.
Gotta hand it too you- well done, Trent! Solid work, and, flying & hanging with your peeps. Still amazed with the quality of your footage, it flows & it even feels like we're flying wing man. Sort of disappointed with the pre- Oshkosh STOL fly in miss, but, can't believe they were flying either... Really appreciate your editing on the trip, it feels like we're only a day behind you.
Love the adventure!!! If you have time go into the Delta Hawk booth and see what they are getting excited about in their postings. I'm kicking myself for not being there. Thanks.
Hey Trent awesome video what a great week. I loved it when you showed the ADSB traffic going into KOSH we we’re smack in the middle of that hornets nest. I laughed out loud when you said that is enough traffic to give anyone anxiety such a true statement 🤓 then I saw our N number 224EC 😳 so cool to see. Most traffic I’ve ever seen at KOSH Ya’ll did a great job flying in the show one of my favorite parts. 👍
Amazing the build work Mike has done on that Wilga. I checked out his channel...that guy is on it. In terms of car, that guy is basically flying around a heavily modified Mclaren P1...it's already one of the best, he made it way cooler. If anything though, whether its a 65k Kitfox or a million+ dollar monster...they still fly side by side and get ya to Osh Kosh. Awesome vids man....been watching every day.
Your ADS-B reminds me of mine during the 2017 eclipse in Oregon. I called for VFR flight following ... haha ... that wasn't happening! Hope you are having a great time at Oshkosh. :)
All of you guys could have piled into Draco, and landed in the parking lot at the coffee shop, no need to take ground transportation. That thing is awesome!!
5:00 AM at my company, hectic day ahead.....BUT feeling great, starting my day with Trent Palmer videos ! You rock bro ! Have a great week !
What a great day, even with the bad weather, better day than getting up for another day of work to pay bills. Enjoy every minute of it and keep posting videos. Thanks for sharing.
This is the only youtube channel I watch where I smile from the start till the finish.. fantastic uploads !!
Tony J
Tony ....you are soooooooo right
Cheers from france
The brotherhood that you guys exhibit is just amazing!

Just finished watching your series up till now. Fantastic. I grew up with a dad that owned a 172M and flew everywhere with him (South Australia) cheers mate
I miss flying. I grew up on an airport flying my dads cessna 120 and cherokee 140. Just lost him in january. Your videos are really inspiring me to get back in the air.
Do R/C! Sorry about your lost :)
Nathan Schichtel oh. Thank you. He lived a very full life made it to 88 but it was still hard.
Get back in the air my friend. Its magic.
I also lost my dad recently so I understand what you're going through. But for me flying is a great way for me to feel close to him again. I used to go every weekend in our maule m 4.

@Trent Palmer ...you have a real good feel for taking airplane videos ... love the edits and the angles . BEE-YOU-T-FOOL.
What makes me happy is that you are well aware about how lucky you are enjoying your life with your planes and your friends.
I cannot fly anymore but you make my days guys.
Cheers from France lucky lucky guys👋👋👋
I love that draco sounds like a c130 landing. Great videos as always. You and the rest of the cowboys have really stoked the aviation fire that ive had since I was a kid. Cant wait to start flying
Flying in cloudy weather truly is beautiful!
At least the ultralight corral has a proper collection of cowboys! Glad to see you made it to KOSH!
God I miss Oshkosh. Growing up, my father and I flew our PA 20 Pacer to the air show many times.

Thanks for taking time to produce when you'd rather be seeing the field of planes!
Very cool !!
That DRACO is one IMPRESSIVE Aircraft....Love the unusual design!
So wish I was there.
Fantastic video series Trent ... loved being part of your whole adventure.
Wow. What a cool adventure. Low and Slow. The only way to see the country. Glad you made it safe. Enjoy Oshkosh.
DRACOOOOO, what a beast and what a humble man!
i wouldn't worry about your engine rating, it's all about the fun you have on your channel that us subs love! we're all voting for ya anyway haha
Oshkosh is now on my bucket list!
Nice, Denver Bronco blankets while you wait. Glad you Cowboys made it there safe and sound. Looking forward to the week at Oshkosh via Trent vlog...
Good stuff Trent! Love the drone shots of the group! The views you can't see ANY other way! Thanks!
Your videos are awesome! I wish I was there with you. At least you give me pleasant dreams. My 1st lessons and 1st solo was in an 85hp Aeronca Champ on a cinder gravel runway at 6200' elevation. I was 18 and have not lost my love for aviation.
Excellent camera work. You keep it interesting. Make's all of us feel like we're with you. One of these days I have to get up to Oshkosh.
Fantastic to see you at Oshkosh. Oshkosh is a great place every year but you guys really were the icing on the cake. Thank you for the show and hope to see you there in 2019 !!!!!!!!!
I'm living vicariously thru you guys right now, wish I could be there and flying my own machine in the process. Great series, loving it!
You made it ! loved the farm strip place so full of character,these low and slows get better and better,the comraderie of the STOL family is something else and every stretch of the flight is an adventure,I can see now Trent why you did not want to miss this trip,we all love Oshkosh and enjoy every second of your flying adventures,now the fun begins,they will all love 'Dracula' when it gives its demonstration,its a monster which showed when you were all sitting underneath it,have a great time guys.
This has gotta be the coolest channel on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing!
I dont think Ive been emotionally ready for these low and slow videos.. seriously, the dream
Rory Springthorpe
Rory........I felt the same.
Cheers from France.👋
Can't begin to imagine how buzzed you are being there with that group!! HAVE FUN YAWL!!
That was a great video. Never really had the urge to think about getting my tail wheel endorsement till I started watching. Well done sir.

Really is fun seeing all these local airports to me (I currently fly out of KMSN), got started learning to fly at New Holstein (8D1) and finished up at Oshkosh!
Looking foward to a *DRACO Special* (including some performance specs :-))
The SKY used to be the limit take a look at his channel,its got a ton of information on the build and how he engineered the changes. You won't be disappointed and the video quality is pretty good too.
SouthJerseySound THX M8 I allready checked it out.
Still Trent has a unique Style of capturing it.
This plane looks YUUUGEEEE
The SKY used to be the limit yeah Trent is a true pro. But I have to say Mike's videos and editing gets a lot better as he goes along.the later vids are much better to watch in my opinion.

Hi Trent.
I wish you had some FISK approach footage in there. It was mega crazy this year.
Have fun and be safe.
So cool. I'm absolutely fascinated by you guys and what you're doing.
You're videos are helping me convince the wife. Soon I'll be in the air as well. Thanks for the posts, enjoying them a lot! Keep it up!
Awesome as always. The video quality is beyond
Man, need to get a KitFox down to South Africa... seems like we can have a lot of fun in this wilderness! Well done Trent, your trip to Oshkosh looks like "Funtastic"... always wanted to go to Oshkosh, but to get there the way you guys did, it has to be "1st prize" man!! Enjoy the show and please let us, the ones that could not make it, have some of your great videos of the show!
I'm excited for you. Heck I'm just excited period! Thanks for sharing the experience. Maybe someday...
dude I have LOVED this vlog series. Thanks so much.
Great meeting you at Oskosh. You're a class act. Keep the videos coming, they are awesome!
OMFG! My favorite video. 2018. That year a turboprop landed on the ultralight field.
Saw the Track on the taxiway while working at Oshkosh. Looks amazing, have to make it down to the ultralight field to see it. Welcome to Oshkosh!
This is by far the best group of videos you've put together....huge thanks for sharing!!

Hey Trent! Recently started watching your videos, I fly a 737 for a living and its really nice to see the other (more fun) side of aviation. Makes me want to refresh my single engine :D Keep em coming! Greetings from Sweden!
Newbeach can you just go fly a single engine with an ATPL or do you have to take additional training?
Hi Dee Anna, not sure where you are located but at least in europe under EASA regulations you need a valid single engine rating. Doesn't matter if you hold a ppl/cpl/atpl. You have to refresh it every 2 years. :)

That Draco is sexy! And comparing it to the size of the carbon cub! Wow! Great vid Trent
Man, really wish you could have made it to New Holstein, I live just a couple of miles from the Airport. Safe flying and I hope you have a blast at Oshkosh.

Awesome Trent, your about to have the most fun an adult can have. thank again for doing these video's for us. Dang I'm jealous
That Wilga! I love that plane!
Amazing the build work Mike has done on that Wilga. I checked out his channel...that guy is on it.

Great videos Trent , keep it up please.
Your ADS-B reminds me of mine during the 2017 eclipse in Oregon. I called for VFR flight following ... haha ... that wasn't happening! Hope you are having a great time at Oshkosh. :)
Awesome video as always!! Have fun at airventure!!!
I saw you last night in the distance competition, pretty cool!
I'm really hoping that there's going to be some footage of that Yamaha powered plane in the competition!
