Bush flying all over Namibia! (INCREDIBLE)

Join us for a grand tour and amazing adventure around Namibia as Gabe kicks off his video series in the country with Westair and FlyNamibia Safaris, which specializes in bush flights to remote corners of this country (which is truly spectacular and unlike anything else!)
To get a real taste of what it's like here Gabe joined up with a Cessna 208 Caravan and its friendly crew for their entire day of operations, flying in a diamond pattern out of Windhoek Eros Airport, down to Keerweerder/Sossusvlei, over to Swakopmund, up to Ongava and then to Windhoek Hosea Kutako, the international gateway, before a lovely ten-minute flight at just a few thousand feet above the ground back to Eros Airport in town, where the day started. See the many varied landscapes of Namibia along the way and get some insight into how this operation is conducted with plenty of aviation focus including cockpit and ATC audio on some of the sectors.
FlyNamibia Safaris will soon be making its safari shuttle service a daily offering, flying in a clockwise direction so that customers can hop around the country to various camps and lodges You can check out their offering here: flynam.com/fly...

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!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thank you so much!

[@jameslovestokyo]

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.

[@pedrofernandes1152]

Namibia for me the best country of the world

[@Lions-Pride-Dominion]

😊We are honoured and blessed to be born and bred here♥️🇳🇦. Welcome to Namibia 🇳🇦 Land of the brave

[@davidwoodward7871]

What a great day Gabe had to showcaae Namibia and it's amazing scenery, and it was so good to have the close up of the cockpit and chatting to the aircrew. Well done Gabe (you lucky guy!)

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevekirk8546]

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.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

It really is!

[@jamessmitka8066]

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

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thank you Jim!

[@kwluth]

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!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thanks a lot!

[@danielturner4480]

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.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

That’s very cool!

[@mistermemory]

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!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😄

[@theafricanflyer]

Cooooooll. Amazing journey. Namibia 🇳🇦 it's an absolute marvel. You're a lucky guy.

[@lancevanceandfriends7091]

Follow many aviation channels as a student pilot myself And after 2 videos of this channel already my favourite and best channel iv watched !! Love the content mate From Australia 🇦🇺

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thank you very much, that means a lot!

[@iphoneupdate]

Makes me homesick

[@christianbouwer8052]

My Home country.....Love it!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Was so great to finally see it!

[@wingnut2245]

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!!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thank you!

[@gregepps4710]

I so miss Namibia 😢

[@willem-henridenhartog1722]

Great view from above of one of the greatest countries we lived

[@hockeyprobritin]

All the flight sim nerds are happy that you put the ICAO codes for the airports. We would have found them regardless, but nice cherry on top! Great video too!

[@kianroberson8154]

Wow so proud of Kayla as a female captain!! 🎉😮

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

🥳😎

[@rogerconroy217]

Lady pilots are absolutely unremarkable in bush flying. It's completely normal to be flown around by a girl just a couple of years out of high school.

[@oswaldogoncalves7760]

Always awesome to watch planes featured from an operator I work for❤✈

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

👍👍

[@JenniferinIllinois]

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..

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

😊

[@garypocklington3396]

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!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Yes we love variety! 😄

[@temporarynoble]

Nice film, thanks Gabe

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Glad you liked it!

[@whylowy]

Yessssddd!!! More videos like thisss

[@peterjakubik]

This could be super cool to watch with apple vision or similar glasses

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Ooh nice idea!

[@dhmacher]

Epic outro!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

😂

[@Befetti]

I thought that the Pilbara is dry and desolate; this is a whole other story. Good job!

[@johndonald3566]

Good to see you're doing well Louis. No longer reporting over new beginnings dam 😎

[@cornishdiaspora918]

great video

[@SkyPilotXSX]

That outro 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it 👊🏽🙏🏽

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Sometimes you just nail it 😁

[@doepieduplessis7163]

Thanx for sharing, I enjoyed all the scenery...!!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Herero_flama]

My home country 🎉

[@lenzeandi4203]

🥹very nice Video. Know the landscape from the road. Need to Go there again

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thanks 👍

[@tshepo7953]

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 😊

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

My pleasure!!

[@101Faith10]

Finally 🇳🇦

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

🥳

[@oj4249]

Dream job

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Yes!

[@johnlester5352]

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.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

True!

[@Hoekstes]

Lekker Namibië!

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Lekker!

[@teddy_123.]

NICE

[@koba0798]

cool

[@nordicexpat]

You couldnt see Ongava lodge!😢 i've been there like 15years ago❤

[@wyler9290]

Can you please visit the bush flying in Maun Botswana it’s amazing

[@Peolwane]

Video at 1:36-1:42 Those E145 are for Air Botswana I see they not yet painted The all white being prepared is in Gaborone

[@slikden]

What an amazing feeling seeing the planes I work on, on KZbin. AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEER HERE.

[@SquawkVFR1981]

Why does the captains wears 3 strips iso 4?

[@kaylamilne7940]

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

[@SquawkVFR1981]

@ thanks! First time I saw this. At my airline the Captain holds 4 and the FO 3 stripes. Have a nice day

[@Jd33.aviation]

When will you return to Venezuela?
