Hey guys, just a heads up. Any replies you get from "me" talking about winning a prize are from a fake account. Please don't fall for them! Mine will always have a verified check mark next to my name.
Those turkeys are doing it on multiple pages. They pick ones you watch a lot, which sort of makes it suspicious when you get that same message about “prizes” on several different names.
Just about EVERY TH-cam channel I subscribe to has had scammers like this...... ... probably Russians.
Would you ever think about doing a drawing or raffle to become your wingman for a day? Let me know!
Hey Trent they just sent me a message to pick up a gift from you on telegram fyi
Yeah it took me a min to figure out what telegram was.
The word “cinematic” is not an overstatement, Trent. Your drone footage is so entertaining. Your friends must love having themselves “immortalized”.
Im so in agreemdnt I got a big 65 inch color screen for now connect to my PC and high bandwidth data BUT Im building a home cinema and sure cant wait to play this!!!!
Uhhh… I think you meant to say that “‘cinematic’ IS an understatement”.
@@phdtobe Nope. I knew it would annoy you.🤣😂
In consideration of your kind words, I fixed it for you at no charge.

World class content. Great stuff, Trent!
Cheers from AOPA's Air Safety Institute!
Oh man, you guys are here!
As a former volunteer firefighter from So Cal with some wildland experience, I can tell you that you are spot on. Although it was impossible to make his place 100% "fire safe" he did the basics which allowed firefighters to put up a good fight to save his home. Fire fighters often have to assess whether they can save a home or not, simply based on how well the property owner kept up with maintaining a "defensible space". Thanks for posting this video. It is a great reminder that saving homes begins with preparations long before a fire ever occurs.
Nope. If he actually wanted to safeguard his house, he wouldn’t build it right under dry Timbers in areas that burn regularly.
No trees or ground debris for 200 ft near any structure
"I'm like Rooster, I'm running late" made me giggle. I love your drone footage, I so wish I could add that depth to my flying videos.
Giles your videos are fine
Hi @@whisperingeagle, thank you. I suppose I just aspire to create better content but just don't know how. Its always good to stretch yourself.
@@GolfFoxtrot22 lol giles man it hasnt been too flyable with my soaring trike lately. These are some pretty cool taildragger bush planes near me. Actually my wife likes
To fly so ive been thinkin of buying one of these .i sold my2 place airborne trike so i can't take here up. But love my soaring trike. I havnt been too keen on doing videos, editing takes alott of time . Besides the last beautiful sunset up the river flight i took i thought i had really good footage but all i had was three snapshots of me turning the camera on🤧. Had in picture mode all 3 go pros.
@@whisperingeagle it's been a bit on and off flyable in the UK as well. Its almost like winter is the best time to fly. What Bush aircraft would you want?
@@GolfFoxtrot22 well ive been researching them all and anything id buy would be budget used and i find a few good one on the market..
I like the quality of the carbon cub ss. But the price is very lofty.
The kitfox 7 and rans s7 have been on my list.
But i think the super stoll offers a lott of plane with slats and large flaps. And theirs some good ones for sale.
I have a challenger 2 but with my arthritis itsvery difficult for me to get in it. So iam gonna take my time and look for a great deal
The beautiful thing about fire is that it renews. The old is burned away, but from the ashes new growth can come forward. It will be different but just as beautiful.
Trent your FPV was an absolute thrill. When I fly I never go off airport and stay 1k away from everything but it’s always a thrill to leave the earth behind. A little closer to heaven. 👍
Trent, I am absolutely amazed with every video you post. Your talent in making these videos, from the subject, editing, music, etc., is top notch sir. I am certain I don't stand alone in saying this. I look forward to every production you come out with and thank you for sharing your videos!!
Thanks Allen 🙏🏻
@@TrentonPalmer as others here have said, you need a smoker for the freedom fox, to see wind direction and drift like what the acrobatic and ag sprayers (crop dusters) use.
You are so talented in aerial videography. Love all your videos and the way you share aviation! Thank you!!
A big THANK YOU to USFS and local, state fire fighters. You did a great job.
That was great drone video, best I have ever seen.
The chase sequence passing over FreedomFox right as he lands by the small pond - pretty spectacular fpv shot
More epic drone work. I am in Florida and April is our fire month (give or take). This year, it came right up to my friend's back yard. Three yrs ago, it nearly overtook the horse rescue I volunteered at. Thank God for our first responders, fire and rescue!
Trent, those FPV shots are amazing. And Bo is lookin great, and has a lot to be thankful for. Great vid.
What a humble guy, something so devastating and frightening and he still manages to find the positives in the situation. Inspiration 🙏
As a volunteer firefighter for 30 years that's what we do. I'm glad your friend was safe and that no firefighters were injured. Hope to get back in the air soon. As always amazing footage keep them coming.
I flew with the guys from fire aviation in Siberia, the AN-2 is a very slow plane and when the fire is extinguished, you can drop the troops immediately
One of your best yet, Trent! So glad your friend survived the fire. You have some of the best flying content out here. Be safe. Keep flying and posting.
I don't know how many times I've watch your equipment fly around Bo but It is mesmerizing ! Thank you! One of you Best videoing!
This shows why its so important to have defensible space. Trees right up next to the buildings is never a good idea.
Fire fighters really need to be appreciated. They do so much to help keep us safe, and doing what they do isn't what most people would call safe. Both fighting house/other building fire, and fighting forest fires, those men and women do great work. I recently had a forest fire just a few miles from my house. The Fire Department had it taken care of before the wind carried the smoke toward my direction. We didn't even know it was happening until they had already dealt with it. It's nice living out in the wilderness surrounded by state forest, but it does come with it's share of hazards.
There’s no “under-appreciation” of firefighters. It’s pretty much universally accepted that they do important work.
@@NashCreekIndustries Generally yes. At least among reasonable people. Unfortunately, there are many people who don't respect the the job that firefighters do. Having known a volunteer firefighter + EMT, he was often talking about people telling him or his boss off for not putting the fire out faster, or not saving that one thing, or for breaking the houses windows, or for wetting the walls of the house and soaking the insulation in the attic to prevent hidden embers from reigniting the fire. So In my experience, fire fighters really aren't always appreciated, even by people who they are helping.
It always amazes me how much disrespect firefighters receive.
“That season” isn’t just around the corner, it’s here! I’ve already been called out to several fires in New Mexico
This is by far some of your best work! I could watch you two fly in that valley all day!
Love the FPV footage! I always love it when drones chase other drones & RC planes, but it is that much cooler when you are chasing a full sized plane!
Folks, Trent Palmer, Hear me please. My first comment here Trent. On the wildfire stuff. Whomever may live or have property that is in in their control in the places like this video shows here with all the unnecessary overgrown trees and shrubbery on their land. I would highly recommend you do everything you can and get rid of all this dead timber/shrubbery on your property. Make good firebreak lines for your area and mow the rest of the stuff down to 1/4 inch height. Great aviation videos Trent thank you I appreciate them and thank you for hearing me. E :)
I loved every single bit of this video, such amazing places that you are able to fly through. Glad that property was saved from the fire. Cheers Trent!!
Wonderful Presentation of Life Stories Through Aviation!
Team Palmer for the Win!
WOW!! That fire must've been HUGE! Being that I was born & raised on the east coast, these kinds of fires are just incomprehensible to us out here. I've learned more about western fires the past 5 years watching all my aviation TH-camrs than at any point in my life! I did spend a couple years in Phoenix, and a few months in Livermore, CA, but hard to get concrete and asphalt to burn, so I never saw any in person. Glad Bo's situation didn't end up worse than it was. All told, he fared pretty well I'd say! Glad his house wasn't touched. Some brave guys out there fighting those fires!
AMAZING flight! This was extremely fun to watch with Bo leading! I can only imagine how much fun that is in person. Thanks for the epic videography and content as always, Trent!
Trent, thank you very much! I was finally able to catch up to and meet Bo last year at Oshkosh. Obviously he was not in the Cessna but we got to look over his new cub/wagon while we chatted with him. What a amazing humble and kind gentleman he is. I have seen where the wagon is under construction and look forward to its triumphant return. Again thank you so much for doing this update video on the fire and how he is doing. Also, the drone video with his plane is absolutely amazing! Keep it up, I like that a whole lot better than the 360° cameras that you guys put on the wing.
Those fpv shots... I'm lost for words. Incredible. Even the sound was matching perfectly. Can't remember the last time that I enjoyed a part of a youtube video that much.
Hey Trent - your hat, "Fly low don't die" is on (my son's) an F18E pilots head! Top Gun Mav was done really well BUT I can watch "this" video ALL DAY. I love Bo's Spirit - going back to the Return from Oshkosh flights, he truely is a bird stuck in a plane trying to get out! Thanks as always Trent! - R
That music you use is awesome, but $350 for a single song or $99 every month is a bit rich for a guy like me. Your edits to the songs you pick are sick though! I loved those FPV shots of Bo's plane.
What a humble man, with a beautiful plane.
lost my home in 2016 to fire. firefighters are amazing people! they were on site so fast. saved the nieghbors homes for sure.
that is what a smoker is for! drift!
speeking of wind socks! that way it is always with ya.
Trent, you have skill; love your channel.
That new FPV is without a doubt the best aerial video. EVER! I told my wife if anyone can watch that and not want to go flying there’s something wrong with them. Wow 🤩
hey Trent, love the video, your a film maker and story teller in your own right. my wife and I both love the videography and flying. sure looks beautiful out there. hope you continue making content !!!! flying and fishing !
My husband is the aviator but I won't let him watch Trent without me. I love his videos for the filmography.
My husband works with Bo and we'd flown over his place recently in our 182 (from our home in Truckee), but this was awesome footage!
The black trees are honestly so beautiful to look at with the orange leaves
He's very fortunate my house burned to the ground November 7th I lost everything I own I crawled out on fire lost my boat, my lifted Chevy 4x4 my Harley my dog everything he should count his blessings they go up fast another great video by Trent Palmer thanks for sharing I'm so happy to see someone have a good story from a fire disaster thanks for sharing
He is fortunate. My house burned to ash also. Just lost my fish. Stuff can be replaced. Only thing that really bothers me is the loss of pictures and vids. Sorry to hear about your dog, terrible.
So refreshing to hear Bo's take on Top Gun. I am with him 100%. Can't believe how few people are commenting on the overall cheesiness of it. Entertaining, none the less. Just a big ol ball of cheese.
Nice !! Great framing when he landed. Then . . . DIZZY !! Good job !!
7:20 There you go Trent, back to your roots and rocking the fpv chase cam with the pilots eye!
+ great choice of subject and location
Looks like some fun flying!
Thanks for all great videos you made and you will make :) love to watch them any time.
Some excellent cinematography on this video. Also some of the best FPV vision I've seen in a while! Congrats on sharing this great adventure! 👌
Glad to see Bo's home and hanger intact. Your drone footage was amazing! You should think about doing it for a living, ha-ha!
I should look into that! 🤪
Trent your drone work is always great, but to top that the FPV work is even more impressive. From watching your video when you first(?) flew an FPV with four or five friends and the drone kept causing problems, to this video, its so impressive to watch the aerial footage from the FPV of other aircraft in flight. Thanks Trent, stay safe and well both of you.
Thanks for the flying video and drone footage. Very professional. So good Bo did not lose his home and hanger to the fire. "Stuff" is replaceable - lives are not.
My family and I lost our thatched cottage in Devon, UK, in 1962. The fire was so intense it melted the fire engine's blue lights like candle wax and there wasn't one bit of wood or wallpaper left inside the house. Scary stuff, fire! Glad much of your friend's property was saved.
Magical, just magical! I hope you get paid well for your talent because this video shows how good you are. Thanks for another fab video.
Beautiful chase footage Trent! Great Composition. Great colors. Great lighting. Hats off to those fire fighters! (obviously, not the "flip-flop fire brigade")
Best cinema photography of any aviation TH-cam channel. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on the beautiful high quality camera work - loved it - I mostly do Bush flying in Aus and like your friend I often stop to boil a billy for a coffee in paddocks - avoiding the kangaroos and emus is often a problem so doing an (illegal???) low level preliminary pass is a must before landing- I fly a Cessna 150 with 160 horsepower engine and Sportsman Stol kit and VGs - its an awesome aircraft
I couldn’t understand your reply- but all good- keep up the great flight videos
Cool vid mate, you got the drone sorted👌👌Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing
Well done Mr. Palmer. Don't know when you started with the gimbaled camera , but OUTSTANDING!
Man. That FPV sequence and music was perfectly done. Top notch video Trent.
Bo looks like he walked straight out of "Badass American" magazine.
Those arial drone shots are just stunning!
Time to install some smoke on the FreedomFox - instant wind sock! Great video as always Trent. Glad to see Bo's place made it. That's a sweet spot he has there.
Interesting idea.
Omg those fpv shots are friggin amazing. Wooooow TP!
Greetings from Australia where we also know a thing or two about bushfires or wildfires as you might say. I never miss an excuse to call out how brave our wonderful firefighters are! I say "our" as I know our two countries do mutual support during our different fire seasons. As usual Trent, your videos are spectacular . I liked your Top Gun stuff and the FPV shots were just spectacular.
Thanks!
Wow! Great flying, MASTERFUL fire fighting…
I'm almost certain that I've landed at Bo's ranch a hundred times on FS2020!! LOL!! I noticed how familiar the scenery was and thought "I've been there before" :) Glad to see that his property was saved for the most part. Great flying, both of you!
that flying then the FPV on a BIG screen woooowhoo is so good, sorry to see the burnd tractor. I am a really happy subscriber stuck in Thailand the land of smiles and no GA bummer
On the grader wheels rims, the wire loops that are left over are most likely carbon steel wire bead bundles, that are encased in the bead toe and bead heel area in each side of the tire, this bead transfers loads and deflection forces to the wheel rim in service and provides a dimensioned, firm, wheel mounting point to anchor the tire carcass.
"Do some of that pilot shit, Mav" 😆
I've become so spoiled by your insane video/audio skills it's very difficult to watch anything else on u-tube. Very impressed with this awesome footage of drone chasing Bo. WOW! Not to mention pilot skills as well. Very entertaining. Can't wait for the next one. Haven't seen Hailey in awhile, tell her we miss her.
Hey Trent great video! Loved the shots in the backcountry especially when the drone was filming! Glad your friend made it through the fire 🔥. Glad no-one was hurt
You're living the good life, man!
He is there for his morning Coffee - I already had Coffee 🤔 I don’t see a problem there - there’s always time for one more ☕️
The wind sock idea is interesting. It could be something as simple as a biodegradable bag of flower or some kind of dust you can drop from the plane. Something that won’t stick around or cause harm if you choose to not land. It would also need to be something that makes a pretty good cloud on impact so you can judge wind direction and speed etc…
Just when I think Trent Palmer puts out a great video this one comes along. Great story line and the FPV was really cool. Editing was spot on. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us
Love the fpv footage…you are an artist of videography…I recognize and appreciate the thoughtfulness and purposeful quest of your passion and for sharing your experiences
Super props to the fire fighters who put there lives at risk to save property - truly amazing what they achieved in such a remote place!
Great footage. He should be able to get someone with a Landoll trailer to winch that grader up on it and haul it off. That is if he can get a tractor trailer close to it.
Wow Tent! The FPV footage is top shelf!
You should place a couple fiberglass rods with tyvek stripes/streamers on them for wind direction at some of your remote sites with funky winds. They will give you a clear picture without guessing all the time.
So very good. Fantastic work Trent.
Man how cool would it be to ride with you one time. My buddy has a 69 Cessna and he takes me up all the time. I cant imagine how different your plane flies. I love the footage from behind you looking fwd. How the camera stays parallel with the horizon and the plane swings around it! Way cool footage. I just love watching you guys fly. What an experience to live where you do and have flying friends to go on all the adventures you do. Be safe up there!!!
We're at the point where everyone living on the boundary should be taking courses and back burning the fuel on Spring days. We've lost our connection to the land and the important role fire plays -- we cut things, but we are afraid to burn the fuel en masse with more folks on low risk days. East Troublesome, All of California, and anywhere with explosive fuel should be burning NOW before fire season starts. Great content!
I was on a fire like that, buring around somebodys house and we stopped it. Only good part I remember about wildland
Such an awesome video. Its like I was watching a documentary. Great content Trent.
Really well done Trent.. Glad Bo came out as good as he did.
Nice to see you flying more relaxed. The drone footage was great!
A friend of mine had his place totaled In a fire in Ruidoso NM about 5 weeks ago. I asked him what that shiny blob was on the ground. It looked like mercury. He said it was his aluminum block out of his hot rod. I can only imagine how hot it was there. great video Trent!!
I wish I could like this 5 times. The drone stuff is amazing as well as your channel.
No better videographer out there. Just beautiful work brother
You just upped the entire game with this one
Beautiful shots man and yes it is fun to watch.
Great video Trent, I really like Bo and he is such an exciting pilot to watch.. I'd love to know some specs on his cub with the custom straight tail and the slats.. maybe a walk around sometime.. I'm pleased to have you back posting flying videos regularly.
Great video Trent. Love the surfing Thru the meadows. That drone footage was sick.
Dude…. This was incredible footage! Love your work man!!!
Very nice video, amazing takes and flying, nice to see that the property was saved
A good flying video and an important story !
Massive props to the fire fighters! Speechless 🤯
Good one Trent. Love the drone chasing the airplane. What a great way to fly.
Grand drone work Trent...WOW!
Such beautiful country, so sad to see it. Are they going to reseed? Thank you for the videos. After moving to Arizona the travels in that area is one of the things that I miss. Take care. Lee
Great video! Grateful the fire didn't cause more damage at Bo's place. What an amazing location!
With that risk level, I don't think I'd keep any trees within 200ft of my buildings.
