Thank God I wasn’t lost in N2103S but it is an awesome picture 😅
Waiting for part 3
Take a shot every time he pronounces Gabon as GabOOn
just started reading you book great stories thank you I am recreating some of the flights in MSFS 2020 on twitch
Read this in your book but it was entertaining listening you tell the story in your own words. Keep the videos coming. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers from Las Vegas, NV. CFI SEL (+2800 TT).
You flew over Lake Tanganyika at some point that night, likely in those thunderstorms. That would be an interesting technicality, except that the terrain east of the lake is mostly below 3500' MSL, but just east of the lake there is a substantial ridge up to around 7000 to 8000 feet. Following the ground through there could have led to some excitement as the terrain jumps from 3000' MSL to the ridge at 8000 MSL. There's a gap along your direct route but given your circumstances, it would have been dumb luck if you had flown through it and missed the sharp ridge. Climbing into the thunderstorms put you above that, but it sounds like a hell of a lucky coincidence...
Just bought both books on Amazon!!! Saw you on So There I Was.. I had forgotten that I used to watch you on TV. I can’t wait to read your books.
I've been waiting for part 2 for what seems like forever 😂
Wow! another great story from the crazy man himself.
wow quite the adventure - interesting beyond what you could have imagined I am sure. Hindsight it was fantastic....going through it was anything but. Good for you Kerry. Great piloting/navigational skills.
Hey Kerry, love the stories and the Airport Identifier of the Airport in Gabon. Seems apropos
Thank you for not relaying any of these stories to me when you'd call with trip updates!😟
Great stories
Love it!
Any plans to fly /practice with Connor again? Always fun to learn from your hand flying skills, so might be an idea to do those vids with him again. Greetings from Europe ❤
Read your book, and enjoyed it immensely. Great story, thank you for sharing it with us Kerry.
Man, these are so awesome. What an adventure!
👍✅ Laughing along with you, heard you tell it on another youtube channel and would listen again, Tks Kerry🤣
My gosh how many times this video gonna be re-uploaded? I'm glad it is in my algorithm but sure would like to hear a NEW story from Kerry!
