Thanks for sharing Tim. We are just back from a Namibian overland trip. Went all the way up to Epupa and Etosha - wonderful. I’m not a pilot (sadly) but all I could think was how amazing would this be from the air.
That was my introduction to Namibia and I clearly have more to see. The north must be beautiful. From the air is a beautiful perspective, but it must be coupled with stuff down on the ground and overland is a great way to experience Namibia.
When I got my plane she was just blue. I added the trims and had "big Beautiful Doll" in mind. I have a video somewhere of that called The Story of ICE.
NICE! Just a small sound editting tip. You exported in stereo, left speaker is your voice, right one the outside sounds. This makes it harder to hear your voice. It is better to export in mono and be sure that the outside sounds aren't that hard... But nevertheless, great adventure, well done!
I have a picture but cant seem to share it here. I took 2 flat aluminium pieces about 2cm wide and drilled about 5 holes in each and counter sunk. I used the same screws that hold the fiberglass fairing at the end of the wing on the top and the bottom of the wing and lined it up. Then placed a mount at the end joining the 2 pieces of aluminium. It creates a nice sturdy triangle and the insta camera sits very firmly only about 20cms in front of the wing. That's all you need to get a good perspective back on yourself.
@@timothyirvine2842 brilliant thanks Timothy, appreciate the reply, will try out what you’ve done, works great. Haven’t found anything out there that works well for an RV. Great way to document the memories.
@@kwaailight you are right. One of the longest runways in the world for high and hot conditions for big heavy planes. I googled and someone said the NASA thing is an urban legend. I like the story though.
@@timothyirvine2842 I would not be surprised if the runway DID serve as an alternative/emergency one for the shuttle, but it was not built for that purpose.
Awesome
Africa’s vast land and space have so much to offer and should be the general aviation’s dream land. Definitely on my bucket list😇
@@dtsh4451 do it!
This is my dream. One day...
Very cool!! Thanks for sharing.

Super video! It could be an awesome adventure! Your plane has a cool "like a P-51" livery 😉

The quality of this video overall exceeds the expectations of a channel this small. Great video/presentation.
@@grantcaprice2902 thanks. Takes time. The channels biggest fan is me! I do it for my memories.
would love to do this one day
@@finnadekeditz do it

@@PulkVideo thanks for that feedback. I don’t often do a voice over and don’t spend much time on that. I’ll google a bit and get that right next time.
Great video Timothy, would love to plan a trip like that with a few fellow aviators bucket list stuff. How did you mount your camera on the wingtip?

The person who started the Solitaire apple strudel tradition passed away in 2014. He was Percy 'Moose' McGregor.
@@kwaailight Thanks. Still worth popping in to see the place.
@@timothyirvine2842 absolutely! A very special little remote spot!
I thought the long airstrip at Upington was for Boeing 747 Cargo planes taking export grapes to Europe? That may have predated the Shuttle flights?

My left ear says thanks
@@fabianmue9505 what happened?
The wind noise in the video is deafening on some of the scenes and overpowers your voice.
@@jacoswart4397 ok, got that a bit wrong
