This series is so pure and fantastic! Should have millions of views 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Pilot_Diallo]

I watch it every times to bust my motivation towards aviation

[@Herofromzer0]

İ open this video randomly it's camera angles and story telling is way better than any national geographic story line.

[@SoulTonicLife]

Just discovered you guys. Thanks for creating the most incredible unimagined adventure. Funtastic times. It was great to see the Namibian landscapes from the air.🤗

[@FtwAv8r]

This series needs to be released as a documentary.

[@TheBiblestudynow]

You guys have inspired me to get my PPL. I just finished taking my written, passed it, and just began taking my flight instruction. I’m taking 2 lessons per week. Can’t wait to finish!

[@fernandezjuano]

how are this videos not in the millions? this are entirely entertaining and beautiful.

[@NationX]

Just got done watching the Around the World in 40 Days video and now watching this series. I don't care if I have to go through hell, I want to get my PPL just to explore the world.

[@mikespeers]

"You're not mad, you're South African." I love that comment from your last video.

[@rolandthompson5336]

Lmao ja nee

[@dorianna_ku4817]

My beautiful country, proud Namibian 😊

[@davidkennedy7549]

Wow, I came here via pilot Bambi, was expecting typical flying vlog. This was very interesting, special and moving. I knew nothing about this part of the world--and was fancitated! German genocide in So Africa?! Never learned this in school. And James Pitman, you're an absolute kook in the best way...I was glad to see the more serious/somber side when it was appropriate. All the best to both of you on your future adventures.

[@maddog.mcewan]

LOVED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! - i watch so many 4x4 africa stuff (im in Langebaan) but so wish someone would organise a barnstorming from Cape to Cairo with homebuilds expedition

[@AbdurahmanAlomrani]

21:00 yes, that is not some random couple of people who spinning the world and film the journey, you guys are storytellers at most!. The sound design of the fighter jets gave it away for me, you guys do not conform to mediocrity at anything you do. Building planes or filming a documentary. How this footage came to edit and by narrating only what matter nothing less and nothing more makes me hooked as a viewer and filled with emotions of the time of these different events!. Superb job!, i salute you for all these adventures and endeavours 👋🏼

[@ABC-rh7zc]

Is it exactly the same content? I was blown away by the full-length version. Such an adventure, especially through European eyes.

[@ShiftyMediaOfficialChannel]

It is the same content. I had to do a bit of remixing of audio because of copyright claims.

[@user-xo8ms5wh2s]

Very nice guys i like watching from Malawi

[@tonyharding4794]

Why why why? The full length version is a CLASSIC. I am trying to understand why this has not been shown on SABC.

[@WildLandings]

I know! But I had to do re-versioning of the original into 3 parts with some music edits because of copyright claims. BTW, local SA television is in a dire situation regarding documentary. Ran this by DSTV and they didn't bite. SABC is a write off.

[@CaptainCharlieBravo]

Awesome! I was hoping you’d make more videos! Loved the first couple.

[@necaro]

Magic!

[@maxhaines3794]

Nice plane, awesome footage and last but not least, awesome guys! Thanks for sharing this with us👌🏼

[@Travelingchefmark]

I love your stuff, the round the world trip to Oshkosh was incredible. I can’t wait to fly your aircraft

[@FalcoGeorge]

Living on the other side of the world I’m ignorant of this history. Powerful stuff. Thank you for posting it. Of course the flying is cool too.

[@moosesnWoop]

Thanks for the uploads! Inspired planning a trip with my family from durban because of this. Beautiful and truly authentic.

[@shadowofmyfutureself]

You guys ROCK. I am in love with you both

[@snoopdog6426]

you guys kick ass. Awesome. REAL FREEDOM and mutual respect are rare commodities in the world.

[@tonchecker]

Super Video, carry on with th good work!

[@3DRealmsUnveiled-gh1dx]

I remember When I was 10 I flew in a sling with James pitman , And his sling had stickers of the globe on the wings if I remember right . He did a barrelroll with me and my brother . I did not have a seatbelt on and I was confused that I did not hit the roof of the cockpit when we were upside down I found out later , why, That was the first time i ever flew in an airplane , it was a really cool experience .

[@colbybarnard2675]

wow, some people live life while others just wait to die. I hope I get the chance to start living and stop waiting to die

[@waynekester2514]

Damn.....you guys are having fun while breaking the boundaries. I really enjoy all these video's guys. You guys remind me of LtCol Charlie Marei from Air Force Base Bloemspruit....n regte malkop.

[@gershomjt1810]

Wow. Love the content guys!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@lucypretorius972]

Awesome South Africans you are...

[@lucypretorius972]

What an awesome post...

[@dewetgroenewald9550]

Absolutely love these trips! Been wanting to chuck my mate out of my sling 2. He’s a very experienced skydiver. I can’t find anything that prohibits him from jumping out my plane. Any comments on the do’s/don’t/legalities on this? Cheers!

[@acengineer737]

Very interesting. Some hard stuff to deal with

[@MattyRouter]

Astounding!

[@anesukafesu7875]

James is so full of life😂

[@kharthigeyan]

Who edited this video?. They have done really good job 👍

[@WildLandings]

Lloyd Ross of Shifty Media

[@HairyMTB]

that is living life

[@moon-eh]

More videos please!

[@AV8R_1]

I can’t believe James jumped out to go check out the landing spot. What if Mike couldn’t land there for some reason? James would be hiking out! 🤣

[@dtsh4451]

Mike probably has to keep flying back and dropping supplies for the next month 🤣

[@jacobpalmer9247]

A bit curious here, who is the camera person. I love the production quality. Maybe do a making of...

[@BijanIzadi]

Wewww fresh uploads 🤙

[@WildLandings]

Hmm, not exactly, just a re-versioning of the original into 3 parts with some music edits because of copyright claims! There will be new uploads soonish though, so hang ten!

[@midafricam]

Awesome as always to watch your exciting adventures. Great video and editing

[@namdelovoi]

Namibia is ….. Namibia.

[@lucypretorius972]

but sorry there is no memory from 2 years old

[@bdcp]

What's the song at 0:31?

[@WildLandings]

winstonsjivemixup.bandcamp.com/track/pyp-dans The hottest jol band in South Africa, towards the end of apartheid!

[@bdcp]

@@WildLandings Uh neat. But i think that's a completely different song.

[@cryptoij1297]

everyone saying "fantastic video" without no reference to the horrific acts of germans. man

[@naijapilotxmax6006]

Why did I even watch this video? The history aspect beclouded the aviation fun 😡😡😡😤😡
