Bush flying all over Namibia! (INCREDIBLE)

November 8, 2024

Join us for a grand tour and amazing adventure around Namibia as Gabe kicks off his video series in the country with Westair and FlyNamibia Safaris, which specializes in bush flights to remote corners of this country (which is truly spectacular and unlike anything else!)

To get a real taste of what it’s like here Gabe joined up with a Cessna 208 Caravan and its friendly crew for their entire day of operations, flying in a diamond pattern out of Windhoek Eros Airport, down to Keerweerder/Sossusvlei, over to Swakopmund, up to Ongava and then to Windhoek Hosea Kutako, the international gateway, before a lovely ten-minute flight at just a few thousand feet above the ground back to Eros Airport in town, where the day started. See the many varied landscapes of Namibia along the way and get some insight into how this operation is conducted with plenty of aviation focus including cockpit and ATC audio on some of the sectors.

FlyNamibia Safaris will soon be making its safari shuttle service a daily offering, flying in a clockwise direction so that customers can hop around the country to various camps and lodges You can check out their offering here: https://flynam.com/flynamibia-safari-2/

How Rolls-Royce Jet Engines Are Built

In this video we take you deep inside the Rolls Royce jet engine site in Derby, England to look at how these state-of-the-art jet engines are built, tested, inspected and improved. In particular we’ll be looking at the Trent 1000 (which powers the 787) and how Rolls Royce is improving reliability and durability by swapping out High Pressure Turbine components. We’ll also check out their most advanced engine inspection technology as we get a demo of their boroscoping method.

Flying a heavy jet to a bush airfield

Fly in the cockpit of an Airlink E-jet into Skukuza, a tiny airport in the middle of Kruger National Park. We’ve got lots of elements for a fun flight: a short runway with a steep slope, uncontrolled airspace, light aircraft in the vicinity shuttling between safari camps, and a truly special mix of wildlife to look out for.
