@williamfenton8733 3 года назад

You may well be aware of the old saying that has it that there only three types of expatriates in PNG (or indeed the South Pacific) - Missionaries, Mercenaries or Misfits. Those who are there with the purpose to help; those who simply wish to make money and those who are (usually) escaping from the "real world". I was really pleased to ascertain from your warm attitude to the PNG people that you fell into the first group. But as it entirely your business I made no comment. Your story today now empowers me to comment. How wonderful it is to have a sense of purpose, and deliver for others. I salute you. I am not a fan of organised religion but there has been a lot of great humanitarian work done. The legacy of the quick conversion from original beliefs to Christianity is not without issues but I salute what you do when so many of us get no farther than a keyboard. PNG is on rapid path of change ,I hope that many will be able to take the best of scripture and practice and forge their own unique path in the world.

My cousin and his son are both missionaries of the gospel in Australia and often go to Papua New Guinea to preach, particularly his son. Now I have an idea of what the island looks like. I also really enjoy the views from inside the cockpit as I'm an armchair aviator 🙂 God bless and protect you.

Great channel. Flying an airliner actually brings real happiness and purpose. Me in the UK, my Mum in Spain, my Dad passes out and I can be with them in hours and make medical arrangements which saved him - all this in a 1st world country. As a person, airliner flying has made me happier and better seeing the world. But great work, regardless if you’re Christian or not. Personally I believe in my own higher power.

Ryan I graduated college on an aviation program with the intention of doing exactly what you are doing. Unfortunately I graduated at a time when our economy was down and I couldn’t get the 250 more hours I needed to go into the field. As it turned out it was for the best for me as we had illness in my family that would have required me to come home after only a year or two. I took a job “temporarily” as an air traffic controller, and 30 years later I retired. I thank you for your videos, it lets me know that my desire was for a very necessary service, and I do live somewhat vicariously through your flights. God bless you and your family.

@yakabakooproductions9115 3 года назад

@mxyzptlyk 3 года назад

I don't mean to be unkind. Your professionalism is beyond reproach. I have followed quite a few of your videos but the start of every video is like a "Previously on......" TV show. The engine start and the pre-take off checklist are pretty well engrained in the minds of anyone that has seen any previous ten. Other than that the precision flying into challenging airports is superb. Thank you for that.

Thanks for sharing your details man. I'm glad you found something that you love to do. Don't blame you for not flying for the airlines....this job is way more fun and I would imagine the non flying aspect of your job is pretty satisfying. FWIW, my German dad did missionary stuff in the 60s in PNG....no idea what outfit he worked with, but he taught mechanic stuff. He used to fly around with the bush pilots when he lived there and loved it. Wouldn't be surprised if he had to do some bush repairs either. I sent him some links to your videos and he totally digs it. Haven't had a chance to talk to him about it yet, but I would imagine it's a pretty cool walk down memory lane for him. Eventually he wound up moving to the Philippines where he met my mom, who worked for the Peace Corps, and getting hitched. And here I am, watching your videos. Cheers

We have found a way to balance our passion for missions with his passion for aviation. Love your videos! Many prayers! Thank you for the insight.
