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/

Our crazy planespotting mission in Tokyo

While we were in Tokyo recently we wanted to find the most exciting way to go planespotting around Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) — and we found it! Instead of sticking to the usual spots, we took a water taxi out onto Tokyo Bay to get up close to the runways.

3 hours (transatlantic!) in the Dash 8 cockpit

We’re going transatlantic on the workhorse Dash 8-200 with Air Greenland – flying from the brand new Nuuk International Airport in Greenland to Reykjavik’s Keflavik Airport in Iceland (KEF). And we’re sitting in the jumpseat which means we have 3 hours on this very-long-haul-for-a-turboprop over the ice cap and remote east Greenland plus the Atlantic Ocean.

Putting Starlink to the test on a special airBaltic flight (Riga–Riga)

Flying the A340 from Antarctica to Africa!

It’s time to leave Antarctica and head home after 8 incredible days on the 7th continent with White Desert. That means we’re greeting the inbound A340-300 (operated by Hi-Fly) as it lands at Wolf’s Fang Runway on a beautiful bluebird day with almost no wind. Then it’s time to climb onboard and make the 5.5 hour trek back to South Africa.
