- Helloooooo everyone, it’s been a while!
Last week I was asked to Ferry a Cessna 206 from Mannheim Germany to Midden-Zeeland in the Netherlands. We had a blast!!
It was my first time traveling again since the outbreak of Corona, and Maurits and I carefully followed the Dutch and German safety regulations during our trip.
Follow along as we head down to Germany by train, to pick up one of my favorite planes and fly her back along a breathtaking route. Enjoy!!
Thanks to Paracentrum Texel for allowing me to ferry their aircraft: www.paracentrumtexel.nl

Nice one Bambi!!! The smile on your face during the low approach in Cologne is priceless! I'm also very happy to hear how positive and reactive the German controllers were! Well done! Keep on doing what you're doing!
Thank-you so much Joe! Really loved flying in Germany, and so glad I can share my experiences with the aviation community! 😄
@@PilotBambi I was really impressed with the ATC offering you a low approach and circuit over the cathedral. If there's one good thing happening with the current COVID 19 situation is that you can do some things you probably couldn't do as easily under normal circumstances. Too bad you couldn't take him up on the cathedral fly over, but the airport fly by was great!
@@PilotBambi Thank you for the very amazing Video! I´m right now in the Flight school for my SPL License
Captain Joe in the house!
@@BoomerKeith1 From my experience the guys at EDDK always try to squeeze you in for some fun things around the airport. Most traffic is at night, so during the day low approaches and some sightseeing inside the CTR are usually no problem at all :)
I love how friendly the ATC were at Köln!!!
With so little air traffic because of COVID, he needs someone to talk to LOL..
True. But they are always super nice - even before Covid I have done low passes there many times.
PS: last weekend, we did the same in Frankfurt. Now THAT is only possible in the current situation. Probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...
@@c.j.5435 for sure. I was joking.
So awesome! I would have turned off the cameras and done the cathedral
Haha that tower controller at EDDK... perfect example of an accommodating controller who probably was bored as heck due to COVID and got excited as soon as you requested lower :D
Kind of like "uuuhhh.... she want's to check out the airport, do a low approach then if you like"
And then "mh.... I don't want her to leave the CTR yet, so why not a couple of circles overhead the Cologne Cathedral" :D
Yes, hehehe...
That was my thought too. That's something that probably won't happen again and I'm sure it was as fun for the controller as it was for her.
@@BoomerKeith1 Actually low approaches and circles overhead the cathedral are quite common on scenic rides you can book from the nearby Bonn-Hangelar airfield. As a GA pilot you will quite often get a positive answer for those requests. The circles overhead the cathedral are usually a highlight for tourists :-)
@@GuentherBN I've never flown outside of the US, so I didn't realize it was common. Very cool! Thank you for your insight!
"Just plain hard work..." 😂
"It was definitely no fun at all." Brilliant!
Köln-Bonn is my current base and i think we have one of the coolest Controllers there! They are super professional but on the other hand always up for a good joke and will always try to accommodate a low Approach or a sightseeing tour overhead the city! Nice Video and nice flying! Good to see some flying in these days.
I've never flown outside of the US, but he definitely seems like a great controller. I haven't run across many personable controllers (and I understand they have a lot going on and need to focus) but he seemed like a great person.
We need more cool controllers... I loved listening to Boston John and Kennedy Steve... Now that Boston John got kicked upstairs and Kennedy Steve is retired, we need a cool ATC to look forward to... someone who is super professional, whose up for a joke... The TH-camr H89SA who posts ATC traffic needs a cool ATC to introduce his subscribers to... BTW, that TH-camr is responsible for the nickname 'Kennedy Steve' for the ATC Stephen Abraham
Bonny D. - Back in the spring of 2018 it seemed a new hero was emerging out of Toronto - “Pearson Dave” - but I haven’t heard much from/of him lately!
the controller in manheim is the best
how did you fly over the military base without getting 5 stars ?!?!?!
Because of using a trailer on the ipad ^^ life hacks are more easy than GTA5
just call Lester and it will be fine
Military base Gilze-Rijen isn't restricted /prohibited airspace.

I feel like there's a joke here but am dunno what it is.
@@Karuiko the "wanted" level in GTA (grand theft auto) is shown in stars.
-
In some countries (and video games) it's illegal to fly-over a military base.
But in the Netherlands we already know it before they enter the country.
16:15 "Just plain hard work." ... "Exactly that". HAHA. You seem to like your work very much. And I love watching you work. Keep it up Bambi.
Back in the 1980s I delivered a Piper PA-18 (Super Cub) from Colorado to Austria. It was a solo flight with a 32 gallon (~110 Liter) tank in the back seat. You just have to convince yourself that all that water down there is Kansas.
You mean image flying over cornfield 🤣
I love the scenery & your narration! Not to mention your smile.
30+ years in Ketchikan (KTN), Alaska, USA, starting in 1974. It's the Panhandle, South East AK, on Tongass Narrows. Walking the waterfront, it seemed like every 5th business was a charter service - all float planes. Alaska Airlines partially originated there. Originally, most floats were 2-bladed. Town was on hillside. 2-blades made so much noise on takeoff, Echoing off hillside, town had to stop conversation if you were in line with the take-off path, even on phone (landline). My wife's school, the classes on water side were interrupted for a takeoff, teachers and students (grade school) automatically paused talk. Busiest water in Alaska, busier than Anchorage's (ANC) Lake Hood. The tower at the airport didn't control the water, and float planes, unless they were landing at the concrete. The usual suspects, like Cessna, but the thrill was the Grummans: Goose were common, there were Ducks, and one Skunk. 3-blade props were so much quieter, they eventually became mandatory. Beavers were all over the place - the heavy haulers. The pilots often gave you ear phones so you could listen - especially on flightseeing charters. The wife did the flights to all the remote places (even homesteads) for one Census - she had a ball. Flew in cloudy weather - clear day too much turbulence, the pilots said. Tourists resulted in "summer pilots", unfamiliar with terrain & weather, resulted in some tragedies, but one of the most beautiful places in the world. Fjords like Norway in Temperate Rainforest with backdrop of permanent snow/glacier mountains (The Coast Range). No helo-sking that I remember. Now, most charter services closed as fishing declined and logging disappeared. You'd love it! Don't miss a chance, if it comes your way. If float plane with wheels and your don't have float endorsement, few runways /airports, so weather is critical. I love the water take-offs and landing. Funny stories of tourist's reactions.
Am on the Kenai (ENA) Peninsula in Alaska, now. So many private strips, hard to count. 60 air miles from Anchorage, on Cook Inlet, occasionally active volcanos. Redoubt is 35 miles from us - majestic. Was here for last 2 eruptions. collected minor ash. Ash is grit - can destroy internal combustion engine, does dire things to jet turbines. Regular Notams if eruptions. Can see Spur and Iliamna. Mountains: Coastal range, the Kenai, Chugach range, etc. For Volcanos and fabulous photos, recommend AVO.edu (Alaska Volcano Observatory) - whole Ring of Fire for the state. Would that be a ferry flight! Just wait for our government to change.
Your positive attitude and smile says it all. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing the flight with us, so nice to see such joy and enthusiasm you bring to the videos. Take care.
Loved this video! I'm 52 years old and am taking my first PPL lesson on Saturday. Couldn't be more excited! You make it look easy and so much fun!
Congratulations, how is it going? I'll have my first one at 47
How’s the training coming along!?
@@VictoryAviation doing my flight test next Friday! Looking forward to being done!
@@strattest Oh that’s super exciting!!! Way to go boss! I’m sure you’ll nail it. That first check ride is always the most nerve wracking. It’ll be way easier than you imagine. Promise!
Let us know how it goes!
Such wholesome videos, recently discovered your channel and I’m loving your content. Love the fact that you always have a genuine smile and you always show incredible amounts of energy. Keep up with the videos, I’ll love to see more of this channel.
Absolutely great video! Enjoyed it very much, keep em coming. I like especially that you explain everything in detail like pre flight inspection and planning.
Thanks for showing the whole preflight checks! I'm just getting interested in flying and your YT channel is such a refreshing and positive way to learn and really feel the plane life 😊 Thank you & keep up the great work! Best regards from Germany
Just plain hard work. Love it! Thanks for showing how you plan.
Bambi you rock! The preparations, flying, filming, audio and editing, the music (not the usual mainstream sound) - it was such a joy to watch - I could tell you really hated doing that, just like the low approach at EDDK RWY 32 :-) Please keep it rolling!
TH-cam algorithm brought me here, and I’m glad it did. I watched all your videos in a row, and then came back here to comment. Love your energy and how you’re always having the best time, looking forward to witnessing your next adventure. Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
Bambi: your joy and your smile are priceless! God bless you on your journey.
Hey Bambi what an awesome ferry flight!! First I want to thank you again for your amazing attitude you bring to aviation and to your viewers, as you take us along on your flights. You always have me smiling while watching your videos and wishing I am with you along for the ride. It was really nice to hear how cool the controllers were along your route, especially the one that let you do the low approach over the runway and was willing to let you have more fun!!! Your airspace system seem to be very complex and cluttered. But I guess it’s just like anything else, once you learn it it’s a piece of cake. Thanks again and safe flying!!!
Love the view into pilot life from your beginnings to now ..bravo love it ..great stuff
Cool flyover at Cologne and pretty relaxed ATController - great to see how relaxed he was and all the parked planes. I flew there for more than 2 years every week.
Hi from France! I love watching your videos, it always makes me smile! 🙂 You’re delightful, you give nice explanations and the editing is nice and relaxing.
It’s really inspiring and makes me even more want to pilot one day, please don’t stop!
Looks like you are having a blast. The smile is plastered on your face was definitely no fun and hard work. Happy flying!!!!
Great flying! Love your smile and friendly attitude!
Very neat, i just applied to get my ppl and am going to school in the spring. Thanks for showing off the cool stuff that comes with flying!
EDDK: best controllers in the world
great video, big thumbs up!
love how much you obviously enjoy flying - always with a smile;
that's so contagious, makes me wanna fly right NOW
You two are an adorable couple. Thanks for sharing your flights.
Once again, a real pleasure to accompany you and living vicariously through your flight. Flying activity has just started at my home airfield here in Melbourne, Australia and I can’t wait to go up, even for a couple of circuits. BTW my home airfield has a jump school and they operate 210s and similar. You should visit when international flights open up - they are always looking for pilots.
You two do a great job with your presentations and it’s a joy watching you fly, it’s evident how much you love flying! Thanks to you both
Dumme kuh
you are spreading so much positivity, you are always smiling always happy. i love watching your videos, pretty inspiring
Love that controller , such a cool guy
Loved it !
Your smiles are awesome too !!
Glad you are keeping your chin up 🤠
Hi Bambi! It is always a joy watching your videos. Your happyness is countagious! Thank´s for making my day even better! It was a thrill watching a real flight and spetially a ferry-flight! Cheers from northeast patagonia, Argentina. Be safe!
Another great video Rosita, I love the way you cover the pre flight to the landing. That ATC guy you talked to sounded like your friend Jolmer....lol Nice seeing you back at it again, enjoy every minute of it!!!
So confident a wonderful video with great ATC work
Love your happy and infectious smiles Rosita. Your beautiful eyes smile too! Nice smooth flying and excellent radio work and flight planning. Only downside (for me) is not enough ambient "Continental flat-6 music" from up the front, but then I'm a pilot and not a passenger, lol. Best wishes from far-away New Zealand, David.
Extremely fun and well edited video, with superb flying, and scenery.
That smile is so awesome!!! Thats why I got into aviation too!! Happy flying!
I love how instructive your videos are as well as being entertaining! 👍🏻
Beautiful contagious smile, always very friendly German ATC, thank you for sharing
I've been waiting for this video for so long thanks it was amazing 👌
Amazing as always Bambi!!!
Brilliant
You are a breath of fresh air!
Passionate pilot right there! made me smile!
Great film showing the amount of effort and concentration is needed to fly, Thank you for recording and showing us the fantastic views🎥👌
Excellent video! Was great fun to watch 😎🛫
I loved seeing your flight plan. While I was in the USAF I was stationed at Sembach AB (69-70) which was NE of Kaiserslautern or "K" Town. I was in the Aeroclub and few Pipers and Cessna's. Did a cross-country with a new pilot to Brussels and had coffee and returned to Sembach. Love your smile. Also traveled to Ultreck in Holland via car. Beautiful.
"No fun at all!" ...... Excellent!
The most positive and confident pilot!!!!
Hey, I am 16 years old and for some reason Thanks to the quarantine I realized that I love flying and I am just getting the paperwork done to start my Glider's training. You've been one of the essential inspirations for me and I really want to give you HUUGE thanks for helping me to decide what I want to do in my life! Now, I finally know it and I can focus on what I want to be doing and what I really love! Big like, and do not quit doing these marvellous inspirational videos :D
Glider pilot here, you will fall in love for it.
Good luck!
@@rafabeton609 Yeeah, I am so excited! :)
@@dalezapple2493 Thank you :D
good luck. Flying is lots of fun. Expensive fun, but fun :)
Sadly I had to quit my flying training due to a denied medical, one of the sadder days in my life.
Wonderful video! Seeing you making the low approach at Köln was a joy. Stay safe!
Je bent altijd zooo enthousiast en energiek...Je kan gewoon niet anders dan blij worden als je jouw videos kijkt. Love your channel!
Funtastic Video from this Ferryflight. Highlight the Low-Approach in CGN. Good Job!
Just found your videos, great fun to watch. Well done. Really competent planning and flying, a great role model in so many ways.
Great. I learn so many things from this flight.Very Nice.
GREAT video as always! Also, your composition and editing is excellent and that makes all your videos even better. Really enjoying the channel! Stay safe.
The smile on their face when they were allowed to lowpass/touch and go. PRICELESS. im jealous bcos i still cant fly.
I started off my flying career on a v old C206 (but with no door!) for a parachute school in Ireland 17 years ago - known as “meat bombing” - quickly progressed to commercial jets, on 737 for 13 years now, line training in recent years. Your enthusiasm and love of flying is evident - it will serve you well in your future career. Great videos - thanks for sharing, brought back happy memories - crazy how fast time goes from the early days flying in Cessna’s and Pipers 👍
Awesome video!
The controllers seemed so accommodating!
Wow! Fantastic radio work!
How much positive energy you have! That's impressive, keep up the good vibes.
What is "make sure the music works" that she checks in preflight? Is it a sensor?
Following you since your first video...
I just love it..
Beautiful flight
"Just 'plane' hard work..." Haha. Fantastic video!! Love the Cologne controller, that was cool!!
Als m'n vader nog had geleefd, had-ie alle video's gezien en overal op gereageerd.
Door deze prachtige vlucht was hij voor mij even heel dichtbij. Godspeed! ♥♥
That´s how life can be so so good. Thanks for sharing.. just found this and have to subscribed immediately! Aviation is the best thing!
Very Beautiful Flight Bambi. You are so nice and good at everything. You are really smart. Enjoyed Really. The sceneries are very beautiful. Thanks.
OK, I think this is your best video yet. Great job!
I see that you really enjoy what you do keep up the good work
Hi Bambi. Only recently discovered your channel. I must say I am envious and jealous of your escapades 🙂 !! I'm kinda too old to fly but like to live vicariously through peeps like you. Clear skies!
6:24 like the reference to your first video when you did the same thing lol. Love these videos! So much fun
Nice low approach at EDDK, next to my beloved homebase EDKB. We definateley have the coolest controllers in the tower. Did that several times with guests, always the same reaction. Love it so much.
First...This remember me when I was 16....long time ago, thank you.
She is such a boss. Always has fun when she is flying. Great video.
Very scenic flight
Ive just found your channel. You are a real inspiration to those wanting a career in aviation.
Also your videos beuifully filmed and edited. My compliments to you and other camera person.
Lovely video! I did exactly the same low approach on Köln airport during my training. Great controllers!
Looks like smooth magic!
I've flown quite some hours in the JBY, it's such a nice plane to fly. Good to see they give it a nice upgrade.
Great flying.
That controller is a dream of every pilot!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting. Love the instrument panel shake at 19:59 lol
Absolutely cool videos! 🛫+👩🏻✈️=😍
Awesome flight !
Hi Flying Bambi, just found your channel, you are just such a natural pilot, so awesome to watch!..and u made a good impact to me when u mentioned " as long as u keep very good radio contact, it should be perfectly fine", thanks for sharing....
Awesome, just awesome! 🤙🏻 What a fun flight! 😀 And how friendly, that controller?! He enjoyed your flight too?! 😋 And well put together, this video!
Loved the video! Good luck.
Just subscribed. First video I've seen of yours, but not the last. I really enjoyed your positive energy during the flight and talking to ATC. Super video.
Great video - looking forward to flying here in the netherlands
Love my Cessna 206G. Great traveling machine and fun for backcountry airstrips in Montana,Idaho and Utah to go camping.
Love your channel!! it's a cool addition to all the existing ones!! If you could subtitle your communications with ATC it would surely help a lot of foreign pilots (like me) that work to improve their english radio skills (I guess many viewers like me also watch these videos for that purpose).. Sometime it's so hard to grasp what the tower is saying...
Keep the freshness flowing and congrats!!
Very nice smile Bambi!! Keep it up always.😊
Thanks for the positive energy ⚡ that came from you, keep that Enthusiasm👍🏻💙
Recognized Bacharach Castle Jugendherberge (Youth Hostel) where we stayed overnight in April 1960 and my daughter in c 2005 !! You flew right over it.
Love your RT skills!!!
Great video! Glad to see you flying! Be going up soon for my second training flight for my ppl. 😎
The controllers in Cologne are amazing, this video brings back memories from the time as a student pilot at nearby EDKB!
Very nice video. Enjoyable flight. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, Bambi. I am sure that flight was no fun at all. All work and no play make Maurits a dull boy. Very interesting flight. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
