Рет қаралды 45,467
Күн бұрынAfter leaving Samburu we head to Nairobi and land at East Africa’s busiest airfield, Wilson Airport. We spend a few days resting in Nairobi before we head to our next African country: Tanzania! We clear customs next to Africa’s tallest mountain Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our final destination of the day is only 6 minutes away at Dolly estate. We drive Rosita’s trusted Land Rover Defender into Arusha and do an oil change on the aircrafts Rotax engine!
This is episode 9 of the Long way South Series; a 6-week journey flying the new Sling High Wing aircraft from The Netherlands to South-Africa.

These last couple of videos have been really special. Special because it's wonderful to see you fulfill your childhood dreams and especially special because they have shown how life is in a part of the world that we, the people who are part of the so called "western world", not often get to see. To see the excitement in a little boys eyes when he sees someone who comes from afar or how proud the local guy at the Dolly airfield looked when he washed your aircraft... This series is about your story of flying a little high wing aircraft across a continent but it is also about the life that is so unbeknownst to most of the world. And even then, we only see a tiny part. Very hard to imagine what it must be like if this is your life. Keep it up! I love this series! :D

@NixHarpinger Жыл бұрын
That was actually just a dust devil. In most cases they are tiny and harmless compared to a tornado because they are created by an upward flow of air and a tornado is basically a giant whirlpool. And as un-intuitive as it sounds, light winds are actually more likely to form a dust devil, opposed to a tornado where you need strong, opposing winds. Lastly, dust devils are usually very short lived - typically lasting only a few minutes, so Bambi and her twende were actually a bit lucky to get such a nice shot of one. :)

Some wait a week for a new episode of a series. I wait to see how this journey goes. I'm a PPL pilot. Love everything about aviation. Sometimes we think that everything have been done already...But then comes a story like this and makes us to want to experiment things like this and conquer even more! Amazing! Respect! Godspeed! That Sling HW is so cool. Wish I could afford one...

Another great video from you two. Isn't Wilson Airport awesome? It's a paradise for airplane enthusiasts. I remember when I was a kid my parents would take me to the aeroclub and I would sit in rapture because there was just so many planes coming and going. Mauritz is always smiling, camera in hand. I hope you enjoy(ed) your homeland of Tanzania. Looking forward to your next episode. Thanks for the great content!

I have always wanted to fly, but I have had a speech impediment all my life, so though I still want to be a pilot. Anyway, I listened to how fast you talk, and how fast ATCs speak, and wondered how my Kenyan English will keep up with ATC from other countries. 🤣Listening to Kenyan and Tanzanian ATCs,.. I can see I wasn't wrong. We speak our English much slower here in East Africa. I'll need to train my ears. Great video and thanks for sharing this precious journey of yours. Elephants, planes, SpaceX Dragons and Teslas are my special interests. Great to see two of these loves in your video.

Surprised to see how black that oil is after just 50hrs? I once did 14 trips between Kapstadt and Pretoria= 14x1450kmx2+1. My Honda's oil, even then, looked refinery fresh, a golden sheen. The car had 134,000km on the odo. I usually changed oil every 5000km plus filter, all synthetic, but this time, I simply had no time. Every trip was non-stop, just stopped for fuel & padkos, no sleepovers.
