I remember this with so much emotion! I was in class 7 and it would come just before my favourite WWF wrestling programme! I tell you the people who created this ads were nothing but plain geniuses! Thank you for taking me back to those fantastic childhood memories.
This remains one of my greatest advert... from time to time i come back here and watch it...then gaze for a minute and remember the days of my childhood...#memories
The song was produced by Mathew Peevers way back in 89' according to what he told me when I visited Supersonic Studios along Mbabane Road in Nairobi. It was actually recorded on a tape machine which they still have at their recording facility by he way.
Was born in Mombasa as a kid at the age of 4 we lived in Nairobi West went to Nairobi West Kindergarten and then South C Primary School.. I remember used to cross a small river just behind Nairobi West to School Nairobi West and Generally Kenya was so beautiful the Landscape the People used to walk to Wilson Airport and watch all the Small Cessna Aircrafts dreaming to be a Pilot one day but just went to other field in Aviation..left Kenya at the age of 13 with Parents to Live in another country but those Beautiful Memories are attached to me till this Day ...

Thanks very much for posting this "old school" Kenya Airways advertisement. Great trip back in time. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, 29th April 2024.
Those were the days I used to see that plane fly and imagine I was inside going to the country of dreams 🇺🇸...memory lane at its best...and yes I got to enjoy a plane ride after 20 years dreaming 😂
I didn't find this ad. But seeing this ad right now; kinda makes me wish I was born in this era. Simple and profound visuals that tell of a beautiful Kenya with its beautiful people. Beauty standards were natural and complemented the African make. Amazing....
And here it is... Oh my... this just gives me goosebumps. We need our Pride of Africa to once again rule the African skies... KQ was a force and I believe with some in house cleaning it can go back to its glory days. So proud to be Kenyan.
Does anybody know the REG of the aircraft used on the advert. Great days in Kenya to grow up..neighbours were family, family stood with you and you dared not misbehave because your mom's friends had licence to tap that...great days. Watched the advert with so much nostalgia.. Like I travelled back in time..
@@ikm254 Thanks for the reply, mine is late, 3 years late but I think it's Echo November, I could be wrong but I took a screenshot from advert and although it's not legible but beneath the star side cockpit window is what seems like enough space to accommodate the ship christen name ' Harambee Stars'. It's not a scientific or Logarithmic based method😂😂 but it's could be right. It's sad to imagine she lies in the sea on top of the souls lost that night🙏🙏 #KQ431
1994. We used to repair things not replace. We valued everything. This days they replace everything. That explains the total disconnection in every aspect of life. Shout out if your watching this in 2022👍.
I lived for 7 years in Kenya 80-87 ...I will never forget the beautiful land and people ..I miss my childhood friends so much ..Kongoni primary in my heart and soul forever ....SOUTH C ❤️😪😪😪😪

A masterpiece

Only pains to see what is happening to the airline now,
martin mwathi. It's sad someone is deliberately taking it down.
Sad indeed, losing our national heritage.
Sweet memories...
Wow .. this reminds me of wrestling. When the advert was over immediately wrestling started....😂😂😂😂
Life was good back in the day.
