Flight Over Africa (National Geographic)

If you haven't seen this (somewhat dated) documentary, I think you will find it worth a gander. I watched it with my wife and she even enjoyed it!

It is a pretty cool video, I started a thread about it a couple months ago.

Sorry I missed it, Hotrod! I searched the forum before posting but it didn't come up.

Oh well, if you didn't see it at Hotrod's suggestion, watch it now!

Re: Flight Over Africa (National Geographic)

I saw Hotrod's other thread....but I'll reply on this one too. Just recently re-watched it. Definitely helps me "calibrate" what I think i need for a back country airplane. Especially like his camping set up. Couldn't really imagine a better airplane for the job than a late model 180.

Re: Flight Over Africa (National Geographic)

Is that his only video besides that other movie on his site? I searched some on YouTube but came up with nothing. It would be great to see more documentaries covering the rest of his 7 continent around the world trip.
