THUNDERSTORMS OVER SUDAN - Long Way South E06

22/09/2026 · Pilot Bambi

Descrição

After we waited for our Sudanese landing permits to be confirmed we departed Egypt towards Sudan. After a beautiful sunset we run into bad weather. With the help of an airline aircraft in the area we navigate our way around the storm. We land in Khartoum, Sudan and explore the country the next day. We visit several tempels and historic sides and stop along the road for some hibiscus tea. We end the day at the impressive pyramids of Meroe.

This is episode 6 of the Long way South Series; a 6 week journey flying the new Sling High Wing aircraft from The Netherlands to South-Africa.

I loved the way you actively used relays to help communicate and to avoid weather. Props to the KLM and Air France pilots being professional and very helpful. I'd have really liked to see more of the thunderstorm situation, but I assume both of you were busy piloting more than filming, which is exactly the correct thing to do. Just absolute top level piloting from you!

This is very, very, bitter sweet for me. Knowing Sudan to be a lovely country with very decent people, but also knowing the horrendous civil war they are now going through.🇬🇧🇸🇩🇸🇸

Sudanese pilot here You might have filmed me landing that b737 😉 Also spotted your little Rotax SHW at the airport it was parked very close to the arrival terminal Welcome to Sudan from a fellow pilot❤️ Side note: WXR in KRT is hectic at times fly safe

The fact it was a KLM to be your first radio relay was such a nice coincidence. I agree with Maurits: "WTF Dutchies at 8000". Also great idea to ask AF for WX, and thanks to both displaying professional airmanship by helping you out. Great vlog!

Thank God you're safe out of Egypt

Using the camera low light capabilities to help avoid the storm: genius! Knowing there is a 39,000 ft TCU in the dark, somewhere in front of you must have been terrifying… I was sweating bricks just watching you managing the situation. All alone, no radar vectors from ATC... I’m really glad you are ok!! Take care and blue skies.

Thank you so much for this video. You scared us through the night flight without weather radar. I know Sudan very well flying to Khartoum from Doha every month during 3 years. Rain and storm can be terrible. Thank you for grasping so well all the good things about Sudan and Sudanese who are so nice. You are great persons and very impressive. (From France)
