Super nice video! Love the hands-on flying, the increedible landscapes and also the segment where both pilots tell a little bit about themselves and the flying they do. Cool people, amazing country, never been to Namibia, but I'd love to see it one day!
Namibia is a fantastic country to visit. For wildlife, you might prefer Botswana, but for sheer variety of landscape and a sense of wilderness, Namibia is unbeatable.
When I was 17 I flew to Namibia by myself, and I remember the ascent out of cape town was turbulent, but 20 mins later with the karoo it was stunning. I have to say I prefer bumpy takeoff as well. I did elephant conservation work there for 2 weeks as part of my duke of Edinburgh award and i loved every minute of it. Thanks for the awesome throwback down memory lane.
So much to talk about after watching this video. Once again Gabriel shows great stamina after a long hot day being bounced around in the incredible versatile, 208 caravan. The country is a scenic feast for the eyes, especially if you're a geologist. I have flown high wing Cessnas, but never a caravan with the wonderful PT6A Pratt and Whitney in the nose. Looking forward to more, FR24 & Gabe comes through again! Thanks -Jim
Wonderful to see a country from the air, I think you learn so much more about it and Namibia looks to be a very striking country and must be a great place for bush flying. Thanks for sharing.
I spent 2 weeks driving that route about 20 years ago. I was lucky enough to spend a morning on the ramp at Eros with Chris Schutte who owned the immaculate Air Namibia DC6! Great video of a great Country!!
Thanks, Gabe. A great video as usual. Took 2 weeks passing through Namibia a few years back. A beautiful, diverse country. Fantastic to see familiar places from the air. It was interesting to hear the pilots' points of view about the varied flying conditions there, too. Loved the outro! Haha!
What a contrast from last week! The more controlled environment of the A220 to the more ‘hands on’ approach to the Cessna Caravan. Coupled with the terrific footage of the landscape of Namibia!
Listen to that PT6A starting up. Oooo, old school cockpit setup with the Garmin 750. NICE!!!! Oh and the views ot Namibia are pretty darned spectacular..
Well, that was fun. I will pass on a longer stay there but enjoy yourself. Bumps not problem in either case. You get all of that fun in piston engine flying. 10 thousand feet over Ohio in a DC 3 in the summertime you do get a few bumps. Modern flyers have no clue and miss some of the fun flying piston.
Thank you so much Gabe for sharing and taking us along this phenomenal experience 🎉 I love the African series over the last few months, can't wait for more videos ❤ The crew was top notch and very friendly and shows our spirit as South Africans 😊
I was the captain on the flight, I hold a Commercial Pilots License, so I wear 3 bars to represent that, typically 4 bars are worn when you get a Airline transport Pilots License however some companies like the captain to wear 4 bars to show they are the senior on the flight
Was an absolute privilege to show you the beautiful Namibia and fly you around for the day. Hope to see you in Namibia again soon!
Thank you so much!

Why does the captains wears 3 strips iso 4?
I was the captain on the flight, I hold a Commercial Pilots License, so I wear 3 bars to represent that, typically 4 bars are worn when you get a Airline transport Pilots License however some companies like the captain to wear 4 bars to show they are the senior on the flight
@ thanks! First time I saw this. At my airline the Captain holds 4 and the FO 3 stripes.
Have a nice day
