Capt. Bierman, living legend, infamous R/T when he lost an engine during a go around at ORT and addressed Joburg Radar thus..." Joburg Radar a hearty good morning to you, engine failure request vectors to Lanseria".....landed HALA without further event....Respect Sir!
One of the coolest Captains I've ever met at Comair.
Yes totally. Great to have captured him in our series!
KALAHARIE!!! We were together in the police, and again in the aviation industry some 20 years later.. warmest regards!
I'm a 22 year old South African pilot about to complete my CPL... Seeing videos like these makes me so excited for the future of my aviation career! Very inspiring to see such a passionate and competent crew.
well as soon as u can high-fly out of the country, which airlines do u want to fly for, just not SAA,hehehehe, hope all your dreams come true,
How I miss SA, loved flying with them all, God bless you all, brilliant country. 🇿🇦🇿🇦✈️✈️
This was a pleasure to watch our local team, if all our pilots here in South Africa maintain this standard of professionalism then we have to notch pilots. Long live my brothers.
You are 100% right, glad you enjoyed it
Great comment. See the difference between a South African pilot landing a commercial jet, and the pilots in Australia, where I lived for a few years and did many commercial flights with multiple airlines. The Australian flights prove that one has to have great faith in the engineers who design landing gear.
@@francishook8767 That sounds interesting Sir Francis, I would like to look into that:))
just a pity if u fly for SAA its not so professional because the German aviation auth has investigated the incident that took place on an SAA flight to Frankfurt over Switzerland in 2019 that nearly stalled 3 times in midflight due to a pilot error, he pointed the nose 3 times upwards close to the stalling speed of the aircraft nearly causing the plane to fall like the KLM flight over the ocean, and the outcome of the investigation... the software aboard was outdated, really ??? outdated, it caused the autopilot to disengage,
The casual manner belies a very serious and professional cockpit crew: such a pleasure to watch and see the excellent interchange between the pilots. Very impreesive all round.
Very proud of my adopted country South Africa. I have flown in and out so many times in Lanseria to Rand and back.. Well done to the crew for he nice experience🛫🇿🇦🇬🇷🛫
My goodness, those procedures are about a million years old! No EFB, paper everything, TOLD cards, checks/briefings on the taxi out, checklists 'to the line'....takes me back. That First Officer is incredibly skillful, I must say, clearly top notch..... I have no vested interest in saying that whatsoever :) :)
Kaptein Kalahari, altyd lekker om saam met jou te vlieg.
hahaha. lovely comment :)
@@justplanes Kulula is the bestest airline ever. They may have lost a bit of their sense of humour in the safety announcements but they are still the best.
I grew up in the "analog dials" age, so it was no surprise when I first saw the cockpit. Nothing wrong with flying those needles! Thanks for the excellent video!
Easy atmosphere; loads of mutual respect belying an atmosphere of the highest standards possible, each clearly driven by a deep passion for their vocation.
Makes me so proud to be a South African when I watch maestros like this ply their noble trade!
Totally agree Andrew, awesome crew!
Had a tear in my eye watching this, unfortunately my dream of becoming a pilot was not possible due to my partial colour blindness.
However my passion for aviation still lives and hope to pass this onto my son. Keep up with the awesome clips!
Sorry to hear that 🙁 But just keep up the enthusiasm my friend.Dreams never die,and as long as your aviation blood is still pumping,so does your dream and passion for flying 👍 Keep up the spirit.God bless 🙏
Have you actually had a pilots medical. I’ve known of colour blind pilots. When I flew here in Perth, Western Australia there was a colour blind guy that was accepted into the Royal Flying Doctor Service flying Kingairs. Another pilot at my aero club only had one arm and flew with a hook. You can get medical exemptions in some cases.
Is this Mark Boucher our Proteas' coach? 🤔
I pray your dream comes true though and never give up.
Pre Covid, I was a regular Kulula passenger and always used Lanseria on a JHB run. Nice to see this from the flight deck for a change.
Beautiful and amazing old aircraft. That livery looks amazing, and so does that cockpit. I love seeing everything, and I enjoy listening to and watching these great pilots. Awesome takeoffs and landings that sounds amazing. That view outside these windows is amazing and beautiful. Awesome video; I love it.
Still the good old days 😊 love these classics!
100% yes!
I see the FACT new terminals still under construction in 2008 in preparation for the FIFA world cup crowds. I also notice Lanseria now has a runway 07 and not 06. Likely due to declination of magnetic fields. Great video! Thanks.
Capt Kalahari, what a legend, I had the honor to fly with you en route to Oshkosh, you dropped a plane off in Spain. July 2003 alles van die beste and let hope we see more vids.
The best ever yes, I still have this DVD I brought years ago from Just planes. Great stuff guys
Even though it's old, this is one of the best videos showing what's happening in the cockpit.
This is just amazing to watch you two professionals at work! I loved my Kulula flights to CT, but now my family live in Port Elizabeth so I have to fly with Comair, which is fine, but I miss the fun of the flight attendants! Keep up your dedication & love of flying ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Stay safe & well
Excellent crew work, brilliant SOP's adherence, totally professional team. A pleasure to ride along.
Awesome video for 2008. FALA my choice for local travel, the airport has seen so many upgrades since
Enjoyed watching this video . Nice to know we are in good hands ....
Great video. Looking forward to more in South Africa.
Such an incredible video cool pilots ...absolutely loved this thanku so much ...Beautiful plane love and God bless x
Yes for sure, these pilots made this video/flight very special. Thanks Wendy!
@@justplanes my pleasure always x
Beaut of a landing into FACT. SA pilots you rock. 👊🏼
Awesome flown into lanseria many times and cool to see my home from the sky in Cape Town
Very nice!
There's a certain atmosphere about Lanseria that I just can't find at any other airport. I also learned to fly at Lanseria. It brings back great memories.
Nice to see my old airport. Fixed wing solo (Tomahawk) and also 1st flight solo after HS369C conversion, out of FALA way back in the 80's 🙂
Very cool!
What a professional crew..felt like I was flying with them✈️
I literally fly into Lanseria every weekend for flight training!!
Cool to see the changes.
Please try do a modern video with any South African airline as there aren’t any on UA-cam
Thats cool indeed. We did a South African Airways program not that long ago on A340-300 and A340-600 and were scheduled to film their new A350 as covid hit!
Kaptein op die ouderdom van 85 is ek vol bewondering vir julle vaardigheid en baie bly. My seun bly in Durbanville en ek het baie foto's geneem wanneer vliegtuie oor sy huis vlieg. Baie dankie.
After watching this video I have deep respect for all Pilots - the amount of work involve in Flying the Plane is Mind Blowing.. Thank you Guys for sharing such valuable information..
Just planes is the coolest UA-camr
Awesome crew 👌🏽
Yes they are, very special Captain👍
Cool a Classic JP! Very friendly Capt and F/O....Super team! Great work JP;)) Love it.....see you soon! Warm greetings.....Betsy....
Thanks Betsy, Agree that was a great pair of pilots. Have a lovely weekend! Enjoy summer, it will be gone soon unfortunately
@@justplanes Thanks for your always friendly reaction JP;)) Betsy......
Great job!
Thanks for the visit
Watching this just makes me mire eager to get to the big leagues. As a CPL student at Grand Central (not to far from Lanseria), I have flown into Lanseria with the big Boeing’s as a view. Soon soon will be doing my Instrument Rating and hopefully have many happy years doing what I love. Would love to see a Safair video or updated kulula videos (happy to record for you🤣🤣).
Very happy to hear that and wishing you the very best of luck Jayden!
Snap. I also learned to fly at Grand Central in the 80s although I started on a turbo boosted Maule tail dragged. Unfortunately we didn’t have the proper flight manual so my instructor made up the numbers. It was not an easy plane to fly especially the take off at full boost although it could take off in a few hundred feet. I did my solo on it I did one of the best landings. On a Friday the 13th I had a few circuits with my instructor who clears me for solo circuits. As he got out he said it’s all yours go break you own aircraft little knowing I would do so. After a couple of circuits I was doing a take off under full power and pushed the nose down too far and the propeller contacted the ground. I immediately stopped the takeoff and ended up off the runway in the weeds with the engine still ticking over. I got out and walked to the flight school. The instructor wasn’t there but came back shortly afterwards and asked me what I was doing there so I told him I did what he told me to do ie bend the aircraft. It ended up with a new propeller and a crankshaft X-ray. To complete my training I transitioned to the toner hawk on which I got my license. I did fly the Maule once it had been repaired but it turned out not to be fast enough to get to west coast so I sold it I bought a turbo retractable C182 which was much better. I used to fly to a Vredendal on the west coast normally stopping at Kimberley to fill up as a gas was hard to find on the west coast. Fond memories of my time in SA.
Boeing 737-400 have a old Classic Aircraft into South Africa 🇿🇦
👍
Great recording
Best pilots in the world!!!! That was a soft landing well done
Silliest comment in the world!
Who are they
That was awesome
Great crew
My best flying experiences EVER.!!!!!!!!!
FROM CHICLAYO PERU 🇵🇪 ♥ 🇿🇦
Hello Peru. Lovely country! Hope to visit again!
Wow,amazing👍
Thank you very much!
Beautiful landings. Pilots get the roughest rides.
👍
Does anyone know where Captain Bierman is now post Comair collapse?
this green livery is extremely unique
I believe various planes were painted in different very unique liveries... very cool
Captain Kalahari!!!What a Legend
Wonder where ZS-OTF is these days; one of the coolest Kulula liveries - brings back some great memories!
Shows as being withdrawn from service in May 2019 and was with Kulula/Comair until then
@@justplanes Yeah - did see that note on PlaneSpotters - would have totally expected it to be a hand-me-down to StarAir Cargo or one of the other freighters.
@@justplanes Thanks for the excellent video :)
Profesionall pilot
Yes indeed👍
I wish I could sit in the cockpit for landing and takeoff
I'm sure I've flown with this first officer...voice sounds familiar
Their reality.. My dream😎
We want more
Hey Simon , cool flight. Trust you well. Guess you in the other seat by now somewhere in the world.
Mike, you legend, hope you're doing well.. Ja, left seat now, still with them......hopefully we make it through this whole thing ok.
Excellent. Good to hear from you. Yep the worlds gone mad.
Hello everyone
Wow that's Old Vid, Cpt International still Under Construction
Yes 2008
Being retired ATC expect feeling good luck
👍
It would be cool if one of these pilots comment on this video.
Very true... although its been 13 years since this was filmed so I don't know if they're watching :)
🙌🏻 Kalahari.
Lekker Kalahari!
Ah, the old paper plates and double bugging 😉
:) yes
9 tons of fuel on board-----thats about 2500 gallons --Imperial
sure beats flying a DC3
Where is my pilot? I’m in need of one
Hello' I'm your desired pilot if You want.
I'm captain pilot on B739. Would' You like ?
@@markcpt.b7487 👍🏽
@@markcpt.b7487 your username says different
:)
Hi bro
Hello
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
👍👍
Seventeen down votes? What a miserable bunch you are. Fly into Cape Town in real life and you might possibly have a lift in your sad lives. To the producers and pilots: lovely video. I grew up in Johannesburg and then lived in Cape Town. Great reminiscing on both ends of this dual flight video and the many times I have flown across South Africa 👍🇿🇦
It appears some local gangbangers tagged the crap out of that plane. I don't think that's gonna wash off.
Any of these two pilots still flying what with Covid-19 and the political BS going on.
Not sure sorry
I’m sure the captain is. He’s a senior training captain and I’ve been in the sim with him a few times in the last 3 or so years. Not sure about the FO
@@andrewmeyer6064 Thanks for the update.
Airplane pilots confirmed .. They fly across a flat level earth.. Not around a ball globe earth.
