Beat aviation channel. So bored of the constant barrage of ohh look I flew on the best business class. Keep it up Noel. Awesome videos
To be fair his next video is probably one of those.
Agree
While content is great. Really starting to get worse with the ads 7 is slightly taking the piss. I mean I watch some to give him the revenue great content but really getting hard to watch with so many ads.
He does that also....anything to do with planes is ok by me 😆
you should inspire that pilot to make his own videos, something similar to Missionalry Bush Pilot. It would make some really nice content
Hi Derrick, I work for the organisation that appears in this video. They do make many videos all across RUclips that the BushPilots are involved in creating. Just search for Mission Aviation Fellowship.
@@checoetzee2746 awesome ! Will do
What an incredible video, thank you Noel. This has to be one of your best. I am very familiar with MAF, having worked with them in Ghana, Burkino Faso and Indonesia. They do amazing work and facilitate a number of very worthy and important charities in the developing world. Thank you for raising awareness of them.
Amazing country. Been to kenya a couple of times. The clouds always seem to look like fairy tales. Keep it up Noel, can't wait to see more.
That was one of your best videos to date. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I used to live in Kenya and visited MAF a few times in the past. Thanks.
Amazing to hear Sam’s Northern Irish accent, in Kenya. Especially for me as I’m from Northern Ireland myself. Sounded like I was flying from my local airfield. Really Interesting Report - Definitely learned a lot from about MAF. ✈️
He is from Northern Ireland?!?
Great video, would be amazing if you could team up with Missonary Bush Pilot in Papa New Guinea one day!
That would be cool!
That guy in PNG is a legend, his channel is amazing especially for avgas geeks like us...
You can watch videos on PNG Bush Pilot's if you search Mission Aviation Fellowship South Africa, they out up a video on PNG recently (September I think). They are the organisation appearing in this video.
Noel just giving life during this COVID, we don't want to see what they offer in business class....we want to see a plane land on a runway filled with potholes!!!
And motorbikes
Fantastic. Thank you Noel . Reminds me of the RFDS (flying doctors) here in Australia. Us in the rural areas would be lost without them.
Where's the pilot from?
He's a Northern Irish accent mixed in with abit of Aussie lol
Haha he's originally from Northern Ireland and went to high school in New Zealand
How does it sound Aussie lol he sounds nothing like us
Okay, I am seriously jealous of you for this one.
7:05..The whole town had come to watch our arrival..Proceeds to show 2 people minding their own business.
I've flown with MAF a lot in east Africa. Awesome people. Both C206 and C208s all over. And yes, I've had my share of spotting to help out, including dodging one near midair over Wilson. Fun times. :)
Noel.. Wow.. I've watched every single one of your posts.. This was great.. Amazing work mate.. And still funny to hear your accent as I'm from Tamworth.. East mids as you know.. Nice work mate.. Stay safe
Amazing vlog actually quite jealous right now especially the last airport You visited with all the derelict aircraft. Proper flying in my eyes and thanks for bringing this to us roll on the next vlog
Thanks a ton!
@@noelphilips Noel you looked like you were absolutely buzzing 👏 at the end of the video. It looks incredible out there. So pretty and such a tragic area. Great job Noel 👏 ......
MAF is does great. Great opportunity Noel to go for a flight with them
I volunteered in Kenya for six months great to see the lovely Kenyan landscape again
Amazing video...it's a shame that I'm learning about MAF just now when I've lived in Kenya for most of my life 😊
Really interesting. The unsung heroes providing humanitarian services for refugees in the middle of nowhere where this must be their lifeline.
Done a Flying Safari with Safarilink in Kenya, magnificent views when the weather is right........some bouncy landings also had to clear some wildlife before we could take off....even stayed at Governers Camp(now that is posh for a Nottinghamshire lad like me)..... great days.....
MAF are an amazing organization! Phenomenal pilots and work done. Thanks for this brilliant video!
awesome vid Noel, I hope you pinch yourself everyday at some of theses incredible experiences - keep them coming ! Happy Christmas to you and yours mate
So good o MAF in action and to actually see Locichocio where we sen a container of aid so many years ago. The huge refugee camps never cease to affect me. So easy to forget how many refugees there are.
Awesome! Thinking about whether I want to serve with MAF in the future.
Hi Oscar! I LOVE MAF! Pray about it... We would love to have you reach out!
The plane registration literally means 5 Jesus... Lol! Nice one MAF.
Please change your tittle to reflect the countries. Africa is a huge continent with many countries.
As a Kenyan, I must say Marsabit is beautiful... I always assumed it was a desert over there.
Bana exactly,a hidden gem
It's nice to hear that some Africans also make this assumption, not just us Europeans.
@@exiletsj2570 It is because Northern Kenya is the remotest place in the country with marginalized communities. It so remote that local pastoralist herders own have guns there and often engage in cattle rustling that can turn deadly hence the insecurity that discourages most Kenyans from visiting those places.
Now that`s a pilot form Northern Ireland, great that he has not lost his accent, doing some fantastic work sir.
You will often see cows on the tarmac at British airports too, most of them fresh back from Benidorm.
Great flying skills, thanks for giving us such a ride Noel, love your videos mate.
Yup I thought he was from our wee country
Dont use the word tarmac, if you're into aviation use apron or stand
@@julianthomson541 Sir, I bow to your superior knowledge, is the apron not the ramp? Is a stand not a gate? These cows are dangerous creatures, they wander
about willy nilly, often intoxicated and pose a real danger, especially to single males. They often leave clues on the tarmac, sorry, apron or stand (My Bad)
These can include, broken fake nails of various colours, false eye lashes and empty bottles of cheap duty free Gin.
@@amc3 the ramp is where an aircraft is parked and the apron is in essence what flight attendants usually call the tarmac so where you would walk across after getting out if an aircraft. No problem for the mistake I just get triggered by the word sometimes
@@julianthomson541 Flight Attendants is such on old word, they not called Cabin Crew these days?
You are right. Most Kenyans have never been to the upper part of the country because that place is so remote. The majority of people live in southern part of the country because urban areas and cities developed along the old railway line from Mombasa to Kisumu and Kampala through Nairobi. To make it worse, the Northern part of the country is the driest and with poor infrastructure. But I think that all this is about to change because of the ongoing road constructions in this remote part of Kenya.
I used to fly to school with MAF in PNG - great pilots
"Sometimes I can't even find the airstrip"
Me: well, I have had nice life
Great to see you flying with MAF Noel. They do a great work. BTW, did they start the flight with a prayer?
Great vlog Noel !
Really enjoying the series
I noticed years ago that there are good Christian charities which help in African and in the States in the American Indian coummunity with development and food distribution. God bless them.
Was that Lake Naivasha at 21:30? I visited there last year and it was incredible. Riding around in a small boat with a two-stroke engine dodging hippos. What an experience.
Pastor and former potential as Presidential candidate is correct about the potential abuses in AI and IT.
Lake turkana is pronounced tuur like tool. Not tarkana
Perhaps you should see if you can do the same with MAF in PNG.
Watch this space Erin...
That’s awesome. We have friends who used to work with them. A few in fact. Other friends used to be passengers as they were taken to boarding school and back.
GREAT idea. MAF South Africa did do a video on PNG recently, it is on RUclips :)
Just came across your channel, can you please make a video on
Your gears? The camera you use, your set up, how you mount them, how you’re able to film people without them freaking out etc.
Great videos
uuh - a dash7 @minute 22:07. Have many good memories onboard on a dash7, which for many years was the workhorse here in Greenland
Woah cool are you from Greenland?
It's awesome that you got to fly with MAF I love that organization.
Great video! I love MAF!
I LOVE MAF TOO!
Great video, a completely different take on aviation, and it reminded me of the series on TV called Bush Pilots.
Cool, thanks!
@@noelphilips I just looked back in my logbook and I have about 20 hours in GGALB back in 2009
I think it's worth visiting Africa !
Great content! One small question, how do you record the headset sound? Do you split the output from the avionics and feed it as line input into some recording device?
I am a huge fan of yours!! I LITERALLY JUST ADORE YOUR VIDEOS! Much love from Cairo ❤️❤️
I’m from Saudi Arabia 😄😅🇸🇦❤️👍
Hi Noel and Merry Christmas (sic). I have been watching a lot of your videos in the past year. One question, why do you quote multiple cruising altitudes for a single flight? Just wondered how it works? Thanks.
Exactly
Beautiful landscape. It’s great to hear that in 2020 HF Shortwave radio is still being used as a backup. Is the regular flight Comm. VHF AM? It sounds very clear.
Great adventure thanks for sharing
I had the opportunity to work alongside MAF flight operations in Port Au Prince Haiti for two weeks after the 2010 Earthquake. Its was a great experience. I also used their flights to ferry from boarding school to our house in Guatemala as a Missionary Kid. Thanks for sharing.
Nice one, enjoyed the journey...
Awesome video, love your unusual adventures Noel 👍
Glad you like them!
I flew all over Uganda with MAF in 1999 doing Y2K work for the Danish Embassy. LIke you flying into really remote airstrips - almost all were gravel, and in the centre of towns. We carried a generator with us due to potential power cuts at the destination.
Do the MAF pilots still perform a prayer before take-off? Was a bit worrying the first time I heard it. Great organisation though.
I've flown with MAF in Tanzania....Great People...doing a great job.
So you flew on the flight deck of a regional airliner? Cool! I was on the flight deck for the landing of a 747-300 in Perth for Qantas in 1994. That was back when those things were still possible, before 9/11! My dad kept asking them for me, and the third time they said yes!
Noel, you're doing a good job by letting us know about MAF. The video is great too which shows lovely Kenyan scenery from above.
Great stuff Noel, hope you are enjoying your adventures. Pilot was really cool and engaging.
Awesome flight Noel! Great background music :))
Great video and really awesome experience!!! / Regards from Cyprus :)
This is awesome. It reminds me of a show (I can't remember the name) that would do the same for remote communities in Indonesia.
I believe you are referring to “Worst place to be a pilot”. I loved that show!
@@theintrovertadventurer9640 That's it! Wished there was more shows like that
Susi Air😂😂
Marsabit is not a village. It is along Isiolo Moyale highway. Next time travel by vehicle so that you have the right information.
This guy really have an attitude. Too much condenscending..
What an amazing experience Noel. Yet again another informative and educational video!
Great video. I will be on the top of Mt Kenya in four weeks' time....
Good luck! Why not mount Kilmanjaro though
@@Ankunda717 mt Kilimanjaro might be the highest buh it can't match the beauty of the great mt Zion ...mt kenya
@@josephmwangi5644 I climbed it in 2012
@@jakartaharpman hope Yu enjoyed everything...tht mountain is just a combination of beauty
Another awesome video.. stunning scenery that stretches for miles, beautiful shots flying through the clouds above lush greenery.. so fascinating to see the remote communities and that immense refugee camp. Really brought home how important aviation is in this immense and diverse world. Your content gets better and better Noel! Wishing you, Rach and the family a very happy and peaceful Christmas 👍
Thank you so much 😀 Yes and to you as well
This is brilliant work, as a Kenyan, i have never even been that far North... thank you Noel
Trust you Enjoyed my beautiful country Kenya.
When you're in Africa doing humanitarians missions it puts things in perspective
Brilliant video - brilliant organization. Gods love in action.
i love your content noel! can’t wait until the long videos like around the world in 80 hours styled videos return. those are my favourite.
Me too
Hi from NZ. Great video Noel. So cool to see a place we usually don’t get to see.
?
Only a Brit could think of Duty Free.
I would know an Norn Irish accent anywhere! Cool video, beautiful country
01:39 that control tower looks just like the control tower here in Trivhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, Nepal 🇳🇵 and an amazing video too
Both are probably Chinese.
@@AndrewTubbiolo its nepali over here
I hope you realize how fortunate you are
Thanks Noel
184,000 people in one camp. Jesus
Great video Noel really enjoyed it
The Caravan Aircraft are used extensively in Alaska. I flew into Entebbe, Uganda from Juba, Sudan in 1972.
That Refugee Camp was staggering. Enormous number of refugees. How can Africa ever take care of itself?
Really enjoying your videos!
Keep up the great content Noel thanks for the new African videos!!
Glad you like them!
What is the airport at 2:48
Also, does anybody notice that the reg on Noel's headphones do not match the aircraft?
Edit: The Andover at the airport has been around the block a few times with two different air forces
super interesting content!
Did you buy the pilot a coffee?
Looks like you had 1 heck of a trip to Kenya Noel... #TRY NEW THINGS!!!
Great video noel, loving the African series! Also really great to acknowledge the work the MAF do! Thanks for the great content! Looking for to the next one. Happy Christmas to your family.
one of your better ones.
Terminal building at Marsabit would certainly give Luton a run for its money
Notice the very missionary aircraft registration number: 5Y-ESU.
Great Noel, thanks for sharing. You slotted in so well with MAF, a brilliant and honest organisation.
I flew in one their new Daher Kodiak 100. Great experience. Jet A fueled turbo prop.
What an incredible adventure. I used to arrange student travel groups to Kenya and would love to visit there someday. So enjoyed this video!
Try the fastest train in Africa that’s in Morocco 🇲🇦
Utterly wholesome content
Rendille village.... fractals in traditional African architecture
Fabulous really enjoyed that
If you get the chance go visit Ghana its also a wonderful place
Hi noel are you going to any other countries in Africa other than Kenya
Great content keep it up Noel best in class. You could be grounded for a while in the UK
Is your pilot from Northern Ireland Noel?
This could be a career for you Noel instead of flying business and first class
