17:18 Time for the trip home - บันเทิง
1968, early in the morning, I heard this low pitch rumbling noise came over the house. I ran over to the window and saw a PT-17 with that paint scheme dusting the corn crops that lined both sides of a very long drive way we had. It was that very moment when I fell in love with aviation. I was 4 years old then. Thank you Trent for bringing me back to that moment.
Very cool
My dad was a crop duster! He loved it! We had a Staggerwing back home on the ranch...it was awesome. I always tell folks that I had the best childhood a kid could have- great big Montana ranch and flying with dad (I was 4 days old when he took me up for my first flight..just me and him. I guess i puked all over him, but ...that was the only time I got air sick! Lol)
I was about 8 years old back in 1972. when I had seen two f-4 phantoms at about 150-ft off the ground. Fly over our field. He had only seen them for a few seconds before they were out of sight. That was the day I fell in love with aviation.
As someone who grew up on an airfield with a hangar that had both a P-47 and a P-51, I was beyond thrilled to watch someone fulfill a childhood dream. Thank you so much, Trent for letting us come along and capture someone’s lifelong dream so meaningfully. I couldn’t help but wipe away a tear or two watching him pull off into the open sky. This is why we all keep coming back. What an experience!
As far as the weather goes over mountains. My dad always had a saying, “it’s always better to be on the ground wishing you were flying than flying wishing you were on the ground.”
Made that mistake on my IFR checkride, took off in a gap in a thunderstorm, and didn't notice the gap was closed until we were in the air.
HA! That’s me taxiing behind the kid on the bike at 3:32- I saw Trent filming and wondered if I would be back there.
I looked! nice!
Well that just left me with a huge smile on my face. In these weird times we live in, who could ask for more. Thanks Trent.
Fun to see people still able to make the best of times!
Man does this bring back memories. My father learned to fly in one of these in 1943. Went on to fly P-51's with the 363 Fighter Reconnaissance Group 44-45. In 1956 he and a friend bought a Stearman . The sound of that radial and the smell of the fabric dope when they were recovering the plane has never been forgotten. Cool.
sportclay1 My dad also learned to fly on a Stearman in Alabama where he met my mother. He flew 250 combat hours in a P-51.
@@tomdavison9107 If your father is still around, thank him for his service for me. My father is still living going to be 99 in Oct. Was still flying at 85 (gliders) when he called it quits.
sportclay1 Thanks very much, but he passed away at age 95. He stayed in the Air Force and retired as a Lt Col. After he got out he became an instructor and corporate pilot flying out of Teterboro NJ. until he retired for good. Tell your dad God Bless, it’s possible they both crossed paths at some point.
sportclay1 Please let your dad know that we all here thank him for his service and here’s hoping for him making the big “100”. He’s a charter member of the greatest generation.
Trent Palmer y’all better take that to every air show and make people happy I wish I got to that one more time
I'm a disabled vet, with an amputation above my left knee getting my light sport. Thank you Trent
That is inspiration to us all. Thanks for your service, from one vet to another. Someday I'll get my light sport license, someday.
Congrats from EU, two weeks ago I get my LAPL licence. Happy flying.
@@arizonamisfits202 Do it, dont wait. I was dreamin about it 23yrs and two yrs training. I have some medical issues and EASA give me chance to get sport license and there was my friend who tell me to try again after years of struggling to get medical, I made last attempt. And I made success. Unfortunately, my friend, firefighter die with his colleague at training session under the helicopter, few meters from our club. I finish it also to remembering him. It is also his license in my heart.
The Kelloggs no time like the present
Same llost a lung and watching his videos help me decide to change my life and learn to fly!!!!!
GREAT! epsiode @Trent Palmer what a fun experience capturing Kevin's Stearman adventure. You do have a gift. Keep using it. Thank you for all that you do.
Your plane is gonna be in the new Microsoft flight sim. Big Tire Productions are making a Kitfox addon and They have the #FreedomFox as part of it.
Robert Langdale yep! It’s true
Yeah if you bought it for xplane you get it for free or discounted in mfs
Someone mentioned this on FB and Trent said he was disappointed how the airplane handled and a bit surprised that they never reached out to him. He said he is working with someone to release a much more realistic Freedomfox.
Has anyone been able to find Trent's runway on FS2020?
@John Kallie Saving for pc upgrades. As soon as I'm able to run mfs2020 I'l try and find it.
The Boeing Stearman is one of my all time favorite airplanes.
I grew up around one. Such a Beautiful plane to look at, hear, and experience.
Trent, Kevin, and Richard McSpadden discussing the weather and the go/no go decision among 3 seasoned pilots--- "A man's got to know his limitations." Dirty Harry. The times that I decided on the conservative side I usually felt pretty good about not going and the tension was immediately removed. On the occasions that I did decide to go after debating with myself I sometimes regretted making that decision and sometimes things got a bit iffy. My goal was always to have a routine, boring flight with little or no excitement. Stinson guy.
I don't know if the conversation will ever be relevant to me in terms of aviation, but it's applicable in many areas of life. Something about McSpadden's manner of speech, I could listen to him talk all day lol.
That would be a seminar right there!
Break the chain!
@@jcims Well, you know McSpadden's got quite an impressive background--Air Force F-15 pilot; headed up the Thunderbirds in the early 2000's; and currently heading up AOPA's Air Safety Foundation. Plus a long time GA pilot flying his family's Navion. Now I think he's branched out into back country flying in a Cessna 180/185.
Wow, one of my favorite videos in a long time! I stopped the video for a while after Smiley Creek and fired up the new FS2020 to explore the area. The visuals are so close to real life! And then the Stearman ... Wow, what a beauty!
“Man, what’s that?!”
“Oh, I hit a tree, ya like 8 months ago”
😂 who else rolled?
It happens. The cat is a sturdy old bird, I've got a few dings from fence posts on mine.
Casually: "I hit a tree... in May..." 😂 You guys are awesome! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I took a ride in a waco biplane over the sawtooth mountains when I was a kid... one of the best experiences of my life.
Mine wasn’t a Waco but still an open cockpit biplane. Nice way to travel. Also over flat farmland but the pilot made it interesting with basic aerobatics. He flew so smooth it was like watching a video. Love biplanes!
One of my favorite videos you’ve done. Seeing someone achieve their dreams and their joy in doing so. How could you not want to see that. Thx for sharing as always
Such an awesome video as always! I grew up 2 doors down from Gary and we rode motorcycles and joked around a lot as kids. I was surprised to see him on the video and glad to know you were in good company with great people as usual. My son is a student pilot and you are a huge inspiration. Keep doing what you’re doing! God bless
Yeah, I couldn’t relax during that 10-15 minute stretch either especially with a trike and small tires. 😳 Amazing video Trent!
Stearman, a fabulous aircraft. I used to have a large poster of one in my shack (radio room) and appreciated it every day I went in there. Great to see Quinn so passionate about it/aviation, plus a big up to Trent for being the wingman.
Stunning footage and engaging edit as always! In addition to your talent, I gotta say I'm amazed by the sheer effort you put into putting these together, and thank you for it!
My dad learned to fly in the Army Air Corps in a PT-17 and went on to fly a P-38. After WWII ended he went to college in engineering via the GI bill. He missed flying so much that he bought a pair of Travel Airs (Travel Air Manufacturing Company was founded by Clyde Cessna, Walter Beech, and Lloyd Stearman....HOW COOL is that?), and did Ag-aviation. Having twin engine, complex, and other ratings (as well as an A&E cert.) he ended up flying corporate in a King Air, but to the day he died, his one true a/c love was the PT-17 Stearman (upgraded with a P&W R985 450HP, and the addition of upper-wing ailerons). When I hear one, I can't seem to help but get a lump in my throat, quickly followed by a warm smile on my face and in my heart. Thanks for posting this video Trent!
Best 21+ min. Of my day sofar. Great vid. The way way you told that story was excellent 👌. Felt emotionally connected for some reason. Thanks for the content dude! 🤘
This is one of the best videos Trent has ever made
It’s just makes you smile doesn’t it!!!!!!!
Love seeing Richard. Love seeing his AOPA videos! Always IMSAFE and PAVE for YOU and YOUR aircraft. Great video as always Trent!
Excellent video. Brought tears to my eyes to watch Kevin realize his boyhood dream!! Well done Trent!
This was a great vlog. I was reunited with my childhood Stearman in 2017. It’s an amazing airplane. Never gets old and is always teaching me patience and to stay ahead of her! They didn’t call her the “pilot maker” for no reason! Keep the videos coming, it’s great fun and education. Thx.
I didn't realize when I picked this video it was one of yours. I cued in on the PT-17. I have the RC version of that one too. One of my favorites to fly! Gotta love a bi-plane!
Morning Trent, this would have to be the best video I’ve watched of yours, ( except for the ad) very well put together. And very informative. There is nothing worse than “get there itis “ it’s caused more accidents than most things. Well thought out and editing job. Thank you Wiz
That was enjoyable Trent.
Dad use to do crop-dusting in Boeing Stearman's after WWII, he said there are two kinds of Stearman pilots... those that have ground looped a Stearman and those that will... I wonder how well Quinn will fair.
i will always have a smile on my face watching you guys have fun, but Ty's bubbliness is downright contagious.
I was once in the plane with a passenger already to go when I looked up at the sky which had suddenly changed from placid to looking real ugly. Let go back in for a cuppa tea I said. Five minutes later the airfield had stopped all flying except for those Guys 'n Gals up there racing to get back down safely in the now torrential rain and gusty conditions. Being a "Born again Coward" can be the way to go. Regards, Jim in NI UK
I got a ride in one of those over Key West for my 50th. Best gift ever. Highly recommend of you ever get down that way.
I remember sitting with my Dad watching crop dusting on our farm. All the planes then were Stearmans . I never got into flying but am still fascinated by it . They landed in our pasture for fuel and product ,very up close and personal. Just seeing one of those planes brings it all back . At 73 , a great memory . Thanks for the video .
Thank you for the amazing adventures you show us Trent. Can’t get enough of your channel . Can’t wait to start flying myself one day. You are the man, and keep the flying going man.
My god your editing is outstanding, truly amazing thank you for making these videos!!
Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure w us Trent! Ima huge fan sir! Keep up the good work and stay safe up there!!
One of the guys I just finished building his house gas a stearman. Once the house and hanger was finished he brought the plane down and took me for a ride. Definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life that I will never forget.
Thanks Trent! Awesome! So excited for this new journey!
Tim McCoy wife's account
Loved this. Spent all my aviation life in the whole area covered. My first open cockpit
ride was Steve Wolf's travel air. Pendelton Or. 1975..
Congratulations Kevin Quinn! There's something really special about vintage aircraft and wire braced biplanes in particular have always fascinated me. They really bring you back to the time of "wooden planes and iron men" (even though the Stearman has a steel fuselage). I hope we end up seeing the Stearman in more videos! Is Kevin going to try any off airport landings in it?
Really enjoy your stuff! I'm a flight instructor based in Walla Walla, so I love seeing you tour my local airports!
Beautiful airplane! Congratulations to Kevin. Stellar photography. Thanks for sharing!
This was probably one of the best videos you’ve made!
This video was fantastic. Very enjoyable to see a new purchase like this. Beautiful country also. Thanks Guys!
I'm so happy to have found you. I'm making it my goal to live on the road overlanding the jeep. After that life comes to a close, kit plans sounds like an amazing next adventure life. Thank you for your inspiration! You are pushing me to create better films for myself, keep em coming trent! ❤
the passion in his voice when he is talking about the stearman is really inspiring, a true passion/love for aviation!
besides that all of trents videos make me want to get into general aviation. just sad that there is a lot less of a community here in europe (netherlands) as far as i am noticing anyway.
Beautifully shot and edited. Powerful visuals which told a wonderful story and perfectly match with music.
Congratulations to Kevin on his new low and slow plane! Keeping Aviation history alive is so cool 😎. Nice job Trent with the video.
What a video! Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Trent - your approach is second to none. And to see Quinn achieve his dream was inspiring to say the least. If this doesn’t fire you up and motivate you to live the dream I don’t know what will.
One of your best videos yet. Thanks for all the time you put into your videos. Your one of the reasons I have gotten into Aviation and I am loving every minute of it.
Wonderful videography and choice in background music ! Awesome stuff Trent !
So cool watching someone experience a stearman for the first time. Enjoy it! They're like nothing else, miss ours everyday.
How exciting is that! I'm really happy for Kevin! Thanks for the trip!
keep up the great video s, you really capture the feeling and present it well.
Nice piece Trent. I like all the change-ups in your VLOGs - keep on !
This is so awesome. All of it. The Stearman, the terrain, the pilot safety, the comradery, the videography...awesome.
Your video brought back fond memories. I rode from Wichita Falls, TX to Calgary, Canada in a Stearman in my mom’s lap when I was 18 months old. Then when was 8 years old my dad started dusting in a Stearman he bought. One day when I was nine or ten he gave me a ride in his lap in the Stearman Duster. In my 59 years as a active pilot, I have never taken the opportunity to fly one, which I regret.
Another great video Trent. Quinn's excitement, nervousness, and joy was captured very well by you and it is infectious. (Maybe that's not quite the right word during these times, but you get what I mean.)
What an awesome experience and airplane! Thanks for sharing! Fly safe.
Outstanding aerial adventure! Thanks for sharing Trent.
Awesome video! Your hesitation on leaving in questionable weather was so true life --- my dad always said "Know your limitations, and do not exceed them" Loved watching the Stearman, thanks for sharing!
The cinematography, amazing airplane, Quinns passion and excitement... So much to love here!
Quinn is one of thosrs guys that Just makes you smile!! You just gotta like hin and respect him all of these guys!!!
Totally awesome! Congratulations on the new arrival!!
That was very cool to be apart of. I live in Oregon, I would have loved to see you guys. Exciting for all of us to watch.
Good safety points made, sketch weather, get there itis and peer pressure are things that turn that gray area black. Always better to be on the ground wishing to be in the air than in the air wishing to be on the ground.
Great video and I am sure he will love that plane.
Love this vid, so much fun to see him pushing his comfort level and living the dream!
Great work buddy! Love you vids and the vibe that you find in them! Wish i could fly one day!
So cool to see Richard in this clip. What an amazing legacy he leaves behind.
This was a great one dude. Great editing. Great Music. Keep it rocking!
Only open cockpit biplane I have ever ridden in and flown once was a custom build Baby Lakes. What fun!
Your videos are a constant reminder of how good we have things. Even with the coof going round, we live in such a beautiful place. In a day you can go from the ocean, to redwood rain forests, to drylake desert, to rocky snowpeaks, and back to open grassy planes.
oh and that was one of the smoothest sponsor segues I've ever heard, but I get life insurance from my credit union, if I ever need more I added them to my random saved links folder.
Really enjoyed this video guys! Thanks for sharing
Such a great story - and video. Thanks, guys!
What a purchase! I flew in a Stearman once(as a passenger) and had a stupid smile on my face the whole flight. Keep that history alive! Thank you.
Watched this video a year late. All I can say is how awesome it is. Trent's film making talent combined with beautiful scenery and legendary airplanes makes me realize how fortunate we are to be apart of the best community - AVIATION! I still smile every time I watch your intro. Rock on, Trent!
Thanks man!
Wow the adventures you guys go on man it's just amazing thanks for the videos...✌
Wow, one of your best looking videos to date. Goosebump shots. Great content man!
My first flight in a small aircraft was in a PT 76 Stearman. I was in Virginia Beach, VA playing bagpipes for some friends' wedding and saw that the Military Aviation Museum was like 30 minutes away. I wanted to see the DeHavilland Mosquito FB Mk. VI there (tail number KA114) and decided to go up in the Stearman they had puttering around but there was a twist: I actually wore my kilt up there for the flight. Needless to say, I definitely felt the breeze between the knees!
Sammy Mason made those planes real for me, Trent and Kevin.
What a privilege!
Keep up the appreciation for life!
Great trip Trent. Thanks for sharing this with everyone. Shalom
I really enjoy your shows, Mr. Trent!
Omg! Your cinematography is 👌👌👌
welcome to trent palmer's channel
Seriously, unreal. I’ve never seen better in all of aviation!
This is great excitement...I flew the venerable Canadian Harvard MK. IV in the RCAF during the 60's....nothing like the sound of a radial engine and the feel of these kinds of aircraft to stir the blood!
Awesome video Trent - thank you !!
There's nothing like the sound of a radial engine! Congrats on your new purchase!
Awesome Trent! Thanks for taking us along!
Great video and, as usual, nice way to put a story together. But the early-morning footage of that Stearman in close formation. Man, that was something else. Thanks a lot for and keep it up.
"Big planes are sketch" is exactly how I felt when changing from a 172 to a Nanchang. It was good to see Jared in the video, he taught me to fly the Nanchang and is a wonderful instructor. Great video, I know exactly how you feel Kevin!
So stinkin' awesome! Great video & reflection of a dream of mine too. Great job as always!
Hey Trent, thanks for being so nice to myself and my family at smiley creek. I mentioned then that I might do my fixed wing add on and tail wheel after my check ride here in about a week and a half. After meeting you and talking to one of his pilot friends, my dad thinks he wants to get his ppl and document it.
Jared is my CFI/mentor/boss at times, never a dull moment hanging around him! He is an absolute madman in the best way possible!
Tks for the flying Trent. That's cool stuff
What an enjoyable video.....thanks.....I look forward to the next one!
WOW...WTG Kevin...bute of a plane...love the old biplane warbirds...Trent, some really great video of the journey...loved the peel off when Kevin headed home...
Amazing footage! Thanks for sharing!
What a Awesome video Trent! I would have been so pumped on that trip!!! Kevin congratulations brother so Awesome! EPIC!!
YEESSSSS!
This is my backyard for flying Blackhawks! The huckleberry shake is the best there at Smiley Creek Lodge. If you’re looking for another great breakfast stop, try Sulfur Creek east of Cascade. $25 if you get breakfast $10 if you don’t haha.
Beautiful video Trent! Glad to see you having fun with friends and doing what you love.
Yep the Stearman is an icon. So many of them flying air shows it’s unforgettable. I loved the turbo prop and the tree striking character that rolled out of it also. Great content, keep it up 👍🏻
Beautiful aircraft - what a childhood dream come true. Trent, thanks for bringing us along.
