DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE WITH NAMIBIAN ATC!

It was time to move further North and head toward Ibenstein Namibia. Travis and I decided we wanted to visit Windhoek Eros, Namibia's airport in the capital and catch a taxi to the famous Joe's Beer House. Whilst we did end up making it to the restaurant, it took a lot more energy than we'd hoped for.
We learned valuable lessons for future visits and will make sure to brief a little more in depth when visiting airfields in a different country because it is more than likely the rules are slightly different.

New subscriber from USA..Michigan....your flights are awesome and the scenery and countryside in South Africa is beautiful. ....I too am a pilot and I wish I could live and fly in your country.....

[@ThomasMarrow]

If ever you are in South Africa, let me know!

[@nottoolatetofly371]

Well done guys! New country, new and confusing rules. The radio static didnt help either. You flew the plane, you didnt panic. You did great.

[@ThomasMarrow]

I can't tell you how stressful and frustrating it is when you can't hear someone telling you what to do on the radio...

Great job guys! Confusion at a new airport is never a great feeling. You handled it like a champion.

[@ThomasMarrow]

Biggest take away for sure is that ATC wants to help you

There's nothing like a touch of crisis management to help flavour the evening beer. Great trip, looks stunning. Have I seen that Zonkey somewhere else? 😉

[@ThomasMarrow]

Haha the famous Mariental Zonkey or Zorse... not so sure haha

Great video. Nice to see ZU-ICP in the background there. I did my tail wheel rating on here a few years ago.
