BUSH FLYING IN AFRICA | KNYSNA

  • Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
  • A start to a series that hopefully gets you out to the beautiful destinations that both South Africa and the rest of Africa have to offer. Throughout the series we will explore incredible scenery, visit popular airstrips and locations accessible bush aircraft.
    I was not able to rely on such resources when trying to find all the places to go flying. Stop only flying around the patch or going for a breakfast, get out and explore the beauty that South Africa and the rest of Africa has to offer!
    Follow me on Instagram for more up to date and in detail references of all the trip I will be doing in the near future.

    No idea why I said Atlantic Ocean… it is the Indian!! I grew up here and should have picked up this mistake 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Glad you picked up your error. Difficult navigating if you thought that was the Atlantic!

    Fantastic Thomas…. Beautiful flying scenery and looking forward to more content. I was just a little worried you’d meet a seagull at low level over the water😬 happy flying 😎

    Excellent offering, looking forward to following the series. Your camera set up is great. I fly with 1x GoPro and it's not as nice as yours(maybe my GoPro is old). Nice to see the DSLR included.
    Maybe you can include something about your aircraft, something like an introduction to her, I see she's got a nice landing gear, but i don't know anything about specialized Alaskan Gear.

    Great idea for a series Can’t wait! Didn’t realise Knysna was on the Atlantic coast!

    • @ThomasMarrow
      @ThomasMarrow  3 месяца назад

      It isn't and how I didn't notice that mistake is quite alarming as I grew up here and know that it is the Indian ocean!!

    • @ivorevans1795
      @ivorevans1795 3 месяца назад

      @ThomasMarrow :-) !! Was thinking gosh my SA geographical knowledge is bad! Such a great idea for the series. Do please consider Zambia in your future thoughts - my location - we have some amazing bush locations, just a CAA stuck in the dark ages when it comes to experimental aircraft. Am determined to change that over the next few years! Video from you visiting one or 2 locations might be the tonic we need!

    I live in knysna and I'm obsessed with bush planes, I had no idea there was a bush plane community in this area. Maybe you should do a video talking about the cost of owning a bush plane in South Africa
