French Skies Adventure: Flying Across France in a Bristell B23🛩️✨

[@gary5481]

It's about time. You've been MIA for too long & have deprived us of a very informative & entertaining channel. Welcome back. So far you have 6 likes & the video hasn't even aired yet. I was wondering whether you might be back in SA for the summer?

[@rockythesquid]

Very nice to see you both again. 11:33 "How the turns have tabled" ... a nice turn of phrase.😉

[@sebinamuwanga]

Yes, I heard that. Very interesting!

[@theafricanflyer]

Great catching you online again, with these very well laid out videos. Love the permanent good mood. 😎

[@ashikihsan1946]

Hello Bambi, Meeting you in a long time. I like your great flying by in the French skies with your partner by Bristell B23 Aircraft to your home in Holland. Enjoy your flying Bambi

[@GaryLaaks1]

Nice to see another vid from Pilot Bambi. Looks beautiful over there. Merry Christmas and be safe.

[@gorannilsson8319]

Lovely to have you both back - Thanks - I wish you a Happy New Year

[@mirceacebotari6805]

Thank you for sharing radio communication with ATC. I'm planning to fly from Portugal to France for the first time and it's always good to hear from someone flying through France

[@tareklarbi7168]

Thank for such refreshing and good vibes during these sad times of war 🙏💐🕊

[@peteralexander5377]

What a great pleasure to see you / all of you again. Wonderful flight in the best weather, even if the air was sometimes bumpy. Great adventure with French flair, your loving family and the nice dog. Cool airplane, stopover to pee, the best thing is the rousing, heart-warming mood in all your videos. Many thanks for that! Always happy landings.

[@PureGlide]

Awesome, our gliding club has ordered a Bristell as a tow plane, should be getting it in June! Exciting

[@michaelanderberg]

So happy to see you guys back online again! Thanks for sharing the trip!

[@vostok6984]

I'm glad to see you and your friend again. Good luck and easy landing.

[@patrickwahle6280]

Just want to mention Le Touquet is on the northern coast of France and not on the western coast. It’s not on the Ocean but on the sea. The name is Manche (English Channel).

[@edwardhazelden6424]

Le Touquet is one of the closest French airports to England, so a lot of British GA pilots fly there as their first international flight and apparently the lunch is Great. Also you can't beat Masai Shukas for picnic blankets 😊

[@matheo9246]

been flying to AT quite a few times ! great place to eat lunch and very friendly staff at the bike rental place ! landing fee is just a bit expensive imo

[@brucekendall52]

Your energy brings so much joy to a persons day.Thks.

[@Johnsen72]

Your videos are super amazing, Bambi. Love the way you share your love of aviation mixed with humor, food, family- just awesome! Keep making these joyful videos, thanks and happy landings!

[@christophheimburge5488]

Feels like another christmas prensent for me to watch you flying guys. Thanks for sharing and your good vibes. ✈️🤌🏽

[@dennisk5180]

You're back. It reminds me of the great journey you guys made from the Netherlands to South Africa in the Sling.

[@Novadean1]

Greeding from south Germany Bavaria " Niederbayern " thanks for sharing have fun.

[@ltdowney]

“Look at ze castle, j’adore” 😂

[@skyfivehd643]

That was a perfect video, very funny to watch you landing at LTQ and can't wait to see other videos from you with the Caravan ^^^^!

[@49Mack]

Always great to see you both!! Looking forward to anything you post, Rosita!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!Thanks!!

[@ericgardner3020]

Great to see you two flying! Awesome video!

[@GroterRonald]

Heel mooi, bedankt!

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

14:52 PERFECT landing. 🙂

[@marcdochler585]

Such a pity I missed you.I am based in Colmar.You are always very inspirating in your aventures.Maybe one of these days...

[@davidsouthcott1564]

Great to have you back - it has been too long

[@MauricetePas]

0:37 Zo cool dat jullie ook het departure bord staan. Logisch eigenlijk, maar toch.

[@lucypretorius972]

My South African couple from another mother ... love you guys

[@midlifeflyer]

I have flown and taught in the similar SportCruiser with the same canopy in the sun problem. There are stick on shades, but my best solution has been an in-ear headset so I can wear a big floppy hat!

[@zagi2007]

So delightful!

[@ld5954]

OMG!!! It's really you?? We've missed you!😢

[@PilotBambi]

Hihi it sure is!! Been very busy with my helicopter commercial license, so not much time to film or edit!! So sorry for the radio silence❤

[@Lanaman400]

A great video adventure

[@julioserrano8730]

Great to see you guys again. Amazing views. The plane looks great. Nicely Done. Happy holidays to u and your families. :)

[@isapat3]

I note that the autonomy of the B23 is greater than that of Bambi!!!🤣🤣 very happy to see you again on the channel. Patrick LFPO👍👍✈️✈️

[@jimcripps3612]

Great to se you back in the saddle! See you still have your air conditioned jeans. Maybe I should send you a few pairs of my faded but still whole ones? They'll fit! Regards, Jim the Brit in NI UK

[@gregslaven813]

I am not going to lie...my favorite part of this video was watching you run to "air-pee!" The human factor can sometimes cause a problem in life!!!!!!

[@footey7670]

Welcome back !!! Nice to see another vid 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦

[@PilotBambi]

Thanks 👍

[@ShaunPC]

The Bristell has the best seats!

[@robinmccarthy9435]

Great to see you back again. I am watching from New Zealand. This flight brings back memories of a flight I made (as pilot) from Toussus le Noble (Paris) tracking to Le Touqet then Clacton and on to Norwich in a Piper Seneca. And another flight where I stopped in Leylestat on my way to Italy in a Thorpe T211.

[@IGGI4U]

Looking forward to it! Pick me up in Belgium as you pass by on your way to France! Then I fly while you sleep! 😊

[@iain8837]

Great video, right over my house on the Aare at 1:57 under the left wing.

[@terrybc7004]

Thanks for taking us along on another wonderful flight. Hope you both can make it to Vancouver British Columbia Canada C-YVR one day. Have a Merry Christmas you guys! Look forward to more ride alongs in 2024

[@Julio-rk7qw]

Wow .wonderful

[@lethungidi9879]

🇿🇦 🎉anticipation is killing me. Let’s go😊

[@garytovey4711]

Really enjoyed the video. Just qualified on the Ultra Light and flying the Bristell. Your video has filled me with inspiration to get out there and fly. Good job.

[@QUICHENOTTES]

Thank you - Le Touquet (Paris Plage) is not located in the West of France but in the North ! It's not the ocean but the English Channel. Redraw the map because the Atlantic Ocean is located far and to the south.

[@PedroThePortuguesePilot]

Wassup everybody! So I've had the pleasure of flying this airplane as well, and I confirm all of the above. Very good performance overall but especially on climbing, gives you engine power when you need it, the interior is amazing and very up-to-date. It´s actually as good as it gets. Even though the auto-pilot doesn't include auto throttle, its still an amazing autopilot for a plane of this size and category. Very agile due to the low wing, and you get to see everything due to the glass fibre canopy. Also its got a very silent engine. Good job

[@AMB955Bosbok]

Sooo cool to see you back. Thanks for the great content as always. Back to SA soon I hope.

[@stefanturtschi2309]

Hi Cool Video. I fly the Bristell also in Switzerland. My Homebase is Bern. It was a Amazing Airplane and also the Avionics are great. Have nice Flights and let me know if you plan a Flight to Bern. Maybe see you soon. Happy landings.

[@johnsutton7403]

Great plane.❤

[@walterweigert9840]

Hey Rosita, wellcome back! I missed you! Nice journey both of you took us along, so thank you for that. As always, cheers from NE Patagonia, Argentina and BTW: Marry Xmas and a HNY to you, your family and friends. I hope I see you more sooner than later.

[@francoduplooy4407]

That looked like loads of fun and like a nice aircraft. How does it compare to the sling?

[@PocketProjects]

Great video again guys! You add such a great vibe to all of your travelogs . . . looking forward to another of your epic round the world journeys 😀🤞🏿ps . . . If you had to choose would it be the Sling or the Bristell?? 🤔

[@kris4897]

Nice, well done.

[@koehf405]

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. thanks

[@MrSpiritUAll]

Even een blokje om ❤🛫

[@jackrolfson312]

Is glad to see you back. Do you ever have to clear customs going into another country?

[@Kamikaziidare]

Welcome back, greetings from South Africa. Amazing how clear radio comms are on your channel compared to some USA channels, I’m not sure if it is just the recording or are comms generally better in RSA and Europe compared to the USA. As an ex-ATC I often think I wouldn’t cope well with such poor quality RT Comms. Next year, God willing, my wife and I move to the Western Cape near Gansbaai, you two should come visit the area again.

[@AN_Vocabulary]

Welcome back 😊

[@therustypilot3452]

I have that some autopilot. it rocks!

[@pedropeladoni5477]

❤thanks amen ❤

[@rolffluri6248]

great

[@christianfensbo6980]

The Bristell is so easy to fly 😊

[@nigelappleton2963]

Great catching you again but where have you been for the past 3 months?

[@dabneyoffermein595]

Love to see you guys up in the Turbo version of the B23, perhaps you already have in another video?, but I believe the Turbo can get you to about 150 KTAS Vh

[@McGyverPilot]

France with their superior transportation system observing your plane: "Idiots!" 😅

[@gerarugarteche948]

Increíble aún es mí sueño 😊

[@CabdiqaniMaxamuud-s6g]

Sho ilike this video so much captain bambi

[@markbennett9043]

Squat and dribble.lol Then the video of french bakery .very jealous

[@RemcovanR]

Wow! Jullie staan naast een Fanjet 600 en schenken er geen seconde aandacht aan...?

[@johanswart1257]

Great video, a great plane, lots of fun, you guys rock. when do u go back to South Africa again?

[@rickbarrington]

The aircraft looks like a smaller Diamond DA-20, in so many ways .. low wing canopy, stick, glass cockpit … thoughts?

[@marjoleindeleeuw294]

Leuke video! Ik ben momenteel mijn PPL aan het halen op (oa) de PH-YLW (staat nu op EHEH) dus heel herkenbaar! :) Ndege nzuri! ;)

[@TGAV8]

Awesome video

[@theflyingfrog]

We’ve missed you guys! Nice French accent Bambi… a flying frog approves 😜😂. By the way you don’t pronounce the “t” at the end of Le Touquet…

[@oscarroelants3975]

Has been a while. Good to see you both back and when you fly over france please next time refuel in Nevers or Moulins and i will pick you both up for a BBQ ;)

[@SPXNO]

Hi, what do you have in mind with your Heli-License ? Would also like to see you doing more type-ratings on fixed wing, just asking ! Your are a great family, love it 👍👍👍👍

[@DanFrederiksen]

Sling should make composite certified planes instead of sheet and rivet kits. It's just better

[@achimotashrek762]

Great video enjoyed it. This must have been filmed some months back when it was high summer in Europe. Why so long to upload?

[@gordva3007]

Excellent video. Would you be able to compare the bristell vs the sling 2.

[@datzfain]

best French beer is a Belgium one :))

[@pe2aab]

Nice! En nu staat de YLW op onze vliegclub ;-)

[@Julio-rk7qw]

Wow asome

[@JustTravelJT]

Hey Bambi 👋 🪽 found your channel again ❤

[@george76ism]

Люблю Ваши видео❤😍

[@martysana]

Nice video, I never thought of people in small planes peeing hhaha, jokes you can just find a runway and run out quick lol

[@SB546NJ]

Great video! How did you find the visibility over the nose? I'm 5'4" and wondering

[@valval7506]

Great video ! Please tell me what application do you use to navigate

[@0-0-s3i]

I have a maybe stupid question but when flying do you have to stick to a strict straight path or can you ever for example, fly through mountains or over a beach? just curious :)

[@r_raymakukula97]

Waiting for adventure

[@EtiRats]

Nice mission, bravo! Coming out of Switzerland (non EU) in a PH reg aircraft are there any customs formalities flying in to France?

[@michaelrabie1833]

Awesome! How do the Bristol compare with the Sling?

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Can I ask Bambi if your dad is a pilot ? Love the plane. It's slick and beautiful. 👍😊🇮🇪

[@janwillemsmeenk7234]

Well, I'm the dad and a private pilot. But I must admit that my skills and experience are not on the level of Pilot Bambi 😊

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Hello Jan,, thanks for your reply. I don't work in aviation but I love anything to do with planes. 👍😊🇮🇪🇳🇱

[@AAvD88]

Hehe ik moest twee keer nadenken…is ze lid geworden van EACm? (YLW is sinds januari 2023 in ons bezit)

[@arnoldsimmerle8852]

❤❤❤

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

Merry Christmas from Sydney Australia. I'm wondering about refuelling the Bristel from the off airport gas station? Was it for cost or fuel quality? 🌏🇭🇲🌲

[@RosssRoyce]

Aw so you’re here now? Are you passing through LFBR?

[@Tex-cf2zl]

hi guys, few questions... How much cost that plane by now? what is the average fuel consumption and speed you achieve? Thanks guys!

[@Pilot2315]

Why is the chute still locked and secured? be safe 6:52
