What a truly inspiring video! This is why I love aviation so much. It really isn’t about the airplane, the start, or the finish, my South African friend Deon said it best, “It’s about the people.”

These videos are unbelievable. You guys are all awesome. As a private pilot myself, I tip my hat to you all.

Just over 18 months ago I started with my PPL while working full time, last month unfortunately at the start of the month all my exam credits expired and I now have to re-write the exams, I was bummed out and not mentaly prepared to get back to studying, This video might have done the trick, I'm opening the books right now!

This WHOLE video is 10/10!! The editing! The narrating! The color grading! The SHOTS! It’s literally movie quality… I’ve never been SO impressed! What equipment do you use and what do you use to edit?

Just earned a subscriber. Very well put together video with the music and everything. I'm working on my PPL in the US and the video was very inspiring. Almost felt like I was right there with you guys.

Awesome video! Your story telling is next level. Thanks for bringing us along.

These stall warnings in ground effects were terrifying - good job on this TO, I hope you won't have to re-iterate it too often on this trip ! I just subscribed and will be following you along - clear skies and tailwinds my friends !

It's finally happening, your journey up till here has been challenging but you made it, safe travels JP, i can't wait to see the rest of the journey

Breathtaking shots, story telling, editing. Simply beautiful. Seeing your improvement from day 1 is simply incroiyable. Looking forward to see the rest of your fascinating journey. Love to see pilots flying in wild remote Africa our homeland!

flying your own plane over the damn ocean is crazy. props

Mad respect! I've been to Osh 20+ times @ 2400 miles round trip but your trek was way more commitment and challenging

I watched your entire world flight series with Louis. Look forward to seeing this series as well. I like the “Live the Adventure” on the tail. Good luck!

JP has the absolutely best Flying videos on KZfaq.

So glad to see you doing some long distance flying and enjoying it. Been here since your 1st circumnavigation around the world and can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures this time. You can really see the enjoyment, the sense of accomplishment, and just genuine happiness on your face as you’re flying this time. It looks like you’ve found your light through the dark tunnel and very happy for you. Cheers mate and “Keep the Blue side Up”🍻🍻

Wow this is truly insparational im From Johannesburg myself so its great to see some insparational people from SA👏😀

Pure class JP, great film 👌

Great looking trip! I would be worried if I only had 1000 lbs and just trying to taxi. It’s amazing you can fly so far with so little fuel.

This is absolutely stunning JP!

Amazing video JP! I would love the opportunity to go on a flying adventure like that. For now, I’ll just enjoy your great storytelling.

Amazing video! So beautifully captured.

Love the videos!!! I am hopefully finishing my PPL that I started in 1986, 2004, and now ..... I hope to build a plane not so sure Ill do a trip like this but man you make me dream !!!

Fantastic video ... Appreciate the effort!

Wow, much respect. What an adventure. I would love to do that.

I dont know if you made recorded much when you built Zazu but that is also what I was hoping fore a bit more. fair winds and happy travels man, cant wait for more to come.

The magic of flight Beauty, fear, joy, adventure. It lets you know your alive.❤

I bought a pair of your sunglasses, really impressed with quality, highly recommend. Following your adventure

James is a funny guy, he has a good time too. Bet he makes a great friend

Very very nice JP! Well done!

Great work can't wait to see the paint job man l learn so much by watching your videos.

I remeber seeing a 6 part video of Gemini Cargo and their 727s to bring fuel and watter to diamond mines in Angola. At some part of the vid you could see all sort of derelict jets, like here at 12:50 ... Nice Vid. Congrats !!!!!

Making feel grateful to have started my aviation journey🙏🏽🐐can’t wait to experience an international flight

Waiting anxiously for the next video. We watched all of James' videos of the trip and it was great to see yours. We call you the "King of the gentle landings" and your videography is first class. Will you be going to Sun 'n Fun at all?

We had an adventurer crash into the roof of a house in the cener of a large city a few years ago, because he had modified his GA aircraft in a similar manner for a similar adventure, and could not gain altitude after takeoff.

Haven't watched your build yet but realizing that Rotax are a great powerplant for kit aircraft, coool, those engines do everything.

Just an excellent video! Can’t wait for the next one. Epic journey…

beautiful video man, hope the next flights go well, fly safe

Beautiful video. Also I bought the Otavi glasses last year. Been the first and only sunglasses ever that I actually feel comfortable wearing (looks and fit). Only thing is that I think the case is not really practical, I've bought a rayban case for them

I’ve made many similar flights. Congratulations on a job well done.

Bloody brilliant!! Cheers n beers from Australia!

That AoA indicator on takeoff tho! Nice job.

Video is epic, music is epic, everything you do is class. I seriously don't understand how you don't have more subscribers.

we should all have a james in our lives, what a friend man

absolute heaven on earth guys absolute heaven on earth.. if you have never flown you have no clue what you are missing out on...

I‘ve been watching all your videos over the last couple of days and they are really inspirational! I’m curious what did you study to have the technical knowledge to build that plane?

HI JP, congrats on your flight to luanda. Such a well made video of your adventure….loved the whole video and scenic shots. Its really a mesmerising experience to do such flights, hope i can do it one day. Love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳. Keep on making these masterpieces, I really your videos expecting more of such videos. Also visit india and explore this beautiful nation on your plane if u get time 😊

Super, love Rotax engine power with a perfect plane.

Never seize to amaze me bud, keep up the awesome work!!!

Hi, u've gained a new subscriber, i m from Angola and i lived for 5 years in Joburg, and there is very very nicer spots in Luanda than what u've captured, but i m not mad coz u did a very good job capturing wat u did. Stay safe and lots of blessings🎉

Beautiful music. Epic adventure

Nail-biting takeoff!

Yeah I have to agree that take off got me tense

Awesome stuff…as always…love it JP, greetings from VHHH

Very Cool there Buddy !! Ag no man... just lookout the window and it started snowing here on the island

Great video as always!

What a great adventure!

Jeeeezzz…. So glad i came across this channel. So cool.

love these videos. What was insane to me I work for a Major Airline and have flown ATL-JNB on a 777 and let me tell you I went to the bathroom at least 4 times. The idea you guys were eating and drinking took me out lol I would have to stop all food/water 10 hours to make sure not to have to go.

Love the feels like an adventure shot lol

Exhilarating and magical at the same time JP! 4-Stars Mate!✴✴✴✴

smashed that like exactly when you said that was sketch lol - great content

I love this keep it up guys going places

Wonderful set of videos to get to OSH. Did you have to get some special approvals for the extra fuel loads or did "homebuilt" cover that issue.Had to be interesting to take off at that gross weight!

come on JP, I cant just keep watching old uploads, we wanna see more adventures with ZAZUUU!!!! jk take your time, great, stellar content per usual.

Love the paint on zazu. Snazzy!
