Hi everyone, Thank you all for the incredibly kind and positive comments on our Long way South Series, we truly appreciate all the support from around the world! At the very end of the series we want to make a video about how we planned the journey, and what our final take is on such an endeavour. In this video we’d like to answer the many questions we’ve gotten so far. If you have anything in specific you’d like us to talk about, please do not hesitate to share the questions below. We’ll do our best to answer as much as possible in the final video. Love, Rosita and Maurits

@tropicthndr Жыл бұрын

That’s the huge turnoff with pilots that know better about light sport aircraft, they have very poor penetration performance in turbulence, especially on landing. You really notice this going from light sport or Cessna 172 into a 182. It’s like going from a paper airplane and then stepping up to a 747, rock solid in what would have blown a light sport all over the place. You never want to be in a light sport again after flying a Cessna 182.

Watched a few of your episodes and adventures and you 2 seriously live your life and seem to enjoy every minute of your adventures and experiences along the way I've wanted to fly as long as I can remember and had probably been my number 1 on my bucket list but life work and family commitments have stopped me from pursuing this dream Watching your videos is igniting that dream Keep having fun, loving what you do and sharing your experiences with us all coz it inspires us to follow our dreams and realizing there is more to life than behind a desk, laptop or on a couch LIVE LIFE

Nu ik bijna alle films van jullie gekeken heb, heb ik mezelf als doen gegeven om voor 31 december 2030 zowel mijn ppl áls de cpl te halen. Heb 16 jaar parachute gesprongen en 10 paragliding. Nu ik een soort van gepensioneerd ben, ik ben 54 jaar, heb ik alle tijd om mijn doelstelling te halen. Ik wil jullie nogmaals bedanken voor de leuke, vrolijke en leerzame beelden. John uit Delft

That crosswind was wild! But you made an absolutely beautiful landing in such extreme conditions. Bambi, you couldn't have done it better. When you visit Kenya I highly recommend that you stop at the Nanyuki Airstrip where Tropic Air Kenya is based. They do some really exciting flying especially with their helicopters.

I like how the controller enunciated his words. It really made him understandable, and that's a huge plus when flying overseas if you're not used to a heavy accent. I was landing in Rota, Spain some years ago, and I couldn't understand a single word the controller said. That was a bit unnerving since I also had all of my electronics fail just prior to entering the pattern. Fun times! Well, like my flight instructor (and best friend) told me...any landing you can walk away from is a good one. :-) Fly safe!!
