Trent, you were the first plane TH-camr that I started watching, all those years ago, and you're just about to hit 500k now. It's a sad day to see the Freedom Fox go, but at the same time I wish you all the same success as the stories continue.
Man. Truly the end of an era. Dave seems like a good caretaker. Onward and upward!
A humble pilot, willing to take instructions from the original owner...is a great thing to see. She's in good hands!
Hey Trent, I am 1/2 of the band that composed and recorded that first song at about 1:20 in the video. I’ve been watching you for over 4 years. It’s bittersweet to see Freedom Fox go, but sweet to hear something I made be a part of the last video.
No way! That’s awesome, small world, love your music
Had a blast watching this KitFox evolve over the years, and ill never forget it! Thanks Trent for all the great content, what you do inspires me to do what I love doing.
Wow!! FreedomFox flight videos are ones I will never forget!! Most of the videos from 2019-covid years are my most favorite videos ever made, and are ones that bring back good memories.
Many years ago when I was homebound I discovered your adventures with Freedom Fox and your videos were a great boost to my morale.
Staying tuned for more adventures in the new plane. Cheers.
Sad to see her go.. You and the freedom fox inspired me to start my training. So many beautiful videos and experiences you had. At least they are documented. Looking forward to the future adventures.
Bitter sweet. Been following FreedomFox's trip home to Texas. I just booked a trip to pick up my new to me Aerotrek A240. This year will be epic for all of us!
Nice airplane, the 240 and the 340. One of my favorites for sure. Have fun with it.
@michaelspunich7273 thank you
Congrats on the new plane, Stay Safe.
@@HamSlicer thank you
I got to sit in the Freedom Fox at 2019 Osh Gosh. Trent and Hailstorm were a class act.
from boot lickers to seat sniffers
I didn't get the chance to meet Trent or Hailey but took plenty of pictures of the freedom fox at 2019 oshkosh parked with the flying cowboys. Was hard for me to get there because I was dealing with migraines that week but the day we went worked out. Sad to see it go but happy to see the new plane videos. Been following Trent for a long long time now I want to say since 2017 maybe earlier.
So glad everything worked out. I know it's a heartbreak to see the Bird Go, except that it's going to a good home wishing Dave all the very best and great success. And in the meantime I hope you all have a Blessed & very Merry Christmas!
Great job making an upbeat video at an emotional time Trent, that can’t be easy but you are so good at what you do. It has to be a nice feeling FF is going to a good home, as a viewer it makes me feel good about it. 🙂
It was me! I'm the one landing in the short salt flats out there
*_Happy trails Freedom Fox. May you always keep the blue side up!_* And right rudder on take off!!! 🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩
100%
2017, m6 step dad was building a kit fox. U got him into wanting to fly again. And it got me watching you videos. Going to miss that beautiful piece of art.. I'll keep following her. And you.
It was a great plane Trent! Was a joy watching you grow into it. Going to be great watching you grow into the next one. o7
hi Trent a sad day to see Freedom Fox leave home for the last time but Trent its a new home for the new plane moor adventures and fun times
Bitter sweet to see Freedom Fox flying away from your strip for the last time. I can't wait for the adventures to come with the new plane... Thank you for all these years of great content Trent!!
Wow... that was a video I didn't expect. I have been busy lately so I missed the new build and this surprised me.
It’s cool seeing the difference in comfort behind the stick between the two of you. Years of experience in a plane definitely makes an impact.
Can’t wait to watch Dave take it on more adventures and gain that same level of confidence.
I understand the pain of a final flight, and the feeling of loss that comes with selling your beloved creation. I went through it with my RV-8 and I will miss it for the rest of my life. I got to see it again when I helped the buyer with his first condition inspection, but I can never fly it again because he relocated the rudder pedals and now I don't fit in the airplane! Like you, I'm moving on to another build which I hope to start next year.
@texasov I’m glad your bringing her to Texas. I’m also glad I found your channel through this video. I live in Central Texas and have a cub. I would love to come fly with yall
Long Live the Flyin' Cowboys and similar groups! There truly is Strength in Numbers ... get out there and Fly! 🤟 ^v^
it was sad to see her leave w/o you in her. but looks like she is in good hands. hope your new plane being built is everything you dream of.
When I see Shot of Draco. I always think of FreedomFox and Trent , It’s Been a Wonderful Journey with You and FreedomFox . Tomorrow Brings Bigger & Better Things. Thanks Trent
Wow what emotional conflict, you were my first introduction to bush planes and while the Freedom Fox has become an amazing plane, it’s always been the content you make that’s made watching so enjoyable. Now we get to fly along and hear about your new discoveries as you break in the new Cub.
I too have been following for a decade now and its sad to see that plane go, but I'm super excited to see what adventures you have with the new one!
Not counting Draco, FreedomFox is my favorite aircraft. Thanks for sharing your adventures in that beauty, Trent.
Nothing compares to Draco. It is in a class of its own.
I remember parking my 182 next to you at Baraboo in 2018 (:37 seconds into day 5 video). We grow so attached to our planes because of the memories we made in them. I know there is a day for Daisy, just not sure of when.
A surprisingly emotional video and I don’t even know you personally, or the Freedom Fox. Nice job. Inspiring. Thank you TP.
Every time I watch it takes me back to 17 years old in 1962 flying out of Grants Pass OR. Flew to Roseburg to get enough cross country and meet the examiner with 40 hours and 40 minutes
I’m glad I was able to see it at Reno 2019 and meet you Trent in front of it. A truly wonderful plane you’ve had all these years. But I do know it’s time to move to something different. Can’t wait for what’s to come next.
(6:25) the smile says it all!
Haha yep!
It’s always a bittersweet feeling when we’ve watched one of our airplanes fly away with their new owners. Onward & upward!
Yep, I’ll miss it but I’m super excited for what’s next
This was a hard watch, honestly. Made me want to jump on flight sim and fly her. You could see in parts your facial expression like at 7:37 when he tapped the tail you had that upset dad look. Definitely couldxsee hiw much love for that plane you still have. I hope he treats her as good as you did. Maybe one day you'll have her back. #longlivefreedomfox
Trent. Sad day for freedom fox. But, great things on the horizon my friend. Looking for the new adventure to begin. Balls out!
I’ve been flying since 87 and I remember trying to look up something on this TH-cam thing and the FF first thing that popped up when you started with it, and I followed it everyepisode since.
I live here in Texas I know the guys that you where getting your new plane from and you will definitely like it can’t wait to see the new content.
Thanks! And I can’t wait to get the new plane flying also, it’s going to be awesome
Looks like a bit of a flat tire there at 7:10.
I've got a FreedomFox shirt somewhere.. Such a cool plane and journey in general! ✌
Trent enjoyed this time with the KitFox and you, yeah maybe it is time but it is a hard pill to swallow at times now a new year comes and a new plane friend
It was never about the FreedonFox.....ahhh! dang! ..... it was always about the FreedomFox. We were just a wingman enjoying the ride. This I am gonna miss.
That’s the longest I’ve ever seen the fog hang around the Honey Lake Valley. Glad to finally see some blue sky
Stop in Lufkin Texas. Great municipal airport. Even a diner with the best burgers!
The freedom fox spiked my interest in aviation! Always have enjoyed the content with her can’t wait to see the next bird 🦅 congrats to the new owner
Too bad with the fog at Dead Cow. Glad the valley was clear for you. Hope you did a few laps at our place before you moved on.
Oh no Trent doesn't own the freedom fox any more but that's ok keep us with her for many more years Dave can't wait to see the new plane in the sky.
wow, happy day and sad day. But the new plane is not too far away. Really looking forward to seeing that happen. Keep keep making videos man.
Love the Freedom Fox...Such a cool airplane and got me back into wanting to fly... Sad to see it go. Excited for the new plane though.
Sad to see it go but it seems its going to a good home. Its been great watching your trips and adventures over the years and looking forward to ones with your new plane. Thanks for all the fun times Trent and wishing you and Hayley a very Merry Christmas from NZ & all the best for 2025. Cheers 🍻
Merry Christmas from Minnesota! Thanks for a great 2024, and I can't wait to see what you have planned in 2025!
Dam the freedomfox journey been a real one to follow, well on to the next adventure ❤
WHAT?!?!?!?! Your videos got me so addicted to wanting to learn to fly and I've been drooling over Kitfoxes ever since (I think the SxS layout is superior to the fore/aft layout of cubs). We've even got roperty up in N.Idaho that we could fly into... it's become my life's dream to build a bush-plane and learn to fly. Sad to see the Freedom Fox go.
The star that you are will shine in anything you fly or anything you do yes we learned a lot from you about flying but also lots about life be safe and crack on
That is one heck of a sideslip (13:40-13:56) that you've got going on there!
I know the feeling. I sold my classic truck. I got a lot of thumbs up everywhere I went. Prices were so high, I couldn't resist, plus the mission I had for it ended. I figure I'll buy another one if I need it one day.
Great video Trent. Love the Freedom Fox. Was just flying it in MSFS this morning actually.
Yo @Trent Palmer, This is kinda bittersweet. You are in the group of Aviation Content Creators that I followed before starting my channel. I love the freedom Fox and will miss her. It was great meeting you at KSLR and can't wait to see videos in your new airplane!
Would love to see Dave fire up a tube channel, haven't seen much bush flying in Texas but I know there's lots!
He’s got one! I put a link to it in the description of this video
she will be missed! looking forward to what's instore with the new plane
Wow that was a little sad but i can't wait to see the new cub you're going to love it have you come up with the paint scheme yet.
Sad to see her go. But as you say, on to a good home. Looking forward to the nnew plane.
She's a pretty bird. It was an honour to see her at High Sierra Fly-in in 2023. I hope she has many more adventures to come.
Goodbye to a beautiful bird...Love the Mike Patey quote 🤠 Back To Work 💪🤠🤣
I'm sure you will miss that little plane. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the adventures that you have had with it.
Trent, I saw you guys landing at Silver Springs! It's sad that I can't look up in the Nevada skies and see the Freedom Fox anymore.
Hope he loves it as much as you do! I’m sure you’ll have the chance to fly with him again someday
Just the end of one chapter, man. Looking forward to the next!
End of an era. Nice to know that the FreedomFox will continue on to new adventures.
I couldn't be happier thnx for the send. While I'm ever optimistically looking forward; I bet the past will be cherished by many. Someday I hope to realize appreciation for the injected charged rotax engines.
I almost shocked up watching the freedom Fox taking off. Wow!
It's gotta be hard to walk away for something that's been an integral part of your life and identity. Looking forward to following along on the new ride.
I will wait to be convinced the Cub is more adventurous than the KitFox. I am a KF fan!
Hey Trent, nothing sadder than parting with an old friend but she has gone to a great home.
I don't want to like this video seeing the Freedom Fox leave. But I am excited for what's to come!!
Congratulations on a Life with Chapters Trent!!
Pretty crazy to see it go but can't wait to see the new plane.
I can't wait to see the ff flying with Trent's new plane... I'm sure they're already talking about it.
We must have the side by side comperison.
Aw I got a little teary seeing it take off for the last time
I have had about 45 aircraft and still own Baron and a DH89A look at them VH-APL and VH- UXZ .
Gonna miss the freedom fox! Truly the end of an era, I dream of owing a kitfox or highlander! Love the content!
Hard to see her go, but exitet to see the future!
Flew that jabiru from California to Ohio. Did stuff I probably shouldn’t have .. but a fun 2000. Mile trip . Chasing wild horse s in Montana ! No I didn’t 50 feet off the ground with a student license with the instructor saying go for it ..
Sad to see the Kitfox go away but looking forward to your new plane.
Hearing you call out the FF tail number for the last time made it feel real! Does your new plane have a tail number yet ?
Sorry to see your Kitfox heading down the road. Changing the subject a bit. Has any one ever told you that you have “Spock Eyebrows”? It’s not an insult but an observation. Kinda Cool!
side note, was in north Idaho making a delivery, grass runway in front of a few house, customer opens garage, seaplane and old bush plane inside. without thinking I say damn you know Trent Palmer? he says, I know of him I think the guy in the first house is friends with him. So thought id share.
The end of an era!
On to the next chapter.....
Je ne savais pas que tu parlais français aussi ! Nice! Un beau flambeau indeed.
I missed you, but I got to see the freedom fox at Osh2019. Amazing bird.
Farewell, FreedomFox. It looks like she'll be in good hands.
That lakebed is Ea$y Money! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I'm looking forward to see more about the Legend your building.
Congratulations Dave... I look forward to your flights in Freedom Fox.
Thanks! The adventure has begun!
This is truly one of those bitter sweet moments, it is going to a good home, but man i am going to miss seeing her in your videos.. She is an amazing plane.
Thats gotta feel weird. Well , movin on up !
Bittersweet for sure. Great video. He did awesome
These videos, the Freedomfox, the back county adventures have been so epic. Can't wait for the future build to be completed and the adventures that await. So cool to capture this cool moment handing over the plane. I'm not a pilot, I fly the Freedomfox in my simrig FS2020/24. It was really interesting watching the process of someone never having flown the Kitfox before and basically going through that whole process while he awaits his full licence. Really cool.
Bye sweet Kitfox we are gonna miss you here!
Tell him to stop at 3R9 Lakeway on his way home and stay the night! We have a full guest house for anyone coming through !
TP I think I know why Rotax in Legend, quiter??
The “Freedom Fox” is headed to Texas! GOD BLESS AMERICA. 🇺🇸
I do recall one of my favourite adventures of yours was with the Mustangs! Very, very cool indeed! Thank you Trent, for all the wicked adventures with the Freedom Fox! Look forward to seeing your Cub real soon. Take care and hope to see you in your Cub up here in Canada!
