Рет қаралды 32,019

Күн бұрын

The final two days of our adventure takes us in two bushplanes through the mountains of South Africa. Spotting wild life from the air and during evening safari's in the Hoedspruit wildlife estate. Our last night was spent in an unique hotel built inside an old Boeing 737.

Bambi knows how to do it. She takes the taildragger down like a professional. Great job. Loved the adventure tour through Africa. The Boing Hotel was a blast 💥. You doing your way and also live your dreams in aviation. I have no doubt, you will get your satisfaction with a good job in aviation. Keep on going. ☀️👍😀

Gog-goks of petrol LOL! So Africa. Why gog-gok? That's the noise the petrol makes when poured out. One of my friends was a 737 training captain with Air Zimbabwe, a long time ago. It's worth googling for video of an airshow at Charles Prince airport in Harare - Darryl Tarr. He didn't do a naughty, but another 737 captain did, with passengers on board. Yikes!

Your videos are looking very professional! I wonder how you get all these outside views of the airplane, e.g. the perspective from the ground when you are landing. Do you put your video guy on ground and then land again?

@Dusty7460 Жыл бұрын

Amazing as always Bambi. The flight plan was all the way VFR. In case of bad weather could you go IFR?

@PilotBambi Жыл бұрын

Thankyou!! Unfortunately we wouldn't have been able to continue IFR, as the aircraft is not equiped for IMC. We wouldve diverted or spent a day longer in Hoedspruit (which wouldn't have been too bad either!)

The Drakensberg area is very nice. I've seen it on another channel. You have also much talent to find gorgeous locations and lodges. You should think about writing a book about your adventures, in times of e-books should be no problem. Some concurrence to "the lonely planet". To the next video.

This is fantastic, amazing bush flying. I learned to fly in Zimbabwe way back in 1994...so long ago! This reminds me a lot of the flying we did. I'm keen to know if you can recommend any self-fly bush plane hire company in South Africa? I'm keen to head back there to do some flying again!
