Descrição

Africa bush pilot flying the Botswana Okavango Delta 2019 - Follow along, as I explore the Okavango Delta, by bush plane, flying with Ian Chamberlain from MackAir.

In another video, I'll share the fun trip from Cape Town to Maun, flying upfront, with pilot friend Vera in the ERJ. This was a real treat - thanks Vera!

In 2019, this region is in the midst of a severe drought. Join as we fly to the safari lodge airstrips, and view the Okavango Delta from above.

In this episode : We visit Xaranna, Chiefs Island and Cement, before returning back to the Maun International Airport.

With Botswana's large concentrations of birds and animals, this area is perhaps one of the best places to view animals and birds in Africa. It is one of Africa's last remaining great wildlife habitat and provides refuge to huge concentrations of wildlife.

I always use Tourist maps when I fly cross country because of the accuracy.

Yes, a PT-6 in Beta is a nice sound! In A&P school we each got our own PT-6, bugged by an instructor or senior class member. The goal of the class (turbine powerplant diagnosis & repair) was that you get one semester to diagnose your PT-6, fix it, and run it to acceptable, factory settings & limits. If you did so it was an automatic "A."

Wonderful program. You did a stellar job editing it. Just like something I would watch on the Discovery Channel. The music choice adds a lovely touch. Well done!
