DRC DIARIES ep.3 - Flying the Dash 8 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo | United Nations Flying

[@R1S609]

No aviation comment... just totally agree how living in certain cultures changes you. I traveled lots around India and it really changed how I viewed my impact on the world. I appreciate the little things SO much more.

[@victorochieng1310]

Welcome to Kenya! I wish to be your local tour guide!

[@richc47us]

Your life will never be the same. the richness and diversity of life around the world is amazing. Makes you appreciate all life not just where you live or have lived. You are now not a citizen of Canada, You're a citizen of the world. When You return back "home", Your outlook on life and the world around you won't be the same. When I traveled throughout China, Eastern Asia and Mongolia, there were challenges, yes, but then I was humbled to a point that it's hard to discuss these experiences with people in the Western world who have so much. All the best Emilie!

[@Pilotemilie]

I love that Rich! I agree with you so much!! It's honestly the reason why I love travelling so much - it always humbles you and teaches you so much! Thanks for sharing :)

[@gmazige]

Flying in DRC is Amazing because of the adrenaline rush. I have flown to all the Airfields that you have mentions and boy you are spot on. I am Ugandan and I have been flying Cessna Caravans in Congo since 2017. It’s such an Amazing beautiful country.

[@matracosolutions5113]

So is Uganda :)

[@petertarantelli]

That volcano hike was amazing! I had no idea what to expect in this video and then you got to the top and, oh my god, there’s a lava lake just 1,500 feet down! And it was cold where you were, when you weren’t at the edge trying to warm up that is. Stunning still photos of the lava lake and your silhouette. Well done. The mission you were carrying out was truly humanitarian. I’ve never been to nor experienced anything like that, abject poverty, children begging by the side of the road. I cannot imagine that experience NOT changing you - or anyone for that matter. The things we take for granted, they see as precious gifts - clean water, food, safety, schools. Thank you for sharing Emilie!

[@Pilotemilie]

Absolutely agree - I had those exact thoughts regarding what we take for granted. Thanks Peter! :)

[@Sammy_M1K]

Such a beautiful lady, beautiful personality, and a pilot, what an absolute win this was. Thank you for sharing this amazing journey. I am in the U.S. Navy and have seen some countries very similar to the DRC, it definitely changes you. It's crazy how many things we take for granted because they are right around the corner, or a google search away and yet in places like the DRC you have kids who don't even know if they are going to eat that day. I really puts things in perspective. Keep up this fantastic content, it was such an amazing story, I feel like I was there with you. Keep up that fantastic smile also, it's sensational :)

[@mwachharo5189]

Wow. I've watched a few of your videos so far and this one truly impressed me. You are indeed amazing.

[@steelepls]

New subscriber who is really enjoying your videos. You have a great on camera presence and it seems so natural for you. I was stationed in Hawaii for three years before heading over to Vietnam and we often hiked around Kiluaea volcano on the Big Island. On my way to Vietnam I went thru Jungle School in Panama and saw how poor many of the folks were and add to that over 27 years in the Army, saw the same thing in Haiti, Turkey and many other nations which makes me thank the Good Lord that I was born in the USA. It shows you have a good heart to be willing to go somewhere to help folks you do not know. I have been blessed to have done that more than once myself. Keep up the good work ma'am and God bless.

My heart is fly with you ,you are amazing emilie

[@skydance8017]

Emilie, that's an amazing feet of accomplishment! to be able to climb that volcano! Those were great pictures too! I climbed a mountain just yesterday that looks like it was an old volcano (one side has features that resemble a crater), it's a Tertiary Rhyolitic Volcanic Intrusion, the summit is 8150', but it's nothing like the one you climbed...lol Those are touching and very precious life lessons that you've observed, and about the connections and the relationships that developed from your ventures, thanks for sharing that! I feel that traveling is one of the greatest teachers, maybe it should be a requirement for everyone, so we can learn about what's really important in this life, and also to learn to have sympathy and compassion for our fellow man. I love that you're not so superficial, I've learned through this video (as I suspected from my first impression) that there's a genuine heart of benevolence and compassion within you. I'm really impressed Emilie! What a rarity! It's so lacking in our world! Thank you! You're a beautiful soul and a breath of fresh air!

[@Pilotemilie]

Thank you :). I also agree that travel seriously can rock your world & humble the heck out of you. Thanks for the kind words

[@skydance8017]

@@Pilotemilie You are not kidding! You are so welcome!

[@samb3706]

Flying in an environment devoid of the ATC and multiple navaids while experiencing rapid weather changes helps to really build your skills as a pilot and critical thinker. You develop the ability to read the little, subtle changes in your environment; and apply them to your piloting actions as required. Many pilots today need this experience to hone their stick and rudder skills. You will carry those skills forward forever. Best wishes to you, Emilie.

[@Pilotemilie]

Thanks Sam!! So sweet & I agree! I'm glad my short experience only helped me in the long run :)

[@howietraining]

Wonderful story, loved the comments about the environment and how it changed you,

[@galas455]

I loved your thoughtfulness of others that live in poverty, not everyone is aware. I did enjoy your talks about flying such as radio work, navigating etc. How about future videos that focus on flying and the environment you find yourself in . . . where ever that is. Thanks Em

[@Pilotemilie]

Thanks Martin! Never too late! :)

[@adrees4u]

I have recently been watching videos on most dangerous roads in the world. The series is titled "Deadliest Roads" and mostly features roads in African countries. But It also tells stories of individuals and families about their tough routines and difficulties in life. Only after watching that series makes us realise how privileged and blessed we are as compared to those poor and deprived people. there is no doubt that people in that part of the world live in most inhuman conditions. It really feels like our necessities are their luxuries. So that is really a great lesson from your tour of Africa as well. Time well spent.

[@Pilotemilie]

I think I've watched one of those as well!! So cool. I agree with you, thanks for sharing Muhammad!

Awesome videos! I spent one month in Kisangani (DRC) and it changed my life. Sometimes we don't value simple things that a lot of people in this planet don't have, and may never have.

[@nali7386]

Really impressive and amazing jouney from the perspective of a flight captain. The important bits are to visit places and to have a close contact with local people is priceless. This shows how important is to understand culture, way of living, language barrier and losing the comfort of own home and realise how lucky we are living in the western world. It breaks my heart when you see the differences. Emilie ur are a kind hearted person, down to earth and a sociable kind human being. You couldn't have to go through all the hardships but you did It in the most innovative way. You have a successful career but still thinking of others. Wish everyone follow your suit then perhaps some difference can be made. Many people just go and enjoy themselves ; you did both by not only being adventurous but to have that important human contact be humble appreciate what we have and HOW poor people in Africa suffer for just basic amenities they are entitled to at least but the contrary to. Hope all of us follow ur suite and pass the message of humanity in such a beautiful way. Waiting to hear more from you really enjoying every single bits.

Nice video. I am from Goma and hiked that volcano a few years ago. It's very impressive indeed. And thanks for promoting the site. Tourists are very much welcome in Goma. Hiking Nyiragongo isn't easy but doable as porters can assist some who need help. But it's tough. I drank like 20L of water and lost quite some weight. Thanks

[@trevmacc]

loved these videos moved to Africa when i was 3 months old and lived there for 15 years so know what's its like, been to a lot of those places you were at, Africa is a lovely place, even though i only there 15 years i still love the country, enjoy all your other videos

[@krazykorean35]

Loved your Congo videos. I've worked for several NGOs in Eastern DRC for over 12 years mostly in Goma. I love flying in Dash 8s... The hum of the props while doing the pitch angle adjustment while leveling off is a nice sound though. Goma is great though, always coming in 35 and taking off 17... Several times on the Mi8 helis we've flown right over Nyragongo and Nyamuragira, and able to peek inside. Cool channel and thanks for sharing about your time here!

Late to this series but what an amazing life changing experience...I envy you for the opportunity and thank you for sharing it.

[@Sorarse]

Agree with how experience of circumstantial differences can change your view of life. In the past I have visited places like Tangiers in Morocco, and New Delhi in India, and despite neither of these being particularly poor when compared with other areas of their respective countries, the evidence of poverty and suffering when viewd through a westerner's eyes is still humbling and thought provoking.

[@Pilotemilie]

The thought provoking is what grows you, no matter the circumstances. Glad you understand it! :)

[@christoh711]

Wow! It's great that you got to experience a whole new world and see how the other half lives. I've not climbed any volcanoes nor met gorillas in the mists, but I used to travel a lot for work and yes, I totally agree that the experiences definitely shape your future and stories such as yours help inform my world view too, so thank you very much for that! (I used to work in a hotel that catered to aircrew and they would share their experiences about flying and dealing with passengers. I don't know how they'd do it day in, day out. Hats off to anyone in that industry - or any service industry, really.)

Glad to hear that!! :)

[@victoirembayo9241]

As someone who grew up in DRC and who’s currently in South Africa and who’s looking at flying in Canada, I absolutely loved this miniseries. It was so refreshing to watch an aviation story that I could relate to. The storytelling was good that I found everything short. 😂😂😂 And I’ve always wanted to fly a Dash-8 since I hold a Commercial Pilot License. Encore merci pour ça. ❤️

[@Pilotemilie]

Nice episodes, Emilie and very well said! We are so fortunate to live in different world. I spent some time coming in and out of Djibouti and I know exactly what you were talking about. Wish you to get back flying ASAP!

[@davemcp]

Haha. As an Australian the whole “I flew 15 hours” brought a chuckle. I “climbed” on the volcano on tana island in Vanuatu when I was a teenager. Pretty neat experience. Nothing like the effort you put in though! Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@Pilotemilie]

ahahah my partner says the same!! (he's Aussie). Vanuatu must have been so cool!! I watched a video saying it's one of the most remote countries to visit in the world?! That's so cool you've been...

[@ThatCodeBlue]

Great work, my friend. I agree, Bamako in that time period would have been too risky. As far as volcanoes, my experience has very little comparison but driving from the valley on Maui to the top of Haleakala was very much worth it. Roughly 20 feet ASL to being above 10000 feet was interesting for sure. I have never seen a place where the stark difference in what amount of material goods equates to happiness to what we have in the US or Canada. As a very highly empathic person, that would effect me quite a lot. Introspective thinking would result in a lot of tears for sure. All in all, great job. ☺️proud Patreon☺️

[@Pilotemilie]

Yayy! Thank you!! Glad you agree - need more empathetic people in the world like you!

[@ThatCodeBlue]

Pilot Emilie At times it’s tough to believe it but it’s actually a gift to have a very highly tuned conscience. We are ridiculously bad liars. We feel guilty for saying no. We let others’ needs keep us up at night. We feel we’ve let others down if we can’t solve their problem. Am I on target?

[@zolamatingu9135]

Very nice for sharing. This is awesome.

[@sirarchie1860]

I fully understand and feel what you said. During travel I saw people in Cambodia sleeping on the streets, a whole family. It changes you and makes you appreciate what you have even more. I always knew how much luck I had, but it's one thing to say that and another to really experience it and see with your own eyes.

[@erictaylor5462]

I have hikes Mt. Shasta and Mt. St. Helens, but the toughest hike I've done was from rim to river to rim at the Grand Canyon. It took me a lot longer than I expected and my friends called the rangers. The guy sent to find me was really pissed off, expecting to find me by the river. Turned out he was happy to find me 1/2 mile from the rim. He was really surprised an amputee had completed the hike.

[@Zaephrax]

Another example of nature at its finest, it is amazing how the intense heat of the lava and the exposire of the volcano's peak can come together to form an environment that is both hot and cold at the same time! I got to see a few volcanoes in the early 2000s when I was on a family holiday in Lanzarote, we went on a guided tour where we all sat on the back of camels that were roped together and my camel stumbled and almost fell down the slope (fun times); but it was a brilliant experience. The tour guide would pour water into geysers to set them off and watch the more timid tourists jump a mile. Did you have to be the pilot on your way back, or do you just not sleep well on planes?

[@Pilotemilie]

That's so cool - Lanzarote!! Must have been a dream. The aircraft that bring us overseas are much much larger planes - the Dash 8 would have to make numerous stops & would take a week to do so!

[@Zaephrax]

That makes sense, hadn't quite thought of how much shorter the dash 8's range was compared to the larger aircraft, though a week of near-continuous flying sounds like many pilots' dream (maybe not so much while being as tired as you were)

[@abrarmahirniloy9316]

It was great to watch the video. I have spent 4 years in Entebbe and I finished high school there. My Dad used to be the Deputy Chief Air Operation officer in Entebbe. I moved to Toronto last year for college. I have also been to Kinshasa, DRC and I understand what you're saying.
