  • Yes, Season 2! A new year, a new South African adventure with the same Sling 2. This is the eighth episode of season 2: from Iwamanzi private game reserve to Upington International Airport.
    The landscapes of the Green Kalahari Desert, seen from above, are perhaps the most beautiful in South Africa, a hidden gem!
    Upington Internation Airport has the third longest runway in the world. It is special to land on this with the little Sling. The Orange River runs through the desert with an oasis of greenery along its banks due to the cultivation of table grapes.

      You are so very right 🤣🤣🤣!!! I think it's more interesting for pilots to have more ATC to learn, but no one knows how much work it is to make videos. Anyway, the videos may not work but we have the fun of flying and the videos are a nice reminder of this. Fortunately, sometimes there are nice comments like yours that encourage us to keep making videos... . Thanks!
