Hi everyone, Thank you all for the incredibly kind and positive comments on our Long way South Series, we truly appreciate all the support from around the world! At the very end of the series we want to make a video about how we planned the journey, and what our final take is on such an endeavour. In this video we’d like to answer the many questions we’ve gotten so far. If you have anything in specific you’d like us to talk about, please do not hesitate to share the questions below. We’ll do our best to answer as much as possible in the final video. Love, Rosita and Maurits
Spent a life traveling, an aviator, in soo many places. An ol timer enjoying videos. Amazing, we didn’t share, like you are, social sharing not there. Please enjoy, and realize the tremendous experience you’re living. The airplane, countries, and planning for all is wonderful to share with you 😊
It is such a privilege to be able to share our journey like this with other pilots like you! We're enjoying every minute of it, and I always love reading comments like this!
Super nice to see the Croatian coast from the air for the first time since I flew there in a KC-135 refuelling F-16s (1995 - Deny Flight). Thanks to you for the beautiful scenery!
I really enjoyed watching you flying over Alps, Slovenia and Croatia. My goal is to fly regularly from Ireland to Serbia in a small airplane. I have only started taking lessons for my PPL(A) licence. You can imagine the insights I got from this. The ATC communication, fuel stop suggestion etc. Thank you for sharing these videos along your journey.
Hello, just wanted to say that this is the first video of yours I have seen and I am hooked already. --- I worked as a close protection officer (bodyguard) and had hopes of 1 day taking lessons and seeing we’re it goes but then got I’ll and now wheelchair bound, so life sometimes takes you in a new direction. --- That being said, this for me is the next best thing quite frankly. Not only is the plane beautiful, but I personally found this video educational, friendly, fun. --- I’m assuming (and I could be wrong) but I’m assuming the gentleman isn’t an actual pilot? If he isn’t, then I must say, his radio skills and flight planning is sensational!. --- Usually when pilots say they’re going to record it’s normal just of the take off and landing. However with yourselves, it’s just a full and broad look into both of you as people which I believe is the thing that actually hooks most people because not only are we seeing beautiful pictures, landscapes ect but we are seeing both yourself and the gentleman as actual people… and for me it’s a 50/50. A 50% mix of the fact it’s plane related and 50% mix of you both as individuals. --- Apologies for the long message, but thank you. Your now my go to channel for relaxation mode.
For Scalea no booking of a hotel is necessary. Mirko at the airport helps you with everything... Hotel... Transfer... Tips for restaurant. Never had such a beautiful experience at any airport.
Thank you so much for taking me on this adventure with you. It is an awesome awesome video and the trip of a lifetime I'm sure. Stay safe have fun and keep uploading. Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada
Nice episode - Airport Scalea, have good memories from this place, same stay overnight in the hotel. Love to see your video's from all your trips. Keep your good performed flying.👍
Benvenuti in Italiaaaa!!! Sono contento che siate qui. L'accento di Roma Informazioni mi ha ricordato casa. L'accento di Scalea radio è orribile!! 😄 Buon viaggio!!!!
Hello from slovenia....nice trip from the air...next time must visit our country and you will se the moste beutifull country in EU....all the best and safe flight
Flying from Italy we did a right wing low flying tour all the was around the Island of Crete in a C-130 several years ago and then spent the night there ..... Awesome place !
Hi Rosita, greetings from Argentina. I really enjoy all your trips, your filming and editing as well as the flight it self. If I may, I´d like to do a small suggestion: when posible, can you explain how the procedures are when you cross from one country border to another in-flight, despit the previous flight plan? Are there some specific radio calls you have to follow? I think that would be interesting, specially considering all those countries you have to land on during the trip. Cheers from NE Patagonia, (a dream place).
@@PilotBambi Thank you! One question if you don't mind: do/did you have to pay any overflight fees for countries you cross on this whole journey? I know ICAO recommends for aircraft < 2t MTOM to be exempt from ANSP fees, but some countries still decide to charge (e.g. Germany for certain approach sectors). I really wonder what the situation in Africa is like
Thanks again Pilot Bambi for another excellent clip 😎 What a beautiful approach and that Sling looks sooooo Awesome to fly!And oh boy,how about that Skycrane helicopter arrival,what a sight that was.
@@PilotBambi if you ever come to paris and want some tips on where to fly/where to shoot/What to do, do not hesitate to reach out (this is an honnest and disinterested offer)
Just one little advise, on Rotax engine on the pre flight when turning over the prop don't stand infront of the prop, stand behind it and turn it over. In case the magnetos for some reason stayed on. Happy flights!
Hello Bambi, I was happy when I got your video in a long time. I like your exciting plane drive to Italy with your boyfriend. Italy is a beautiful country and so popular for pizza. I wish you to have a delicious pizza and a happy Italian tour Bambi with your partner
Glad to hear it!! Gosh so these travel johns were horrible, never getting them again. They were the old version (paper?!), the new plastic ones are alot better haha 😅
I was also very sad to see the dog so skinny, but we were told by the airport staff that they found him along the road in a ditch a week prior, and they've been taking good care of him. Apparenlty he was even skinnier!! :( But he's in good hands now!
I bambi and pal hope you are both well. Philip wishes he was with you my be one day I will be with you. What a beautiful flight with the weather was so nice and a beautiful landing. And to finish off with a pizza and a beer what does a person want in life. You are so amazing take care and good luck for the future phil. 🍻🍀🎅🤟👍
Hi Rosita! Fellow aviator here. Today I have a boring old job flying the 747 so my adventure days are pretty much over. For now at least, because the bush is always calling. Anyway, I spent 2 years in Namibia flying the 210 and have done a couple of impressive ferries. If you ever need any help or advice I woild be glad to help. Really enjoy watching your energetic videos and makes me very jealous of your adventures. Keep them coming. I’m still flying as instructor at EBUL and soon hopefully drop pilot in the Caravan. Maybe we can can create some content together this summer or perhaps you can join one of our 747 flights to JNB or NBO in 2023. Would be great to get in touch. For now though focus on the miles ahead, keep preparing well and I look forward to the rest of the series. Can you also please make a video on the real world performance of the Slig 4 high wing during your trip aimed at buyers and pilots? The numbers look quite impressive. Hou je goed!
Could you do a special session on the flight planning that went into this. You mentioned a number of factors such as availability of customs, ground handling costs, fuel costs, ForeFlight recommendations, etc. I believe some ground handlers charge 500 euros for a simple technical stop...are you paying anything near that?
I just bought a microlight and my dream is to start flying all over and just never stop exploring. Best advice from you who has done the most. Just basic mistakes I could miss or advice what you missed the most or your biggest mistake? Any help will be a bonus even if it is only a good luck!!😁
Haha that would be a dream! But I'm more into the scrambler to be honest. We're looking into some exciting projects with them for next year, fingers crossed!

Genieten
Лучшая😍🌏✈
i love going on this trip with you virtually! can you tell us more about the porta-johnies? :D
Glad to hear it!! Gosh so these travel johns were horrible, never getting them again. They were the old version (paper?!), the new plastic ones are alot better haha 😅
Hi... I have a question where did you learn to fly a helicopter in which country and which school Academy ?
Awesome, thanks for sharing 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it William!
@Pilot Bambi That landing due East in Italy was really special. How many episodes altogether? How has the reaction been to your vlogs so far?
Helemaal gaaf weer! Mooie video! Leuk om 'mee te vliegen'.
Dankjewel!!
Those dogs are so emaciated and are starving. 😞
Saludos desde Madrid!!!
Seems to have a different number meanwhile, ZS-ISU, so the flights are logged under that one.
Those dogs need food!!!!!!!!
I was also very sad to see the dog so skinny, but we were told by the airport staff that they found him along the road in a ditch a week prior, and they've been taking good care of him. Apparenlty he was even skinnier!! :( But he's in good hands now!
I see the turning of the prop during preflight but I'm waiting to hear that burp!😅
We'll have to add that in one of the videos haha!
Ciao from Italy
ciao!
Super tof! Krijg het gevoel zelf mee te vliegen. Good job🙏🏻
Dankjewel!!
Nog geweldig! Gaaf!
Dankjewel!!
Loving your trip,thanks.JHB-SA.
Thanks!!
🔥🔥

Love your videos. Has Rotax ever considered a 6 cylinder motor?
Tem que ter muito dinheiro para fazer um turismo desse!!!
Amazing trip and as always a great video. Next time maybe try planning a fuel stop ans a visit in Israel...
Have safe flights and thanks for sharing 🛩
Waiting from South Africa bambi
Hello nice 😊
I just bought a microlight and my dream is to start flying all over and just never stop exploring. Best advice from you who has done the most. Just basic mistakes I could miss or advice what you missed the most or your biggest mistake? Any help will be a bonus even if it is only a good luck!!😁
the best way to end this leg of the journey by eating pizza and drinking beer
it sure is!! And we had a tiny tiramisu to end it off as well! 😅
I'd sure like to see your weight and balance calcs. Want to see hour others do this.
Which kind of software you are using for tab checklist? And can you also reveal the model of your Gatmin tracker. Awesome content btw!
The checklist is part of Foreflight and we were using the Garmin Inreach Mini 2
What you do if you need to use the bathroom ?
Will there be some nice Triumph footage coming soon too? Maybe there's a Bonneville packed in with all that luggage? Happy skies!
Haha that would be a dream! But I'm more into the scrambler to be honest. We're looking into some exciting projects with them for next year, fingers crossed!
