BUSH FLYING IN AFRICA | KNYSNA

A start to a series that hopefully gets you out to the beautiful destinations that both South Africa and the rest of Africa have to offer. Throughout the series we will explore incredible scenery, visit popular airstrips and locations accessible bush aircraft.
I was not able to rely on such resources when trying to find all the places to go flying. Stop only flying around the patch or going for a breakfast, get out and explore the beauty that South Africa and the rest of Africa has to offer!
Follow me on Instagram for more up to date and in detail references of all the trip I will be doing in the near future.

No idea why I said Atlantic Ocean… it is the Indian!! I grew up here and should have picked up this mistake 🤦🏻‍♂️ KZbin presenting isn’t getting any easier 😂

[@milesbrown8016]

Awesome. Well done

[@liamcostello4774]

lol, had a hard time listening to first 2 minutes after that comment.

[@danhayward9186]

Glad you are the pilot not the navigator

[@ultimoketchup3299]

I live in knysna and I'm obsessed with bush planes, I had no idea there was a bush plane community in this area. Maybe you should do a video talking about the cost of owning a bush plane in South Africa

[@ruarkbothma2347]

You are truly living my dream!! Could you give some specs on your plane?

[@Widewings748]

Fantastic Thomas…. Beautiful flying scenery and looking forward to more content. I was just a little worried you’d meet a seagull at low level over the water😬 happy flying 😎

[@joseruiz-Joecool]

Nice!!! Can't wait for the rest of the series!!!!

[@nigellees9978]

Glad you picked up your error. Difficult navigating if you thought that was the Atlantic!

[@bensteyn1974]

Hi from Thailand! Can't wait for the series...

[@jacquesmoller3757]

Oh yes! Looking forward to the rest...

[@ruarkbothma2347]

Please come and visit the Northern Cape.

[@ClearedAsFiled]

Thomas, your country is beautiful....thank you for the great trip....greetings from USA

[@gordonknight]

In future episodes will yoù be providing a bit more information about the airfields too?

[@rohanscott6813]

Please! I second that. Doing my ppl here.

[@ThomasMarrow]

Yes! Plan is to add more in depth info in the following videos

[@Aviation_crazy]

Excellent offering, looking forward to following the series. Your camera set up is great. I fly with 1x GoPro and it's not as nice as yours(maybe my GoPro is old). Nice to see the DSLR included. Maybe you can include something about your aircraft, something like an introduction to her, I see she's got a nice landing gear, but i don't know anything about specialized Alaskan Gear.

[@ivorevans1795]

Great idea for a series Can’t wait! Didn’t realise Knysna was on the Atlantic coast!

[@ThomasMarrow]

It isn't and how I didn't notice that mistake is quite alarming as I grew up here and know that it is the Indian ocean!!

[@ivorevans1795]

@ThomasMarrow :-) !! Was thinking gosh my SA geographical knowledge is bad! Such a great idea for the series. Do please consider Zambia in your future thoughts - my location - we have some amazing bush locations, just a CAA stuck in the dark ages when it comes to experimental aircraft. Am determined to change that over the next few years! Video from you visiting one or 2 locations might be the tonic we need!

[@aviator267]

Fantastic series unfolding. ❤

[@ThomasMarrow]

Still need to make a turn past you guys in Bots!

[@aviator267]

@@ThomasMarrow will be looking forward to that. Bring Stefan @kfaaircraftandadventures with.

[@osks]

Great presentation! BTW - It’s the Indian Ocean, not the Atlantic…

[@justinspencer-young3935]

Add Waterfall Bluff and Cathedral Rock on the Wild Coast to your list...looking forward to seeing that 😁😁

[@durandevilliers]

[@ThomasMarrow]

We need to do more flying soon!

[@doepieduplessis7163]

Which airfield were you at when spraying down your plane? Nice vid. Tx

[@david-johnrainier9870]

[@swissyodelbear]

Thanks

[@coeniethomas1887]

Nice video Thomas, would you mind maybe sharing the airports locations that you go to /land at ?

[@ThomasMarrow]

Will be more in depth in the following videos!

[@waterbuck]

Isn't Knysna on the Indian ocean since it's east of Cape Agulhas?

[@brianharte6014]

Correct, it is the Indian ocean

[@ThomasMarrow]

Not sure how I made this mistake, I grew up here and know that it is the Indian ocean!! This KZbin thing never gets easy haha

[@vernonmalyon4953]

Great video. Are you using your iPad for navigation?

[@milesonme]

To the pilots, can you land a bush plane on the beach like the one Thomas was flying along?

[@ginochristian7656]

Head to St Lucia soon.

[@ThomasMarrow]

Definitely on the cards for a trip down there soon!

[@gregpratt9432]

[@ThomasMarrow]

[@peterpaulissen2690]

I live near the Highway International Airport and the noise is becoming unacceptable. Can't you use mufflers like we al do with our cars, bikes, lawnmowers, et, et, et??

[@arnehaieschild343]

You need a camera operator...wing camera bit lame,looking forward to more though...

[@peterpaulissen2690]
